Apologies for posting this in this forum - but I really need to resolve this and don't know where to post this question - any suggestions or pointers to any other question/message boards would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sending an html formatted email (Perl generated) which is being read in Outlook. It contains a link to a Windows network drive in the format: <a href="file://NetworkSharedDriveName/path/path1/.../file.gif">Image file</a> (To stress: please note that this is a file on a shared drive - not a http link) However, Outlook fails to recognize that as a valid URL. If I type the exact same link into IE (the "file://..." piece), it recognizes it & pulls up the image file. What gives? How can I get Outlook to recognize a file on a shared drive as a hyperlinked pointer? [Outlook has no problems recognizing straightforward http://... links within the same message.] Thanks, -Nilanjan _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
