Emails with Links not being delivered

[tdwan]

I have a problem that when I attach a link with an internet address in an
email, the email does not get delivered - I've even sent one to myself and
something in Outlook is blocking it...is there a security setting I can
change? I am running Norton, but totally uninstalled it and the problem
remained. Help!

In a decade, you haven't heard about the security update to Outlook (way
back in version 2000) that blocks unsafe filetypes that are attached?
The .url filetype is included (see the 1st article below for a list).

Don't attach a .url filetype. Instead just put the string for the URL
in the body of your e-mail.
