My employer uses Exchange and Outlook for email. Different departments send
out communications all prettied up in HTML formats, saying things like click
HERE for more information. Clicking the hyperlink then brings up a browser
with the intranet web page containing more news, or the application, or
whatever.
Problem is, especially in IT, we're running more and more applications and
tools that run in a browser. I at any given time will have about five
browsers open, each with one of the tools I use. But when reading these HTML
emails, and clicking the link, it grabs one of the browsers and overwrites it
with the linked page. Now I've got to go back and retrieve what I was doing.
Sometimes it's no big deal, just click the back button. Other times, the
stupid app will want to refresh and put me somewhere where I wasn't. I
ignore the fluff HTML emails, but some I can't.
I suggested to the folks generating these emails to use target="_blank" in
their hyperlink, but they tried it and said it doesn't work. I tried it
myself and they're right!
Is there a way to make an HTML email in Outlook behave like HTML is supposed
to ? Or is there some workaround ?
