MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / January 2008Email Links open share LAN Mydocuments folder
I have an client with a strange problem. If he sends an email (outlook 2003 with all updates installed) that has a web link (std www.***.com) and the recipient (someone on his lan) replies to the message and when he receives the reply and clicks on the same web link it opens the shared My Documents folder on the senders PC. The original message opens the web page when the link is clicked.  SignatureMarc H. Seidler The Computer Doctors www.computerdoctors.net marcseidler@hotmail.com seidler@computerdoctors.net 410-840-3434 What happens when the original recipient clicks on the link in the original message? Can you view the HTML source of the message and see what it shows the link pointing to now? Signature-Ben- Ben M.

I have now talked to a few who say if mail is sent as HTML the reply comes back as text and the code is strange with a message that extra line breaks have been removed and it will not convert back to HTML. The 2nd person says if they click a link it opens Explorer. Very strange and considering it opens the senders shared Document folder I am very concerned about security. > It takes you to the web site. > I will be going to the client this morning to check it out.

Additional Info Client's Outlook 2003 was set to Text Only mail. When I changed it back to HTML problem went away. This is quite disconcerting as access to shared folders inadvertently cannot be good from a security or privacy standpoint. >I have now talked to a few who say if mail is sent as HTML the reply comes >back as text and the code is strange with a message that extra line breaks [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>>> shared My Documents folder on the senders PC.
