Outlook Express Help

Dec 9, 2003 7:30AM PST

When I receive an email with a internet address within it, I believe it's called URL, I can't click on it and open it up. The only way is to add it to favorites and then open it from there. It's alot of trouble. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks Doug

If Larry's MSKB article doesn't help, there is an easier workaround: select the link, ctlr-C (copy), and paste (ctrl-v) in the address bar of your browser. No need to use favorites.

Click,tools/options/security and be sure that box is unchecked which says "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that may have a virus."
Maybe this will help.
