I very rarely click links in emails - even when they're from friends that I
know. Jokes are great "magnets" to attract visitors to a malicious website.
I'm not saying that your friends would send you bad links - they may have
been fooled too.

If you're sure the site is safe, are you using Outlook Express for mail?

If no luck, repost this question in the Outlook Express Newsgroup (this
group is for questions about the Accessibility Options in Windows):
