TransURL - URL Translation Utility

Here is a helpful small program for those who might find their links timing out in Hotmail messages

If I am in Hotmail for too long, a new page opens with a page saying “Your e-mail message has been idle and this link has become inactive.”

If you have been getting complaints about this, one “fix” is to use this free TransURL program.

I right click on the link and select the COPY option. Then I paste it into TransURL. In this rare case, you must edit the Translated URL by deleting the ‘); from the end of the string. Then click the GOTO URL button, which opens a new page and takes you to the proper page.

It works well.To download the "Small" program just follow the instructions on the site
