i send out many email links a day, usually newspaper articles. every since i loaded xp people are telling me the links are not coming through.

instead of showing the link in my email message there is a new message there saying my links are attached and ready to send…but apparently they are not.

have not been able to find any option to correct this. what can i do?

by a “link” i mean the attachment of a newspaper story or a url to an email.

Go to:

[http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp\_s.htm](http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm)

and scroll down to “Sendmail.dll”. There are three suggestions to fix the problem.

I used this one: [http://members.cox.net/wecoyote52/XPfixMail.zip](http://members.cox.net/wecoyote52/XPfixMail.zip)

and it worked great.
