If the link doesn't work by just clicking it, try clicking it while holding down the CTRL key. Often this works.

Generally speaking though, it's probably a lot easier to just hit enter on the link in question. Regarding your second question, it depends on whether or not the link is properly encoded, or interpreted by your mail client. If it's in a text only email, your mail client may or may not register it as a clickable link.

Whenever I try to double click on a link I'm not able to go to it. I hear a sound that takes me back into either my Inbox or another folder that is in my personal folder. Could you tell me what I might have done to cause such a thing. Thanks. How is it that sometimes when someone pastes a link into an e-mail that you can press enter and it opens that link which takes you to the web page, and than there are other times when it just makes a noise but you can't get to the link without having to copy and paste it into Internet Explorer?
