Jim: The link I discovered was in addition to the visible one. It was right at the end of the message.
However, I didn't experience the problem you did. First, I read almost all messages in the Outlook 2000 preview window. Second, after reading your comment, I double clicked on the subject header of John's message to open the message in its own window. In neither case, did I get an automatically-opened link. I knew there was at least one reason I like MS Outlook.
