[squid-users] multiple outlook authentication request

Hello,

I am using SQUID version 2.5STABLE6, with LDAP authentication, and it is
working fine with most of browsers.
Only problem i get is with outlook and html messages which, in case user do
not want to read this message,
ask for several logins at every http reference in message.
(It seems it stop after 5 popups, even if there are more than 5 http links,
and even if tcpdump shows me that
  outlook performs 'GET http:' to squid for each link)

I found in archive answer telling that "This is a browser/client issue,
nothing Squid can do about it." (March 03)
Anyway, does someone has any idea of fixing the problem on outlook or has a
turnaround for Squid ?

I though that next 'acl .. browser' could turnaround problem by skipping
authentication for outlook,
but i get authentication window too.
Can you help ?

    acl USERS proxy_auth REQUIRED
    acl MAIL_clients browser outlook
    #
    http_access allow MAIL_clients
    http_access allow USERS my_networks

Thanks,
-Bernard
