Anchor tag/link problem

[John]

Hi,

Whenever I receive an email in outlook that contains internal anchors, the
links to them do not work.

When i say anchor, i mean:
<a id="myTag">Anchor Tag</a>

with a link:

<a href="#myTag">Link to my anchor tag</a>

Also, when I hover over the link, the alt text displays:
"outbound://37/#myTag"

Any ideas? Can alt tags just not be used in outlook-received html emails?

Thanks!

For what version of Outlook? Created with Word as the e-mail editor I
assume? This should work. Of course the mail must be long enough to actually
be able to scroll to the location where it points to.

Thanks for the response.

It happens with both XP and 2003. The emails are actually generated by .NET
console application but I've verified that valid HTML is being generated.
