Mailto URL, Ok or not ok?

[nakedfrog]

While the mailto should work, I still think it should be form-based.

What browser/setup/mail client did you use to test the info@ilcomplaw.com
address that did not work.

I'm having trouble finding anything that's not mailto compatible.

Yahoo, msn, google, and aol mail.




Anyone care to tell me what the h3ll he means?

What he means is he used webmail to test it. In that case, he wouldn't have a mail client configured, so when the link was clicked, he'd probably get OLE wanting to be set up for mail.

Ahhhhhhhh...

So it's not that they don't work it's that the client isn't configured. I think I'm starting to get it.

Yep

And if all they use is webmail with no client front end, you're gonna have to use a form.
