When you receive an HTML message, links in it may not work or the File, Open dialog
will open, asking to associate an executable file with the link.
Looking at the source, you'll see the URL is prefixed with BLOCKED::, like this:
Office
Online
This is a security feature in Outlook 2003 and happens when URLs are copied from
one email message and pasted into another message. It's added by the sender's copy
of Outlook; the recipient can't adjust settings to remove it.
The sender can control it by adjusting the blocked external context setting in Outlook
2003. You'll find these settings on the Tools, Options, Security, Change Automatic
Download Settings menu or click on the Infobar of a message containing blocked content
and choose Change Automatic Download Settings.
