Hi
When I click on an email address on a web page, the link takes me to Yahoo mail (as it should) but doesn't copy over the email address into the "to" box.
I've checked "mail to" in settings and that's set okay, I'm not sure how I can resolve this.
Has anyone else experienced similar. I've tried a few different web page links but none of them work.
Thanks
Ms C

Yes it states Yahoo mail, that's what I thought was the problem but alas not
It goes to the mail account okay when you click on the link, just doesn't fill in the "to" box with the email address I've clicked onThrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
