Thanks Amro, that clears the air.  I will keep trying to sort it out.

Cheers

Hi Ron,

For what it worth, on here, there's only a plaintext checkbox in options>red 
page. In the view menu HTML is not available either. So it's just like what you 
report on your system except clicking links works fine over here.

Sorry I missed the beginning of this thread but you are talking OE here right? 
And you can't click links in all received messages?

Sorry I don't have much help to offer but thought I'd clear the issue of the 
HTML view option and the plaintext checkbox. in the red page.

Amro

  Hi Vivien, in the read tab under tools plain text is not checked.  I assumed 
  from that it should be in HTML.  There is no mention of html in the options 
but 
  I am sure there should be.  The O E menus under tools doesn't look right.  In 
  the view menu it says that html is unavailable.

  Thanks

  Ron

  Hi John, Ron and list,

  I'm wondering, perhaps the Read or Send tabs within Options (under the Tools
  menu) need to be looked at to see if that's set to HTML or plain text?

  Regards
  Vivien
