Outlook is an e-mail client, not a web browser. Not everything that can
be rendered by a web browser will be rendered by e-mail clients that
support HTML-formatted e-mails. No one wants their e-mails to become
web sites.

In Outlook, the default is to use the Restricted Sites security zone
under which to render HTML-formatted e-mails. Other e-mail clients have
their own security suite of settings that will disable the nasties in
HTML-formatted e-mails, like scripting (and which would include
ActiveX). Do YOU really want someone controlling your host via scripts
contained in e-mails that they send to you, especially since a portion
of your e-mails come from unknown or untrusted senders? Maybe you do
but not the rest of us.

Even if you change the security zone under which you render
HTML-formatted e-mails, no one else is going to so do. So stop trying
to turn your e-mails into web pages. If you want your recipients to see
the full features of a web site then put a URL to your web site in your
e-mails.

What version of Outlook do you use? This error is somewhat common when
you use a signature and Word as the editor. Try editing the signature,
changing the mail format, changing editors, or Tools, Options,Security
tab, and then on the security zone dropdown list select Internet. (Not
all of these methods work in all versions.)
