Hello,

I'm new to this forum and I've been having trouble with forwarded messages.
What I want to do is have the HTML links work in a forwarded message. Could
one of you please tell me how to fix this problem. I've looked through the
Outlook help and have not been able to find it.

I receive job postings from a site called indeed.com. The email I receive
from them has a link imbedded into the job title, so I can click on that link
and it brings up an Internet Explorer page of that job posting. However when
I try to forward that message to our Job Seekers, those same links no longer
work.

Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thank you !!

Diane,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am using Outlook 2003. I'm
pretty sure that the phishing filters are not turned on.

What happens is this. I receive the email of job posting, and if I click on
the job title, than an IE window opens and it displays that job posting from
where ever the source may be. I want this feature to be included in the
email that I forward to our job seekers. However, when I click on forward, I
do see the job postings, but if I hover the cursor over the job title, it
doesn't let me click on it to go to that web site.

In the original email, when I hover over the job title a micohelp box pops
up and shows me the full URL, however that URL is preceded by the word
"Blocked: ", but I can still click on it and it will take me to that page in
IE.

I'm confused, and I hope I haven't confused you by my explanation. If I
have, I'll try to make it better next time.

Thanks again for your help so far!!

Ron

Ah, the infamous Blocked:: problem. See
http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/blocked.htm -something in your settings is
deemed insecure by outlook so it blocked the urls.

Diane,

That was it !! I did look at that setting initially, but since it referred
to picture downloads, I passed that by.

Thanks again for your help.

Diane,
This didn't work for me. I have one added dilemma in this.

I upgraded to IE8 and it completely slowed down my system Outlook kept
crashing and any website I went to, IE kept crashing.

So I uninstalled it and went back to IE7 and now none of the links in
Outlook work.

What I continue to get when I try a link (and yes, the pictures are coming)
is: "Windows cannot open this file: To open this file, Windows needs to know
what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically,
or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer. What do
you want to do? A. Use the Web service to find the appropriate program or B.
Select the program from a list.

Neither option works, the first one won't take me to the web and B--there
isn't a program from the list.

Please Advise,

Desperate to have my computer running so I stop wasting time with this...DAY 2

the error isn't the same, the solution should address your problem as well.
