Whenever I try to email a link to a webpage using the
File>Send menu option I get a message at the top of the
Outlook email that states "Outlook has blocked access to
the potentially unsafe Attachment <Url>." This doesn't
happen when I send pages. To work around this I cut and
paste the URL into the body of a new email without any
problems. How do I fix this?
 
If you use Outlook Express, use this:

If you use Outlook, use this:

Quote from there:

Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 SP3 (but not
Outlook 98 or earlier Outlook 2000 versions) allow the
user to use a registry key to open up access to blocked
attachments. (Always make a backup before editing the
registry.) To use this key:
Run Regedit, and go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0
\Outlook\Security (change 10.0 to 9.0 for Outlook 2000 SP3
or to 11.0 for Outlook 2003`fs)

Under that key, add a new string value named Level1Remove.

For the value for Level1Remove, enter a semicolon-
delimited list of file extensions. For example, entering
this:

mdb;url

would unblock Microsoft Access files and Internet
shortcuts.
