I began having the same problem in April. I'm running Office 2003 SP3,
and
Windows XP. It is only occurring in emails that are in HTML, including
every
email that I send since I was configured to send in HTML. My fix was to
send
and view only in plain text. Obviously this is not REALLY a solution,
only a
duct tape fix. Businesses will be impacted if they can't send HTML. I'm
much less likely to read plain text without the pretty pictures

This is not an isolated problem with Outlook 2007. My Outlook 2003 has
the
"blockedhttp:....." problem also.
The problem existed:
1. Before installation of IE8, so IE8 cannot be blamed.
2. After an automatic update in April 2009.
3. Has occurred on both XP and Vista machines running Outlook 2003.
We need to start a generic thread on "Blocked Hyperlinks in Outlook" to
better capture the entire community. I am starting one after this note.
In
addition, after the problems I experienced with Vista, and now these
ongoing
issues, I am considering, for the first time, completely moving away from
Microsoft products.
If anyone from Microsoft is reading -- you have a BIG PROBLEM here with
this
issue, as it is affecting BUSINESS and PRODUCTIVITY and there will be
future
sales impacted by issues such as this.
Eventually, the people grab pitchforks and light the torches...

I have always been able to use hyperlinks in emails with Outlook 2007.
After
a recent Windows automatic update, I can't use hyperlinks. When I
click on a
link in an email I get a Microsoft Office Outlook Security Notice with
the
message "Microsoft Office has detected a potential security concern.
This
location may be unsafe". It continues with the web address, and it
puts the
word "blocked" in front of the hyperlink. It gives me the option of
"Do you
want to continue?". When I select "Yes", I get a Microsoft Office
Outlook
popup window that says "Access is denied".
I have verified that I have all the latest patches (KB941275), I have
reset
IE to default settings, I have checked all security settings in
Outlook, but
nothing works. How can I fix this?
