Send link to a website in Outlook 2002 SP3

[Paul Kraemer]

Hi,

I am using Outlook 2002 SP3 on Windows XP Home with Internet Explorer 6. If
I am looking at a website in Internet Explorer and I want to email a link to
a friend, I go to the File menu and choose "Send link by email". This causes
outlook to create an email with a link to the website. When I enter the
email address to which I want to send the link and click "Send", the email
goes into my Outbox but it does not get sent. Outlook displays a message
saying "This message has not been sent. Outlook blocked access to the
following unsafe attachments: website.url."

Is there any way I can configure outlook to allow sending links such as these?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

ANother way to go would be to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 which will
plcae a text link into the body of the message instead of attaching an
url-attachment.
