Post by: sobranie on Jul 20, 2014, 13:32:15
highlighted links sent to a friends computer not being highlighted in blue (he's on outlook express).
Settings on his OE appreciated please.

Use something thats currently supported? OE stopped being updated when IE 6 was superseded and with XP has been dropped from support,  its so old now it may just not be up to the job.

OE may be out of date, but I don't see why links shouldn't still work.  Have a look here:

Sounds stupid, but make sure it is actually being sent as a hyperlink in the first place. I've seen situations before where the blue underlined formatting is retained, but the hyperlink itself has been stripped out.

Can't really sort things out until the weekend when I visit him.
