Hello All -

I recall some time ago coming across the shortcut-key sequence to open a
link in an email message to be viewed inside the OUTLOOK browser. Since
using XP more to support some customers who do, I cannot remember nor find
any reference to the way this is done in the Office XP environment.

Any help you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated, and I
thank-you in advance for it.

Bob -

The WEB toolbar (the Address bar) is open, however just clicking a link
opens an external browser context. I was looking for the means (eg.
CTRL-click) that will open a link in the Outlook browser. I guess something
other than setting OUTLOOK as the default browser.

Humm, maybe Word being used as the editor in Web View? I haven't done
that in Outlook, but I have in the "Mozilla" e-mail application.

I too would like to know if anyone knows how to configure Outlook to open
email hyperlinks using the embedded browser.

Why would you want to? The "embedded" browser doesn't have all the functions
of the "real" browser....

Nor does it have the security fixes of IE.

I receive many subject oriented emails (trusted) which contain multiple links
to items which I may, or may not be interested in. Constantly jumping back
back and forth between applications is tedious and difficult. Being able to
"scout" the web pages with Outlook would allow me a quick assessment of the
article which I could them "browse" to if the article was of interest.

It would seem that this would be THE logical reasonfor implementing the
embedded browser beyond just the ability to display HTML formatted email. ;-)
