Email Problem

[Bruce A. Julseth]

I have a Frontpage Webpage with an email hyperlink. The link works fine with
Outlook and Outlook Express, but fails with NetZero and Yahoo. With NetZero,
no error message is returned. I still have contact the person with Yahoo to
see how it fails. Both persons are using XP.

Appreciate help on this problem...

Thank you...

Bruce

The problem is not FP or XP. The problem is when you click
on an email link IE tells Windows to open the default mail
handler. Yahoo & NetZero generally both use web based email
composition, and are not using an installed mailer. This
problem should happen on other email links on the net as
well for them.

If they install Outlook Express, they must have a pop 3/smtp mail account
with an ISP/mail provider.

Thanks for the response.

Without an POP3/SMTP server, how do I solve this problem?

Thanks...
