Unable to open links in e-mails receved using Outlook Express 6.0
 

Just recently, all links in e-mails I receive through my Outlook Express 6.0
have stopped working. Doesn't matter if it is a "buy" link, a link to a
story or whatever. Moving the cursor arrow over the link, the arrow becomes a
hand and the internet address for the link shows on the bottom of the screen
as always, but clicking the link once or twice does absolutely nothing. This
happens whether I haved opened the internet browser beforehand or not. My
browser was Internet Explorer 6.0, but updating to the new 7.0 still has the
same results. If I go on the internet to my e-mail server directly and open
the same e-mails, the links work. But not through Outlook Express. Any
ideas?

Unable to open links in e-mails receved using Outlook Express 6.0
 

Using IE6:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet
Shortcut) and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the path to
iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

Using IE7:

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults |
Browser: IE /must/ be chosen here if you're running IE7 and want such links
to work.

IE7 questions should be posted to the Internet Explorer General Newsgroup.

Thank you. I had a similar problem opening "Forward as Attachment" e-mails
from my friends with Yahoo and AOL. The problem occurred after I installed
Mozilla Thunderbird - then didn't like it and tried to return to OE.

I followed your directions, only chose "EML" as the extension, then clicked
on the "Default" button to restore the EML files to the default application
(OE).

That is an entirely different, unrelated problem.
