Help with email, please.

I've noticed a few months ago that some companies use a "mailto" service when you want to email them.

My problem is that it asks us where the mail program is on our computer... Where do I point to if I use Hotmail? (lol I know they changed the name of the service but it stupidly evades my lazy brain... :/ )

Here is an example; hotpawscanada

I feel like they don't want to hear from their customers when this mail service is offered...

Thanks

You don't point it nowhere. It only works if you have installed E-mail client.

lol well what do you know!

Many thanks for that. I'm getting one and trying it now.

Try thunderbird by mozilla.

Sure its not the most secure miracle of email but its free,m it works and the NSA reads anything you have anyway lol

No probs, BUT, that's not the whole part.
Be sure to connect your e-mail client with hotmail.

I have always had a love-hate relationships with e-mails programs.
And it's ongoing... lol

Depending on your browser, you should only have to adjust a built-in setting with no need to downloading any other program.

You might be right with that. I use Firefox, and there probably was an add-on for that.

I think I tried it, but I probably got clumsy and botched its implementation. It's a love-hate thing with e-mails...

mailto is just a link, that says "hey open this with the default mail client" since its just a link
you can just copy the link to get the email address that's embedded in it and use that.

yup, its just a basic shortcut as simple as a text file that opens your email program and puts the "to" info in for you.

I find it quite annoying myself
