Microsoft Office Outlook >> how do I view a html link within Office Outlook2003?

by Q2hyaXNzaWUxOTY3 » Thu, 13 Oct 2005 21:43:01 GMT

If I receive eg example a newsletter from a site I have subscribed to, why,
when I click on a hyperlink, does Outlook try to save it as a file and not
open in IE? Are there any settings I can change to allow me to view them?

Does it actually say "Save" or does it ask "Locate Link Browser"? I bet it
is the last. Point it to iexplore.exe and it should open he link.

1. Links on web pages & within Outlook not linking/recieving some emails as HTML 

Sam

i've tracked down this problem & found that somehow i'd lost the file
associations for URL's.  once i'd re-associated them correctly the
problem cleared up.

when i mentioned 'Source code for emails', i meant the web pages that
arrive as emails was represented by the source code for those pages &
not the finished product.

Thanks for your response
