Why would you want active content in mail? How do you think many viruses
propagate. Active content is one of the worst things ever to be added to
mail.

Thank you for the response, I do understand what you are saying. What I was
trying to do was include a hyperlink in my address line to my web site. Once
I set this up I started receiving the ActiveX notification. Is there a way to
add a hyperlink without activating ActiveX or is that just the maner in which
a hyperlink functions?

Since I always use Plain Text and simply include any URLs as ordinary text
(which the recipients clients usually make active), I can't answer. How do
you add the link? Do you use Insert or simply type the URL?

From Outlook, Tools, mail format, signatures, edit, then advanced edit which
opens Word. In Word after typing my signature line, I click on insert
hyperlink, another dialog box opens where I type the URL for the part of my
signature line I want as a hyperlink, click OK, then save for the Word
document, and OK my way out of the signature path.
If there is an easier and better way I would like to hear, but this is how
the Microsoft tutorial instructs how to insert a hyperlink.

And what happens if you simply type in the URL?
