Microsoft Outlook 2003 Forum

Hello,

I was tried without result click on an email message's hyperlink inside the text. I've seen responses says that outlook insists on opening links in IE and in windows 2000 bottle it doesn't work.

So tired to find how to do that I tested other way. "copy the text paste in word and click the link". So thinking and think I decided use VBA to partially resolve the problem. I made a very simple macro that saves the selected message in HTML and then opens it with Firefox.

That's it.

Tell me what do you think.

Public Sub openMailInIE()

    Dim obj As Object

    Set obj = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)

    obj.SaveAs "z:\tmp\tmp.html", OlSaveAsType.olHTML

    Shell "z:\usr\bin\firefox file:///tmp/tmp.html"

End Sub

Link it to a toolbar's button.

Regards,
Carlos
