Hoping that someone can help with this.

I regularly receive an email which includes an embedded hyperlink which when
clicked is supposed to generate an automatic email response with the subject
line filled in with a predetermined code.

Everything used to work fine but recently something changed (I don't know
what) but now when I click the hyperlink - 44, yes, I counted them, 44
Internet Explorer windows open. It happens every time - 44 browser windows!

As far as I can tell, I don't have any other weird behaviour on my computer.
I ran an Outlook detect and repair and still 44 IE browser windows open when
I click the embedded link.

Below is the relevant source code from the embedded hyperlink:

Thanks for any help.

I notice that even if I click the link I provided in my original message in
Outlook Express (my news reader) - I get 44 browser windows. It's cool, but
kind of annoying :)

Well, I fixed it - I have no idea why...

In internet Explorer, I set my default mail client to OE. I then verified
that it worked, then I set the default client back to Outlook and now
everything works again. Go figure!
