 Hi,

I would like to make an hyperlink to an external file in a messaje. I have writen Allow (HTML = 1) in .cfg file and the hyperlink as

<p><a href="file:\\external_computer\directory">test</a></p>

It did not work. However if I write in the chrome browser:

file:\\external_computer\directory

It works.

Thank you so much!!

 

A link to a local file inside a web page does never work on purpose. Malicious web pages could otherwise get access to your local password file for example which would be a huge security hole. You have to copy the link address explicitly into your URL bar of the browser.
