Link not clickable in MSN/Hotmail emails

I have a page that sends users a link to click to be 'removed' from our
registration page. In Yahoo the link shows up just fine, is clickable, etc.

In Hotmail/MSN, no go. I've seen some pages come across in MSN/Hotmail that
if you TRY to click the link, it asks if you want to enable this.

How is this done?? Or how can I get my link to be enabled in Hotmail?

I am sending the email as:

cfmail from="info@sb.com" to="#Cancel.u_email#" server="mail.sb.com"
port="25" mailerid="sb.com" subject="Withdrawl from tournament"
failto="info@sb.com" type="html" charset="utf-8">

Thanks.....

    I'm already using SPF/SenderID, the issue isn't one where my emails go to a
    spam/junk folder, its that the links aren't being displayed as links, just
    text....
