Outlook is an e-mail client, not a web browser. Not everything that can
be rendered by a web browser will be rendered by e-mail clients that
support HTML-formatted e-mails. No one wants their e-mails to become
web sites.

In Outlook, the default is to use the Restricted Sites security zone
under which to render HTML-formatted e-mails. Other e-mail clients have
their own security suite of settings that will disable the nasties in
HTML-formatted e-mails, like scripting (and which would include
ActiveX). Do YOU really want someone controlling your host via scripts
contained in e-mails that they send to you, especially since a portion
of your e-mails come from unknown or untrusted senders? Maybe you do
but not the rest of us.

Even if you change the security zone under which you render
HTML-formatted e-mails, no one else is going to so do. So stop trying
to turn your e-mails into web pages. If you want your recipients to see
the full features of a web site then put a URL to your web site in your
e-mails.
