outlook is overriding both the ALT and TITLE attributes

[Barun Pandit]

Hi ,
I Sent a HTML eamil to outlook . In this email there is a link which points
to some web page.
Now I observed that outlook is overriding both the ALT and TITLE attributes
of the link and show the URL of the link instead.

Is this supposed to happen with outlook?

please help me out giving me reply ASAP.

code snippet is like this:
<a style="color:blue;" target="_blank" title="Come back to Google(opens in a
new window)" href="http://www.Google.co.uk.com/">Come back to Google</a>

So when I am putting the cursor upon the anchor tag I am getting the whole
URL like "http://www.Google.co.uk.com/" instead of
"Come back to Google(opens in a new window)"

Thanks
regards

Sounds correct to me, assuming you're using Outlook 2003 or 2007. It's an
antiphishing feature so that you know where the link actually points. The
tooltip that pops up is not a response to the Alt value.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you please tell me how i will get some information on this as a
document
(from Microsoft). I mean to say genuine document to support that it is the
feature of the Outlook2003 or 2007
