Is there an IE plugin that can do this? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

In Hotmail when you click a link in your email it opens an MSN window frame with your link inside of it.

Does anybody know of a plugin or enhancement for IE that can be used to right click one of these links in your hotmail emails and open it minus the MSN garble?

I'm pretty sure that the new forced framing system in Hotmail can't be worked around. I've heard a bunch of people complaining about it in the Mozilla Firebird forums.

use outlook express with the hotmail settings, its not exactly what you want, but it will solve that issue

or one of the many hotmail -> pop convertors and you can use whichever mail you like.

Yes IE does have plugins

Gee....I wonder if MS thought of this when they implemented it?

A script similar to this that could be put into a right click menu (Open Link OUt of Hotmail)
or something that could scan a single link when right clicked and fix would be good, seems like this could be done..

I found the below "bookmarklet" at this site:

http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/pagelinks.html

I can't read this very well, but from the looks of things, https: and ftp: links can't be fixed, but it works with HTTP.
I just click it on the bar and poof the redirects are gone.. it's nice.. going to see if I can put it into the contextual menu.

Code:

javascript:(function(){var%20k,x,t,i,j;%20for(k=0;x=document.links[k];k++){t=x.href.replace(/[%25]3A/ig,':').replace(/[%25]2f/ig,'/');i=t.lastIndexOf('http://');if(i%3E0){t=t.substring(i);j=t.indexOf('&');if(j%3E0)t=t.substring(0,j);x.href=unescape(t)}%20else%20if%20(x.onmouseover&&x.onmouseout){x.onmouseover();%20if%20(window.status.indexOf('://')!=-1)x.href=window.status;%20x.onmouseout();%20}%20x.onmouseover=null;%20x.onmouseout=null;%20}})();

Sorry about the lengthy script code, I didn't want to put any line breaks in for fear of breaking it..
