Whenever I get an email message that contains a hyperlink, the link is
underlined and OE seems to know that it is a link. However, nothing happens when I click on the link. I can copy the link and paste it into the address bar of IE or Firefox, and that works fine. But I'd like to be able to click on the link in the email message and open the page directly. What's broken that this doesn't work? Thanks for your help! Dan |

For 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. Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867 If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7: 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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Dan" wrote in message ...

Thanks Bruce, unchecking DDE in both cases worked.
