Hi Group,
Whenever I try to send a link to a site to a collegue I get the folowing
message
"This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:


This message has been rejected because it has
a potentially executable attachment "report.url"
This form of attachment has been used by
recent viruses or other malware.
If you meant to send this file then please
package it up as a zip file and resend it."

I know these links are clean yet I am prevented from sending them.
Are there some settings I need to change or have I lost the abaility to send
info by link?
Is this caused by my machine or my server?

Please can anyone advise
Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply sensibly.

David.

Heard you the first time.

Repost

This message is coming from either your ISP, or your colleagues, not OE. If
it only happens with this recipient, I suspect the latter.

How are you sending the link? If you copy it and paste it in a new message,
does that work?

If you send yourself such message (with a URL attachment), do you see the
same thing?
