    My wife is using WLM as her email client on Windows Home Premium 64 bit. When someone sends her certain emails with links in them, they do not highlight as normal, and she can not open them. Other times, it works like normal. I have her options checked to receive HTML messages. Any idea what the problem coiuld be?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    They aren't being sent right. I have had this happen in every version of Windows including 7. Only thing that you can do is copy and paste. If I forward the e-mail, I will copy and paste the link into the new e-mail.

    So, it's a windows 7 thing that can't be corrected?? I had Windows 7 on another laptop, and it wasn't a problem. I used Outlook on it instead of Windows Live Mail. Is it possbily a Windows Live Mail probem. Is there no fix?

    Read my post again. I have had this happen in 98, 98SE, ME, 2K, XP Home and Pro, Vista, Windows 7 Ultimate and Pro. I didn't say it was a WLM problem. Sometimes something gets lost in the sending of the e-mail even though the link looks good. Have had it happen in OE and Outlook before. Different versions of OE and also Outlook. I have sent links that I have copy and pasted before to people and they would reply back that it was a bad link and it would show as a bad link back to me also and I know it was good when sent. This has happened in OE, Outlook and WLM.
