Modify hyperlink in Outlook to new mapped drive?
Is there a software, macro, or process to change hyperlink locations from email source in Outlook 2003?
We have recently had some reorganization of mapped drives. Our legal department have emails with hyperlinks referencing the old map drive letter, and the hyperlinks in the email are aliased, so I can't use LBE Find and Replace to search for file:///F and change the F drive letter to P.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

For example, in the email the hyperlink would display Plaintiff's Request for September dates, invisible to the reader of the location on the network where the file was located, unless they get the balloon when they hover over the link. That is what I meant by alias.
My first thought was, if there was a solution, it would be easy to change a hyperlink in the email if it was dispalyed as file:///F\[i]filename[/i]: or F:\filename, using a find and replace any instance of F: with P:
I right-clicked on the email to view source, but I'm not sure if this is the area to make the changes.

Got it. Then a simple search and replace ought to work. Are all the messages in HTML format?

Thanks, and you 're welcome. Glad I could help.
I might be able to help, but I need to understand what you mean when you say, "the hyperlinks in the email are aliased".
