Well without knowing anything about developing, its a piece of code that
launches a new shell of the browser with the URL as command line (or
something similar). Previous versions of Outlook always hijacked an open
browser window but as stated it was a feature request that a link would open
its own browser.

Yes but it was clicking a link in Outlook that caused a new IE window to
launch, and AFAIK this feature was added to Outlook 2003.

But it's an *IE* setting.........

I think you've totally misread the OP! The OP was complaining that every
link clicked in an email opened a NEW IE window. The answer is to change
the settings in IE-Internet Options-Advanced!

Gordon are you using Outlook 2003, if so I suggest you try your own advice
and see what happens, because checking that box has no effect if you are
using Outlook 2003. This may however be academic if the OP isn't using
Outlook 2003.

Actually, my question here IS a suggestion for Microsoft to make a fix to
this problem. It is not resolved by clicking the box "reuse windows". Tech
support at MS told me I should write this problem up as a suggestion so in
future a patch or fix may be offered.
