Nothing is sent from my email link

[Bruce A. Julseth]

I'm a newbie to Frontpage, so please excuse me if this question is too
basic!

I have an email link on my page that seems to work. At least, when I click
it the MS Word Message form dialog pops up. I then enter a message with the
email address as my own, and click send. The message dialog disappears. But,
the message never appears in my email box.

Why not and how do I fix the problem?

Thanks....

What's the link?

Could simply be delays through mail servers, including your own host, which
you would have no control over. Such is the way of the internet.

for

Well, this morning I discovered one or my problems. The email I sent from my
web page was going to Outlook's outbox. Well, I never use Outlook. I use
Outlook Express. Is there a setting somewhere that will route my email
messages directly to my SMPT server? Or, at least, route them to Outlook
Express?

Thanks....

Bruce

Never mind. I found the setting to make Outlook Express my default mail
handler.

Thanks for the help....
