Hi Microsoft Office Software Support Group, I have searched the internet
(well Google anyway) for the answer to this problem I’m having with
Outlook, and it seems I am not alone. Several of the results bring me
to this forum alas none to the solution. Perhaps it’s the way in which
the question is being asked? So to deliberate a tad…

Before I begin; Enabling ‘Block image and other external content in
HTML e-mail’ is not the solution. This simply blocks images and content
not actually in the mail, but linked to on internet sites.

So to start; I’m subscribed to a newsgroup where people post their
collections of images. They want their collection of images to remain
as a group, but to post them as one post would be huge, so they divide
the post in to several posts calling them for instance Iceland 1-7,
Iceland 2-7, Iceland 3-7 etc. (At times there may be as many as 200
posts). Some people even go as far as to encoding their posts using a
program called yEnc32 (http://www.yenc32.com/).

Readers of this newsgroup, who wish to see those images would have to
sort the posts by title, select the group of posts and, using Outlooks
tool, Combine and decode the files.

Once the process of downloading has completed and outlook has combined
and decoded the file the ‘still’ encoded (yEnc32) file opens as one
e-mail message and begins the task of SEARCHING FOR HYPERLINKS…. To the
annoyance of the reader of the group who is simply trying to save the
e-mail as a .txt file and close the combined e-mail.

Saving the e-mail as a .txt file allows yEnc32 to complete the decoding
process thus allowing the reader to view the images.

So the question remains; how do you stop Outlook from Searching for
these Hyperlinks which are not hyperlinks but actually part of the
encoded document?
