  • Answer:

    You need to set your mailto link. The mailto: link was designed when there was no webmail and people had dedicated e-mail clients on their computer. Some web browsers can make it work. Firefox lets you set it up. Yahoo required you install the Yahoo toolbar. It different for each browser or e-mail.
