Hi!
1. I create text that I wish to format as a hyperlink in Outlook
2. Text has the following form: THIS IS A HYPERLINK
3. I select the text and then select Insert --> Hyperlink
4. Outlook provides the Insert Hyperlink dialog box
5. I enter "http://abc?abcData=1234567890
6. I click "OK"
7. The text is formatted as a hyperlink, complete with blue line
8. When the mouse hovers over the link, I see the following:
http://abc/?abcData=1234567890
Ctrl + click to follow link
9. This is not what I entered. Outlook has replaced the '?' with '/?' and
this will destroy the actual hyperlink when used in a browser.
I am looking for someone to
(a) explain why this happens
(b) explain how to get Outlook to stop doing this (since it seems rather,
well, not particularly intelligent to arbitrarily replace ? with /?)
Cheers,
karl
