Cannot open the URL's that come in a message

[Jean Larson]

My friend is using Outlook Express as her email reader. All of a sudden
she cannot open the URL's that come in a message to her. The ones that
are highlighted in purple, such as http://www.google.com.

It worked until recently. Do you know of anything that could have
changed in the last week or so?

Hi Carrie,

Thank you so much for answering my post. I will send the information on
to my friend.

I apologize for sending the question to this newsgroup. I thought I was
sending it to the Outlook Express group and I must have clicked this one
by accident. I only found it after I searched for my posting in the
Outlook group and it wasn't there so I went back and checked my email
and found I sent it to the wrong group.

Thanks for taking your time and helping me anyway.

Jean
