  As stated by others, nothing in the e-mail sent deals with colors.
This is something that happens at your end.  You brought up OE,
so in that light is all the Microsoft/Windows sucks/security tie-in
issues.  For example, one possibility that the links don't "change
colors" might be that someone has set the "History" setting under
IE to be "0" (zero), therefore the OE rendering of the e-mail
contents by the IE/Windows resources doesn't recognize that
the link was ever visited, as there "is no History" entry.  Lots
of other possibilities, but hoping that you see how difficult it
might be to give you the one correct answer from this side
of the screen.

And again, it would only be "red" if "I" had actually visited that
link/site and that 'fact' was 'recorded' in the "History" folder.
