setting up a site for a client. they responded saying that when they click on the email address to send a message (i have a mailto: function in the link) it is saying something like this:
There was a grey box
that came up that said PROGRAM NOT FOUND and said something about
OUTLOOK.EXE was not installed.Sounds like a local machine problem? I tested it on some in house PCs and it worked fine. Are there times when the mailto: func. won't work?

whatup buck.
sounds like they are using IE. Have them goto 'tools' then 'internet options' then click on the programs tab. In this section it says 'e-mail' have them choose whatever email program that they use.

Mailto opens the default email handler, Outlook. How can he open outlook if he doesnt have outlook? No what I mean?

point taken Mont. is there a way to code it so it will open up whatever email program they have?

the alternative is to make a email form.. so they dont need to open anything.

buck I thought my answer should have helped, guess not.

it did. but this isn't for me, if i understood your answer correctly. this is going to be a site where hundreds of different users on a bunch of diff. systems will visit.
controlling them all might be difficult. other than a form.
thanks,
