Outlook 2003 opens new browser window for each link...

[David Wexelblat]

I've just gotten a new machine, and installed Office 2003 on this one.
This is a virgin install - no upgrade, no carried-forward settings,
etc. When I read mail in Outlook 2003, and click on a link in either a
mail-read window or in the Reading Pane, a new IE window is created
for each link. I don't want this; I want it to reuse the browser
window, like it used to do in Outlook 97/2000/XP.

I have verified that IE is set to reuse windows, and that IE does
indeed reuse windows when I open desktop shortcuts, etc.

I can't find any Outlook 2003 option to control this. Didn't find
anything in the MS KB, either.

Suggestions, anyone?

Apparently this behaviour was changed to open in a new window because of
user request and it isn't configurable
