Broken links in when sending e-mail through CDO.message

80 New Member
I'm sending some automated e-mails through CDO.message. There is a text string being passed as a link in the message. It's a lengthy string, and when viewed in Outlook Express, the link becomes broken, as if OE is inserting a carriage return or something. The link works fine when viewed in Office Outlook.

Any suggestions?

The body of the message probably contains bare line feeds. What that means is any time a new line is requested, the body contains only the Line Feed character instead of the expected Carriage Return-Line Feed, You could load the message content into a variable, parse the variable using the Replace function to replace chr(10) with chr(13) & chr(10), and then just set .HTMLBody equal to the variable.

Thanks, I'll check into that.

The text string does not change when Replace(string, chr(13), chr(13)+chr(10) ) is applied to it. I get the same outcome. It's weird, because this only happens in outlook express. I'm pretty sure this is just a limitation with Outlook Express. I just sent a completely different link from a random website and it broke the link at the same point: 76 characters.

You are correct....Simp le MAPI is the only supported access to Outlook Express messages.

Hi, I'm trying to invoke the 'Broken Hyperlinks' option in the FrontPage application. The problem is that I get all the links in a given HTML page instead of getting only the broken links. I'm using automation in my Visual Basic program and I'd like to know if there is any way to get only the broken links in a web page.

I want to insert DHL and FedEx tracking links with the waybill numbers in the body of emails I am sending using sendobject. I am not sending attachments.

I am planning to develop a directory website (ASP.NET) which will contain links to hundreds of external web pages. In an effort to keep the directory up to date, I would like to trap (perhaps as an event) and then log when the user clicks on a broken link (page not found or server not available). Keep in mind that these are links to 3rd party pages not hosted on my website or server. I think I can do this using client side Java scripting,...

Has anybody else encountered a problem when running your asp.net applications off your localhost and having broken image links? The weird thing is, the links aren't really broken. The reference is correct. And what's weirder that than, it will only do it sporadically. I can refresh the screen and those images that were once broken are now visible but some others may now be broken. Or sometimes they all work, sometimes none. This...

I have a tool which tells me the number of times that visitors attempt to access a link from my site to an external site and what the response code received was. In the event of the remote site returning an error code, they are not sent to the remote site - why bother, it wouldn't work! Since I have over 1000 external links, this allows me to locate the broken links that people see the most often and fix those first. Conventional link...
