    Sent newsletter (in Outlook) but cannot open links when this is received?
    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me! I'm having problems opening up links in an email newsletter I created.

    I coded a newsletter in html on Dreamweaver (and put it on our local server- so it is uploaded on our webpage server) and previewed it in the browser (Internet Explorer). I then went:
    File > Send > Page by email...
    This popped up in Outlook and to test it I sent this to myself and my work colleagues. When they opened it up though, the links I had put in there did not work? :confused:
    A page popped up with an error message.
    I was just wondering if anyone knew why this was and whether I'm missing something really obvious!
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    I don't know anything about Dreamweaver, but one thing I see fairly frequently is folks who send me an email and the links are either local to their machine or local to a web server instead of a fully qualified URL.

    Thanks Scleros, I will make sure it is on a fully qualified URL! I'll let you know if it doesn't work!
    Thanks again!
