Clicking the e-mail link on webpages.

[gingernut]

I'm trying to send a message to various establishments in the South West of England.

I've found various websites listing such places, and when I click on the "e-mail" link, outlook express automatically opens.

I usually use yahoo to send e-mails, so I have to copy and paste the e-mail address from outlook express, to my yahoo mail, and then copy and paste the message i want to send.

Is there a quicker way? (I'm trying to avoid using outlook express)

Thanks in advance.

If we knew which browser it would help, so here goes for Internet Explorer (6)

Tools
Internet Options
Programs
Email

Much appreciated, it's internet explorer 6.0.2900

I've tried that sequence but am left with 4 options

Hotmail, Microsoft Office Outlook, MSN Explorer and Outlook Express.

But no yahoo

Just configure outlook express to pick up mail from your Yahoo account, thats how mine is configured, I can then choose which way to view my emails.

It depends which type of Yahoo account.

Mine is a free account originating from talk21.com days and mail forwarding to Outlook Express is blocked unless I upgrade to the premium (fee based) version.

Unless things have changed, Yahoo does not offer pop email support unless you pay them for it? It is some while since I looked but I'm sure that used to be the case.

Yes - confirmed - you need 'PLUS'

Whether that will then come up on your IE options I know not.

Does this help?
