Automatic Hyperlink Formatting in Outlook 2007 no longer functional
Users are no longer able to click on URL's in plain-text messages received in Outlook 2007 either in the Preview Pane or when opened into a separate window. Previously, any properly formatted URL would be automatically converted into a hyperlink when displayed. This started after the current round of updates that Microsoft pushed out (April 2009).
Is there a way we can re-enable just this function or establish a trusted zone of URL's that will automatically generate without uninstalling a security update?
