What is the compatibility between AOL and mailto functions? I have heard that this will not open the AOL mail client, but not sure if it's a setting that controls this, or if it just won't work with AOL. <br />

Thank you.<!--content-->By default, mailto: addresses should open the user's preferred e-mail client. Though, the smartest thing to do would be to write a simple server-side script for sending e-mail so everything is done transparently.<!--content-->provided that AOL is the default mail client, I have found AOL the best at handling the mailto anchor. It will correctly add the to address, and cc and bccs, as well as a subject and html-embedded message :)<!--content-->The mailto function is not working with an AOL mail client and using IE 6.0. On other computers that I have tested it on, it works fine with Outlook as the default mail client. Is this just a compatibility issue w/ AOL or is there something I need to change in my browser settings?<br />

Thank you.<!--content-->
