Hello Chris, apologies for the delay.
We've had an investigation and what we've found is that links which 'hide' behind text no longer work. So, a link which appears in the body text as, say, "http://www.somesite.com"; or "[email protected]" or in fact the from/to/cc bit at the top of the forwarded email all work fine. What does NOT work is when the URL is associated with some text, so when the original documents had the text of "50 great things to do" or "our new tea rooms" underlined as they were links, then clicking in the email would take me to the web site. When my partner receives the forwarded email with those links the text "50 great things" is underlined, but otherwise it behaves exactly as normal text whether clicked or right-clicked, there is no difference. Thanks for any light which you can shed on this behaviour. As most of the useful links are 'hidden' like this, it makes the forwarded email mostly useless. :( Regards, Stephen On 29 Aug 2012, at 19:11, Chris Webb <[email protected]> wrote: > > Stephen, > > What happens if they ctrl-click or right-click on them? > > Chris Webb .
