Viv,
>When I access the link to the article it loads into the message pane of the UT page. Clicking on other UT messages after this results in their opening in a new instance of IE.
I'm sure it's because I pasted in a link here as a full HREF link instead of just the plain URL, and forgot to put in a target clause. When plain URLs are posted, UT takes care of making an href link that opens in a new window. I'll try to do better next time. :-)
