Hi, <br />
<br />
I have a very simple form with mailto to send contents of the form to my email address. Is it just me, or does it only work with microsoft outlook?<br />
<br />
I appreciate any help, <br />
Thank You.<!--content-->Mailto works for any properly configured browser/mail reader pair. It predates Outlook by several years.<!--content-->mailto will only work with a mail client so people who use webmail will get screwed over if you use mailto. I suggest running your emails server side with an smtp if you are able to.<!--content-->Terribly sorry PeO....but...<br />
You can Download <!--more--> and application that allows you to automatically open your Yahoo! Webmail when you click on a mailto: link...other than that, it doesn't work with webmail...<!--content-->Originally posted by neenach2002 <br />
