Are you doing this to your <td> element?
ie:
<td class="m4">

If you have the space in there, like your example shows, between the '<' and the 'a' you need to remove it. Otherwise, this works fine for me.

<a href="link" class="m4">link</a>

Also (and this is off-topic), don't forget the end style tags after your CSS defs, it won't give you an error, but it will screw up, again, this is off-topic but it's handy to remember when you get quirky errors like that.

If I remember correctly, CSS/XHTML is case-sensitive. Also, don't forget a generic font-family as a last alternative.

Code:
a.m4 {
 	font-weight: bold;
 	font-size: 11px;
 	color: #036;
 	line-height: 10px;
 	font-family: Verdana, Sans-Serif, Serif;
 }

baseballdude: CSS properties aren't case sensitive, but the property values are.

Whilst it isn't exactly "wrong" to use upper-case attributes (indeed, it can actually make spotting the difference between a value and a property in an editor that doesn't provide syntax coloring easier) but the official spec does recommend that you use lower-case property names (at least AFAIK)

Class names, element IDs, XHTML element names, attributes, and attribute values, and CSS property values are all case-sensitive.

Note that IE ignores case for virtually everything. Except element IDs (IIRC) and some CSS property values.

Its my experience that CSS tags are case sensitive on MAC IE only. Still - its always better to standardize the way you do things. After my little run in with case sensitive CSS i have only written my CSS in lowercase.

You shouldn't be developing for Tasman (Mac IE) anymore, not since Safari at least. Mac IE is now unsupported and my website (which gets upwards of 300,000 visitors a day) only about 0.05% are from Mac IE (there are other Tasman-based programs, but Mac IE and Entourage 2004 are the biggest)
