Are you using OEQuoteFix? I've seen that have some wild effects on links in
OE.

You're not using OE7 Beta by any chance?

As Michael pointed out, the inconsistency is the strange part.

You can try re-registering these dlls. It may not help, but it won't hurt
anything.

Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

In IE, go to: ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms. Click: Reset Web
Settings - (uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.

If I try to click or double click on a link within an HTML email it does
not open. It just shows the URL in the status bar but my browser never
opens. Is there any way to fix this?
