defabghtml_href in HTML attachments

[jeremy]

Hi can anyone tell me why Outlook (2003) sometimes chooses to alter
attached HTML files (i.e. not displayed inline) to alter references e.g.
to stylesheets by changing e.g. the href= to defanghtml_href=

How does Outlook decide whether to do this? It does not do it to all
HTML attachments.

Outlook doesn't do this - its your antivirus or antispam scanner, either
installed locally or on the mail server. A firewall that also supports
antivirus and antispam techniques might also do it.

Hmm... I understand what you're saying. I wonder why it allows some HTML
attachments through without alteration but not others? And yes I can see
this is a question for the firewall/antispam/antivirus experts

It's no different than why some good mail gets marked as spam. There is
something in the affected attachments that triggers it - words or links are
detected that seem to indicate it could be associated with a virus or spam.
If the server is doing it, rather than a client side addin, then the
messages are getting into the mailbox using different routes and the one
route does not use the application that is causing it.
