Is it possible to suspend or eliminate Outlook Express from checking for
hyperlinks within email messages?

I use O.E for newsgroup reading where some of the messages and posted file
downloads need to be save in text format. When this happens, O.E. begins
looking for hyperlinks. I would like to turn this feature off when saving
such postings.

Is there a way to suspend the checking of hyperlinks?

Tips, suggestions and recommendations will be appreciated!

Two ways. 1. Click File/Work Offline, or 2. Disable the Preview Pane
(View/Layout).

I was having the same problem, but the 2 methods mentioned did not resolve
the issue.
I have a large message that I wanted to Save As Text. On a Windows 2000
machine I could
go-> Ctrl F A Tab T and click Save quickly before the search for hyperlinks
began.
With Windows XP the process is much slower as it quickly starts the search
for hyperlinks.
I really wish there was a registry setting or something to tell OE6 to just
not search the message for hyperlinks.
Thanks
Kenneth
