This problem sounds like you have a company firewall that is rewriting the messages. I am "this close" (shows very small space between fingers) to implementing this kind of link blocking via IM for my company. Over the past few months, there have been many viruses spreading via links in IM messages. I would try using the same computer on a network not controlled by that organization to verify. --lonnie
