Copy & paste a link
 

When I copy & paste a web link from IE into OE, the link cannot be opened.--
What is wrong?

Copy & paste a link
 

If you save it to Drafts and view in the Preview Pane, does it work now? It
won't work while you are still in a new message window.

Yes that works. If I forward an email with a link in the message, can the
receiver open the link or do I need to save it to Drafts first and then send
it. Thanks for your response.

You're welcome. Just send it. Send one to yourself and you'll see. It just
doesn't work in the message while you are creating it.

There is a good reason why links do not work in the composition window. If
they did, and you wanted to edit a link, when you clicked inside the link to
edit it it would open the link in IE.

(Not everything in OE has a good reason.)
