Hyperlinks display limit in plain text mail? Or bug?

D

David Howell

If a plain text email contains a large number of hyperlinks, after a
certain point they will no longer be rendered as clickable when viewed
in Outlook.

It would appear that the rendering stops after about 50k of text, but
only if they are separated by newlines. If the mail body contains a
large number of links separated by spaces or other characters, then all
of the links are clickable.

I am using Outlook 2007. If I view the email in the Outlook Web Access
(OWA) client, the hyperlinks always render correctly. That tells me this
is a bug in the Outlook client. It could be as-designed to prevent
performance issues, but it works in OWA.


Anyone know if this is a known bug? I've only seen (via Google search)
one other reference to this. See -

How might I report this to Microsoft? http://connect.microsoft.com/ does
not cover Outlook.
