news link in OE6 won't work with x-usc: prefix
The news link displays normally in OE6:
news://newsserver/newsgroup Looking at its source code, that is exactly how it appears in the source code as well, no extra characters or prefix. However the link is dead when clicked, it goes nowhere. The reason is that apparently a x-usc: prefix appears out of the blue for unknown reasons, so when hovering the mouse over the link it appears in the OE6 status bar as follows: x-usc:news://newsserver/newsgroup Where does the mysterious x-usc: prefix come from, why, and how can it be fixed?

You might check for 3rd party program interference, such as antivirus or
antimalware software which can screw up normal operations such as that. steve "Gene3" wrote in message ...

Take a look at the File associations for URL:News Protocol and URL:NNTP
Protocol. They should read "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msimn.exe" /newsurl:"%1" -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "Gene3" wrote in message ...

news link in OE6 won't work with x-usc: prefix
Thanks to you and others for your suggestions. I found the cause
elsewhere... It's a bug in Windows Mail on Vista computers that affixes the "x-usc:" prefix onto URLs when copying them. Here's a generic example of the source code involved: A=20 href=3D"mhtml:{249823CC-30E1-4365-B565-540D83AAB0D4}mid://00000119/!x-usc= :news://newsserver/newsgroup"news://newsserver/= newsgroup/A I didn't notice it til very recently, but it seems to be propagating. Also googling for this error doesn't find much. So my hunch is that it was introduced with a recent Vista or Windows Mail update. I have no idea if MS is aware of it...

news link in OE6 won't work with x-usc: prefix
To answer my own question: I did quite a bit of googling, and discovered
that reports of this bug started over 2 years ago. So MS has ample time to become aware of it, and their response is apparently to ignore it and hope it will go away.  Or maybe they just don't care. The evolution of windows software has perhaps become too top heavy... -- Gene 3 "Gene3" wrote in message ... Do you know if MS is aware of this bug?
