When reading emails, I can no longer double click on a link and see the web
page that the email is providing a link to.
When I double click on a link to a web page that is in an email message,
Internet Explorer starts up, then shows an empty page, with the words
"about:blank" in the URL.
If internet explorer is already running, an empty page comes up, with
"outbind:/2-00....." in IE's URL.
This used to work properly, so I can't blame it on improperly formatted
incoming emails.
I've done a "view source" on one of the problem emails, and on an email
where the embedded links work. On an email where the link works, the source
contains:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com" target="new" >www.mysite.com</a>
In an email where the links do not work, the source is <a href= ""
www.mysite.com</a>
It's conspicuous that it works only when the href contains a full URL.
This used to work before the machine went off for "service".
It's Outlook 2000, IE 6, and WinXP svc pack 2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
