How to add links on the Yahoo homepage?

Why: "Add Yahoo (us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com) as an application for mailto links"?

  • In Yahoo mail I keep getting the message "Add Yahoo (us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com) as an application for mailto links?" But what is it and WHAT does it do? Thank you

  • Answer:

    A mailto link is what most websites use for email. They have 2 choices. They can create a page with fill in the blanks that is then sent to them or they can use the mailto command to just transfer you to your email program to create the email. The problem is that that command transfers to a standalone email program like Thunderbird. It takes an add on or a browser feature to allow it to go to websites such as Yahoo. It looks like Yahoo has created an add on to do it. I do not know any details about it.
