All of a sudden my links are not working in the e-mail's I am receiving.
For instance if I receive an email with a website listed in it - when I
click on it nothing happens.

Suggestions anyone?

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,

I, too, am having this same problem. I went in and checked that the
URL:HyperText fields were filled in correctly under file types; still no
joy. Then I unchecked the Use DDE box, and this worked. However, I cannot
get the change to "stick". When I reboot the machine and recheck, the Use
DDE box is checked. All this started happening after I downloaded a copy of
the Mozilla/Firefox web browser. I tried Firefox for a while, didn't like
it, and went into Control Panel and removed it. Every since the subject
line problems have been occurring. Also, on reboot, when opening IE, a box
pops up and says that IE is not my default browser. Please advise---

Please start your own new thread in the future, thank you.

Unchecking Use DDE will become checked again, but it is the act of
unchecking it once that often fixes the problem. If you can click on links
OK now, don't worry about it.

Make OE the default e-mail client:
http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

For links in e-mail:
http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx

And:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see:
