SYMPTOMS
When you send a link in a message by using the Send a Link by E-mail feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) attachment or link is included with the message in Microsoft Outlook. However, Outlook blocks the user from accessing the URL attachment or link in the message.

Outlook sends the attached URL and includes the text of the URL address in the message body. Alternatively, Outlook blocks the attached URL and includes the text of the URL in the message body.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create a new message in Outlook and type the address of the URL in the message body.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
