>>Hi Parul, What appears to be incorrect? Can u illustrate with screenshots or an example, if you have one? Thanks.<<

So, I am having this issue as well.

When I bring up ShareThis, I first see four icons: Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and Email

When I click Email and then choose to send email via the Outlook Client installed on my machine, things seem to work fine. Also, Gmail is working fine.

But when I choose the "Outlook" icon, it brings up https://outlook.live.com in the browser. In that case, the link that I wanted to send is incorrect, as it has line breaks appended to the end of it. I will try to attach an image of this as well.

Here's how it looks:

https://shar.es/1V1poI<br><br>This message was sent using ShareThis [http://www.sharethis.com]

Sent from Outlook

It turns out that the href contains the <br> tags, so what ends up being sent is a broken link. Here is the actual link that is being sent:
