Links, AWF and AOL (1 Viewer)

All my email coming from AWF via AOL are all just URL but not links. Anybody have an idea whats happening?

I would guess it's an AOL thing. Mine are coming through fine. Is there a setting or something where you can "trust" AWF? In Outlook I can declare somebody to be a safe/trusted sender; I haven't used AOL so not sure if there's an equivalent.

There probable is a setting, but my links are coming thru from other sites.

Perhaps because it's an unknown (to AOL) sender. In any case, I just clicked on the link in the notification email for your post (Gmail in my case).

As of now I have to copy the URL and past it into the address line to get to your post.

Usually an email provider will block links on "untrusted" senders unless you mark it as such, making all links unclickable. This is obviously to prevent spam and harmful content from loading on your machine. There are ways to make links automatically open in an email, so it's an important feature.

See if you can find someplace within aol that you can make AWF a "trusted" sender or allow links in your emails from AWF. There must be something in their software.

Jax old buddy thanks for answering. I made sure the block was not set for links for untrusted email but I will see if for some reason after 8 years AWF got marked as untrusted.
I was hoping to stop by and see you this year but my contact in WV died so I will not be going that way for a while.
