Outlook 2001 for MAC's

I have a Macintosh workstation running OS-9, with IE installed as my internet browser.

I am using Outlook 2001 client on this workstaion in a Exchange Server 5.5 enviorment.

My problem is when recieving an email with a hyper-link attached I get nothing....in other words the link is not "hot."
All other non-Mac workstations recieve these emails fine....it's just the Mac's having trouble.
Also, when I access my mail through OWA (Outlook Web Access) I can view these emails the way the should appear....hyper-links are "hot." Which in a sense this kind of makes since, bends when using OWA I assume I am actually using the Exchange server piece and not the Outlook 2001 client on my workstation.

Does anyone have a clue on how to rectifythis situation? Any help would be greatly apprieciated.....
thanks in advance to any blessed soul who can help.
