Have a look here

If Windows Mail determines that a message might be a phishing e‑mail, it blocks access to all links in that message. If you're certain that the message is legitimate and you want to enable links in the message, open the message, and then, on the Information bar, click Unblock to enable links in the message.

If it's anything like outlook it'll do that to any message it determines to be spam, phishing or malware.. As CD says click the unblock link

Seriously, I have searched all over for the unblock link but can't find it. It's not a wind-up I don't know what the information bar is. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

There is an Information bar in both Internet Explorer and in Windows Mail. In Internet Explorer, the Information bar appears below the Address bar and displays information about downloads, blocked pop-up windows, and other activities. In Windows Mail, the Infomation bar is displayed at the top of a mail message and is used to display information about security-related changes that were made to the message.

Thank you very much SnoopZ for that reply.

I have never had one of these information bars before in Windows Mail, hence I didn't know what it was. Links seem to be working now for some unknown reason.
