Oh, "blocked", that's real detailed, uh huh. So does that mean you see
"blocked:http://..." when you hover over a URL link string or might it mean
you click on the link and get some error message which you chose not to
share here?

You got one answer from Roady which was a guess because you never did
divulge the actual error message or just what "blocked" meant. If the
problem is with "block:" showing up in the URL ...

Perhaps the e-mail is in your Junk folder where links get disabled because
they're unlikely to be safe considering why the e-mail got junked. Have you
tried moving the e-mail out of the Junk folder and into another email-type
folder (Inbox or another email folder you create)?

Or perhaps the sender pasted the link from somewhere else rather than enter
their own hyperlink text. Try the following:

- Copy the URL string from the e-mail and paste into the address bar in
the web browser and edit out the "blocked:" prefix.

- See if viewing the HTML-formatted e-mail in the Internet security zone
eliminates the problem (View -> View in Internet Zone).
*WARNING: Be aware that you will be viewing that HTML-formatted e-mail
with far less restrictions which means you are more
vulnerable to its content.

--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the DETAILS that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

What is Usenet:

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
And DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.
