Title: Links not working
Post by: FDDIMan on April 19, 2003, 10:44 hrs
There is someone that I know that is having a problem with the links working in OE6. When the e-mail is sent to her with a link in it the link wont work. You can still click on it like a link and is still colored like a link but wont go to the site.

Are you sure there's no period or comma being included at the end of it?

There is no comma or periods at the end of the links. The only way I can get them to open is to save the taget to the HDD and go from there but this a huge hassle to this everytime. Could this have something to do with the mail format? If so can how can I change this?

Thanks for the help. I fixed this by going to the Internet Properties, program tabs and just hit the reset web settings button. This solved the problem but I didn't see anything that it changed so I still don't know why it happened.
