Control-click Required
 

Can I get one of you smart people out there to verify something for me?

In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, a Control-Click is required to follow a
URL in a mail message. Is this a new feature in Outlook 2003? And is there
any way to disable it?

I know that you can disable this feature in Word (Tools | Options | Edit)
but is it controllable in Outlook?

Thanks in advance for your wise info.

I think it depends on whether (a) WordMail is the editor and (b) you're looking at a message being composed or a received message. The feature you're seeing is indeed the WordMail feature, so the setting in Word should govern the behavior in messages.

Thank you. If you've received a message, that setting is goverened by
WordMail, as well? So are these following scenarios true?

#1
Word is my email editor.
I compose an email with a link.
I am required to use CTRL+Click

#2
Word is my email editor.
I receive an email with a link.
I am required to use CTRL+Click

#3
Word is not my email editor.
I compose an email with a link.
I am not required to use CTRL+Click

#4
Word is not my email editor.
I receive an email with a link.
I am not required to use CTRL+Click

Thanks for the quick reply! :)
