How do I set Yahoo mail as my default mail provider?

I want my reply in craiglist posting to use Yahoo as my e-mail default instead it brings up Window Live?

• I had contacted Craiglist on the above and this is what I had got back from them; "I suspect when you click the 'Reply to:' email address your browser is trying to use Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail (or the like) as your default email. Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail etc., are programs located on your computer, not on the internet, and have nothing to do with a web-based email provider like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. To use an email program on your computer to link with an email account at your Internet Service Provider. (POP3 / SMTP servers), You will need to contact your ISP for assistance on that if you'd like. It appears you have not set up your everyday email to be your default email. If you'd like to set your favorite email to be your default email (to work when you "click") you will have to set up your browser to do so... Your browser and email provider help areas are where to seek assistance for that" How do I do this, thanks!!!

• Answer:

  You must understand that Yahoo is not an email program (examples: Windows Mail or Thunderbird). It is an email service. The default email is normally a program. The only way to alter it to be Yahoo is with some type of add on or you can use the latest Firefox. My recommendation is to just copy and paste the address. But if you insist then ... ₪ For Firefox 3 and above Go to tools > options > applications. Scroll down to MAILTO and select Yahoo Mail from the dropdown menu. ₪ For Internet Explorer You must first download Yahoo! Toolbar from http://toolbar.yahoo.com and install it. During installation you will be asked if you want to make yahoo mail your default email. ₪ Other Option Here is a program called GmailDefaultMaker. Even though it is named Gmail it will work on Yahoo, AOL, and Hotmail. I have not tried it. It only works on sites that use the MAILTO: command. http://gmaildefault.codeplex.com/ This is another program that is supposed to be a little more advanced. http://www.affixa.com/ ℬ ℋ
