Default PROBLEM WITH URL'S and OUTLOOK MAIL

Just forwarding as is. No attachment.

Norton Antivirus + Windows Defender on both. Has never been an issue before.

How do I check for the "plain text" configuration. That sounds promising.

is the office computer configured for plain text only? Is there an
antivirus scanner on either system that could be messing up the message?
Are you forwarding inline or as an attachment?

sorry, I guess I didn't explain this properly.

I took an email from American Airlines that had various pictures (gif,
jpg), displays and formatting and forwarded it to my office computer.

All I got was text and a bunch of references. No pictures. No lists.
No displays. .

What do I need to do (with the office computer) to view this email the
same as it was sent?

Thank you.

Windows XP. Office 2003.

Often, when I receive emails on my office computer (frequently
forwarded from home or other source), the url's appear in the
http://www. form without the picture or underlying web information.

Clicking on each url brings up the appropriate screen.

The behavior is very much what you get in an email that ends up in the
junk folder before it is moved to a regular mail folder.

What is going on here? How do I fix the receiving computer to display
the emails properly?


A URL is a string to denote the path to whatever is the site. There is
no picture with a URL. A URL is just a string. There is no "underlying
web information", whatever that is that you do not describe. A URL is
just a string. If the URL string is showing in the body of the e-mail
then that is what the sender put there, so the e-mail with the URL *is*
displaying properly.
