Outlook 2002 has a rather annoying behavior when I click onto a URL in a
mail:
First, this obviously blocks Outlook until it has started or forked of
Internet Explorer. Can one change that, i.e. that it starts IE in
another thread, so one can continue operating Outlook, and e.g. advance
to the next mail?
Second, starting IE from within Outlook takes FOREVER! Normally, when
start IE directly it is up and ready to accept a URL within 2 seconds.
When it is started via Outlook it easily takes up to 30 seconds until
the window appears and its status field then says "connecting..." for
another 10-30 seconds until the page is finally downloaded and
displayed. I.e. the entire process from clicking onto a URL until the
page is finally displayed and viewable easily take 30-60 seconds.
It is much faster to display the source of an HTML-mail, locate the URL,
copy it, start IE directly and paste the URL into the address field.
But - I mean, pardon me - but this can't be it, can it? Any idea, what
could cause these delays? What program might interfere here? Any idea
how to analyze or debug this to locate the culprit?
