Hyperlinks in email

[Guest]

When reading an email message in Outlook, I would like to be able to right
click on hyperlinks in the mail message and add them to my favourites
directly. At the moment I need to click on the link to start IE and then add
it to my favourites.

I have a folder in my favourites called "~Check Out Later" which I add these
new entries too. This means I can read all of my mail through and then when I
have spare time later I can go back through these favourites to see if there
is anything of value. Being forced to open IE defeats the purpose of delaying
this until later.

What version of Outlook are you suing?
Drag and drop worked in some earlier versions.

Hi Bill,

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP 1.

Drag and drop doesn't seem to work, rather it just highlights the text.
Which I think is the behaviour I would expect. Right clicking makes more
sense than dragging it to my favourites folder.

Thanks,

Leon

No, it doesn't work with Outlook 2003.
