This is a case of the "Locate Link Browser" problem, but it is
specific to emails received with URL's that contain Outbind in the
address.
I have been getting emails from AZFamily's website, AZFamily,com for
several months. Since I switched to a new PC,whenever I click on their
links to news stories, I get the "Locate Link Browser" dialog instead
of the news story.
I do not get the "Locate Link Browser" message for any other links
within emails, nor do I have this problem when I use the browser
itself. I have applied the usual fixes from Microsoft and/or using the
Registry fix available on the web that works when you get this message
due to a Firefox upgrade.
This is more specific than those situations. When I drift my mouse
over the link, the URL starts with "outbind://123456789.../ " appended
to the actual source code. This outbind part does not exist in the
source code itself, so I assume it has to do with the way Outlook is
dealing with the link. Not only that, when I forward this email to my
wife's PC, it comes up without the outbind part appended at the
beginning....and it works. So what is Outlook doing to make this issue
happen...or is it an issue with the browsers?
No other emails have this outbind thingy, and no other emails have
this problem. And I get this whether or not the default browser is IE
or FIrefox..
Example:
href="http://www.azfamily.com/perl/common/apredir.pl?
SECTION=ENTERTAINMENTHEADS&link=http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/
stories/P/PEOPLE_SPEARS?"><span
style='text-decoration:none'>Report: Spears released from
hospital</span
becomes:
outbind://12341235434/href="http://www.azfamily.com/perl/common...osted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/PEOPLE_SPEARS?"><span
style='text-decoration:none'>Report: Spears released from
hospital</span
I have Outlook 2003, with SP2, on Win XP SP2 using IE7 and FIrefox
2.0.11.
Thanks for any help,
