SYMPTOMS
In a new e-mail message, if you click File on the Insert menu, and then type an Internet address in the File Name box, you will receive the following message:

You cannot use an Internet address here. Enter a path that points to a location on your computer or on the network.



CAUSE
The File command on the Insert menu, does not support using Internet addresses, such as those using FTP or HTTP.



RESOLUTION
