Literally that’s what I get on the SDMB vBulletin board after clicking to unscribe from threads. Where’s the glitch ? Is it in my computer ? Is there anything I can do to fix that funny language and unsuscribe ? In Outlook Express: To unsubscribe from this thread, please visit this page: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/subscription.php?do=removesubscription&type=thread&subscriptionid=1519510&auth=dc5d8a0cb4768cf1d359337861e72b41](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/subscription.php?do=removesubscription&type=thread&subscriptionid=1519510&auth=dc5d8a0cb4768cf1d359337861e72b41) Thanks ---

I’m going to send this thread to ATMB from GQ. I think you’ll be more likely to get an answer there. ---

Would you be able to link to a screen shot of that e-mail as it appears in Outlook Express? My guess is that Outlook Express is probably breaking the proper link when it does a line break, but a quick look at a screenshot will let us know. ---

Is this what you need ? file:///C:/Program%20Files/ScreenshotCaptor/Screenshots/outlook%20express%20Screenshot%20-%2005.01.2010%20,%2022\_13\_12.png (Can’t do any better, sorry, I’m such a dud - I even downloaded Screenshot Captor for the purpose) ---

Kinda. You have the right idea, but you’ll have to upload it to a photo sharing sight like Photobucket or Flickr, and then post the link. (The link you did post goes back to a file on your computer–which we can’t see.) That said, if it’s any easier for you, feel free to e-mail me the screenshot at [sdmb@skipmagic.net](mailto:sdmb@skipmagic.net). ---

Thank you **SkipMagic**. That’s too complicated for me. And the problem seems to have subsided. I’ve unsuscribed from another thread in Outlook Express.
