link won't work in Outlook 2000

[taubate]

Has anyone ever encountered a situation where a link in an email wouldn't open no matter how many times you click on it? Clicking just highlights it, but doesn't anything else. This is happening in Outlook 2000. Any ideas? Thanks!

Is that in incoming mail or a mail you are sending?
And, is it always or just now and then? _{If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

you probably have your mail format set to html, try making it plain text or rich text When in doubt, kick 'er in the guts

Go to Windows Explorer and then go to TOOLS - FOLDER OPTIONS - FILE TYPES. Look up the file type URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (you can press the letter N as a way to quickly get to the file types listed as N/A which this is assuming your on W2K or later)

Check the command line that is running for this file type. The command should similar to this

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome "%1"

(this all depends if DDE is being used as to how exactly the command line will read) joegz

It involves incoming mail and it doesn't always happen, that's the strange part, even though we don't have the folder options set.
