How do I get links in email to pop in an existing browser

In Outlook 2003, when I click a link in an email it pops a new browser every
time. How do I get it to just use an existing browser that's already open?
 
I don't think you can. Believe it or not, using a new browser window each
time was a customer-requested feature, so it was added to Outlook 2003...now
we're hearing from the other half. :-)

That's a bummer. It would be nice if there was a setting where the user could
choose. Thanks for your reply, Jocelyn!

Yes, it would be nice...sometimes giving users a choice is more complicated
for the programmers than it might seem from our end (lots more testing has to
be done, for example), so that might be the case here. Feel free to leave a
suggestion with Microsoft via the Communtiy Newsgroups interface -- if more
people hate it the way it is now than hate the way it was before, they may
eventually change it back.
