Are you reading your messages in plain text on the laptop? I believe you must have the read all messages in plain text unchecked in order to open a link. If you have plain text checked in tools/options and the read page, you are only able to read a message but not able to interact with it. So, make sure "read all messages in plain text" is not checked. There is evidentaly a command to undo this command for a given message of which I have a copy but it does not appear to work as posted. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
