Can i change the text color of a tag without css?

I'm writing a template for an e-mail, and I can't use css. I need to change the color of the links, by default they get blue and underline. I want to keep the underline but change the color to black. Is that even possible without css?

My exact line is:

<tr><td><a href="#"> Link 3 </a></td></tr>

EDIT

I found this answer but it adds an attribute to the body section. That's also something I can't have. Any other solutions?

<body link="XXX" alink="YYY" vlink="ZZZ">

EDIT

This link is great if like me you have to write html for an email. I'm copying it here for posterity. Thanks @Andy.

The only way to do this in PURE HTML is to use link and vlink attributes.

<body link='black' vlink='black'>
        <a href='#'>Click Me</a>
</body>

Here, link is a unvisited hyperlink and vlink is a visited hyperlink.

To change color on hover use alink (active link) attribute of the body tag :

<body link='black' vlink='black' alink='green'>
    <a href='#'>Click Me</a>
</body>

In the above code the color of the link changes to green whenever you hover the link.

HOPE This Helped You!

What you could do is use the old and deprecated font tag. So it would be:

<tr><td><a href="#"><font color="black"> Link 3 </font></a></td></tr>

Use below code: 

<tr><td><a href="#" style="color:black;"> Link 3 </a></td></tr>

it is an inline CSS and as per your requirement you can use it into your email.
