Sending a URL from IE blocked by Outlook

[boe]

When I click File Send link within IE the new version of Outlook blocks it
as potentially unsafe. How do I enable this feature?

No, it doesn't -- read the warning message more carefully. You can send all
the .url files you want. But you can't count on the recipient being able to
open it. Because secure versions of Outlook block shortcut files, I
recommend that you use a little free add-in for Internet Explorer when you
want to send someone a link to a page. You can get MailTo_URL from
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/gallery/index.htm#mailto. It adds an "Email
Page" command to the right-click menu in IE and uses the title of the page
for the subject of the mail message.

Make sure that the registry entry you create to tell IE where to find the
application matches the location where you save the program.

Can you give me some more help. I tried the mailto_url program and for some
reason when I click on the web page and mail the link, it doesn't include my
signature which comes up by default when I'm in outlook.

Thanks
