How to send attached urls?

[pooh]

Have been in the habit of sending urls by using 'mail to' from IE. No
problem at all doing this in OE, but O, very irritatingly blocks them, and
there seems to be no way I can find to take 'URL' off the blocked list -
despite a pop up that says 'send anyway' and then does not let me send!
Files remain unitalicised in the outbox, until the message with the url
plainly in view, has been copied to a new mail and sent again.

The attachment is presumably still there even when there is no pane given
from which one can delete it: unlike in OE, where one sees it plainly in the
attachment pane and can delete it or not as one thinks fit. Is this just O
being plain silly, or is there a hidden setting somewhere where this can be
put right?

Spect loads of people have asked this, but answer does not immediately
spring from a search of headers so appols if I am being dumb.

Cheers,

outlook does let you send it - the message is poorly worded. Yes, you can
get at it to delete it -

Thanks very much for the tips Diane:

They seem mainly to deal with problems in opening attachments whereas our
problem is mostly with being denied the facility of sending them. Does this
mean that the security for opening attachments is inseparable from that for
sending them, or is there another way to allow the send but still deny/or
warn against opening?

Also, where are the attachments 'attached' when there is no attachment panel
but O is still denying us the right to send them? (It might help if there
was a view source code tab, like the one we have in OE, but I can't find one
in O.)

Cheers,

it's attachment security period - whether sending or receiving - but most
people are more affected by the inability to receive them.

outlook doesn't have a view source tab - the attachment is stored in the
message, same as with any other attachment, but access to it is denied.

Another good reason for me sticking with OE, while 'Pooh' struggles on with
O.

Hi Dianne,

Looked at your 'getexe' link instructions and, as a result tried adding the
suggested 'Level1Remove' line in the registry under
Office\10\Outlook\Security. Tried adding the value 'url' with and without
a preceding dot: Outlook still denies me the right to send links from 'send
to' in IE.

?

Thanks anyway,

P.

Restart Outlook and if it still fails, you didn't do it right - try
attachment options from slovaktech.com so the registry entry is created
correctly.

More info:

Interestingly, on 'my side' of the pc where I don't normally use Outlook, I
now find that links attempted to be made via 'mail to' in IE, do appear in
an attachment window in O as they do in OE. The message that I get above
this is simply that it has not been sent, whereas the other user gets a much
longer message with the reasons for refusal.

Looks more promising than the other user's version, but still it is not sent
even after deleting the attachment from within its window as I do with OE.

Why the programme behaves differently for each user I do not know.

I will have a look into slovatech when I get a bit more time, and let you
know.

Cheers.

each version of outlook and IE uses different text in the body to explain
what is going on. But, regardless of what outlook says, the attachment is
just blocked from access - it can still be sent.
