i have a hyperlink with mailto: tag which when clicked opens the default 

email client -outlook express or whatever.works well in IE but netscape 

pops up the foll message:

Your email address is not been specified.Before sending a mail or news 

message you must specify a return address." 

any thoughts..

Because Netscape tries to open Netscape Mail, and then it baulks because

Netscape Mail has not been setup yet. Probably the process of opening

Netscape has made Netscape the default browser, and Netscape Mail the

default mail client.



Cheers

Ken
