Mail as your default email 'program', but can't seem to get it to work, especially since Yahoo! has only released an Internet Explorer version of their 'email defaulting' program? Well, now your problems are solved - finally. When you click on a 'mailto:' link, you'll be redirected to the Yahoo! Mail 'compose message' site with the appropriate informations filled-out - the 'To:' address, and subject and body if provided. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clicking on a 'mailto:' link in Firefox pulls up my 'default email program' - Yahoo! Mail - but it is pulled up in Internet Explorer. Unacceptable! Actual Results: Internet Explorer is launched and goes to Yahoo! Mail. Expected Results: Just redirect me, inside Firefox, to the Yahoo! Mail website. http://www.acromedia.com/dev/mozilla/useyahoomail/
