Problem Forwarding Internet Links!

Whenever I forward a message with an Internet Link to another e-mail program
it cannot be forwarded from that other program without it becoming corrupted
with what looks like Chinese characters and some undecipherable code! This
only happens when the message originates from WLM (14.0.8064.0206).

Why is this happening? What can be done about it?

Thanks,

Oreally

He won't get an updated version if he is still using Windows XP.

Thanks.....I did update WLM through CNET. But why didn't the update show up
via Windows Update itself?

He certainly should. 14.0.8064.0206 was released in February 2009,
14.0.8117.0416 in May 2010. 53 builds covers a lot of bugfixes.
