I receive all email links with a blocked in front of it. How can

All emails received if they contain links are always preceded by the word
blocked. This is very bad especially when the link is in form of a pic file.
I need help resolving this issue. Thanks

Sounds like that's some sort of third-party software doing that - Outlook
doesn't do that natively.

Perhaps the e-mail is in your Junk folder where links get disabled because
they're unlikely to be safe considering why the e-mail got junked. Have you
tried moving the e-mail out of the Junk folder and into another email-type
folder (Inbox or another email folder you create).

Or perhaps the sender pasted the link from somewhere else rather than enter
their own hyperlink text. Try the following:

- Copy the URL string from the e-mail and paste into the address bar in
the web browser and edit out the "blocked:" prefix.

- See if viewing the HTML-formatted e-mail in the Internet security zone
eliminates the problem (View -> View in Internet Zone).
*WARNING: Be aware that you will be viewing that HTML-formatted e-mail
with far less restrictions which means you are more
vulnerable to its content.
