As soon as I got all the resent up-dates from MS last week, my Outlook
Express 6 hyper-links that folks send me quit working.
Everyone must have the same issue.... what fixed it??

Note: I can forward the email to (say) hotmail and the links work fine.

Running XP pro, 1gig ram and lot's of space.

Are you running IE7 beta? This apparently is an issue with that beta
program installed. If you are, do a Google Groups Advanced Search in
the IE7 beta newsgroup: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general and
use the search term "Outlook Express can't open hyperlinks". Or post in
that newsgroup.
