HTML links stripped when received

C

Chandler Chao

Ok, I'm really baffled with this problem. When email is sent from our
company a short html file is appended to the email that contains for html
links to websites. When outlook 2003 receives said email the links are
stripped of the characters "h, thereby making the links non-functional. A
link done in the signature won't be stripped though, it is only in the part
that is appended. Moreover it only seems to be with Outlook clients. Other
email clients read the email fine. Also, there are no firewalls and such on
the clients end, just the Outlook client.

Here is the html code from one of the emails. Notice that the last four
links are the ones affected. I realize that the <html> and <head> tags close
prematurely, however I've tried surrounding the links with a duplicate set of
<html><head><body> tags with all the meta information and the links still get
stripped.

Thanks in advance

The missing quotes are not a typo. The quote and the h actually get stripped
from the mail message.

are the missing and incorrect quotes a typo?

There is no type. Outlook actually strips the quote and the h.
