Inserting hyperlinks

[Des]

Hi, I need some help inserting hyperlinks into outlook 2002.
When I try to put one into a message, outlook inserts the titleof the link,
and the link too. This confuses the browser when it tries to open the link,
so it can't open the target.
Anyone got any ideas?

Because secure versions of Outlook block shortcut files, I recommend that you use a little free add-in for Internet Explorer when you want to send someone a link to a page. You can get MailTo_URL from http://www.slipstick.com/addins/gallery/index.htm#mailto. It adds an "Email Page" command to the right-click menu in IE and uses the title of the page for the subject of the mail message.

Make sure that the registry entry you create to tell IE where to find the application matches the location where you save the program.

Hi thanks for the tip, unfortunately I followed the instuctions as well as I
could, but when selecting "email page" from the right click menu in IE6,
nothing happened. It didn't bring Outlook up.
If it's any help, I already had the atachment add in installed.
