Blocked links in Outlook 2007

[mpapier]

We had an internal sender copy and paste a list of links from a web site into an email message and send it to other internal recipients. When the recipients attempt to click on one of the links, it is blocked. If you hover over the link, it displays as "blocked::

http://www.website.com/blah.html"

Other links sent in other messages (even if copied and pasted from a web site) work fine and can be clicked without getting blocked. Any ideas what may cause this in specific messages but not all messages?

Thanks!

Hosts File on the server maybe

Thats not. Anyone else with an idea?

"blocked::

it has to be your network admin

Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!

Can this same site be sent and clicked if sent by itself?

The answer is "42"

 

[mpapier]

Yes. But so can the direct links this one user sent, if sent in another email. It am thinking it was something she did preparing the email...

Its a known problem with OUTLOOK. Outlook security does not allow you to copy an url from one email to another.
