Did you also go and make/reset IE the default browser? That fixes the
printing problem for some people.

Also, in Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program
Access and Defaults, Custom, Browser to make IE the default browser.

Hi Bruce
Thanks so much for the quick reply.
The hyperlinks are not a big issue, as they can be cut and pasted, but
thanks for
clearing it up with the IE7 answer... security I suppose.
The real problem is the messages can only be printed in HTML code.
The link you provided is the same one I mentioned in the body of my
first
post.
We just tried to find the TMP association and there was none. This
solution
didn't work.
Any idea what else would cause this to happen?
Where else can I find if .TMP file has been given a Notepad
association?
Or is there another avenue for a solution?
Any ideas?

Also try resetting IE as the default browser.
For links in e-mail that do not open when clicked on:
Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to
Internet
Explorer 7:

If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7:

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT
URL:Internet
Shortcut) and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.
"Application used to perform this action" should read:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the
path to
iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.)
DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:
#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)
#4
WWW_OpenURL
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.
Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

My father-in-law is having an Outllook Express problem.
He uses Outlook Express on Microsoft XP SP3.
When he tries to print a message, it prints in HTML code.
When he clicks on a link in the message, nothing happens.
Seems like an HTML text vs. Plain Text problem, but his settings
are OK.
Right now he has HTML checked for all incoming mail. Since December
24
2008
the messages are coming in looking like Rich Text, but Hyperlinks
are
unusable and when printed, they become an unreadable HTML code.
I did several searches and found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=175322
This seems to be the problem exactly, but the solution does not
apply.
When
checking file associations, there are no .TMP files on the list.
The
article
suggests that somehow .TMP files have been associated with a text
editor
(Notepad). It makes perfect sense, but I can find any such
association. I
checked Windows Explorer and then through File Associations in
Control
Panel.
If it's any help... I was there that day, (probably caused the
problem),
and
helped him with 2 files that he had downloaded from a Word Doc. The
were
from
Norway and needed a Powepoint Viewer to be seen. I downloaded the
viewer
and
associated the files with it. Today, I had him Remove that program
along
with
an Amazon mp3 file downloading app, as they were the only changes
made
that
day.
Since I am trying to help him "over the phone", it's been
frustrating. I'm
hoping there is an easy fix, that I'm not aware of. Any help would
be
greatly
appreciated.
