How do you setup IE so that when you click an email link, it automatically routes to Yahoo mail?

Currently if I'm using IE to browse a page, and click an email link, I receive a 'Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed.'

So instead, I just copy and paste the address into a new note in Yahoo mail. It would be nice to just have IE setup so that I can click the email link, and be routed instantly my Yahoo mail with a new note addressed to the email address in the link. Can this be done?

If not with IE, can this be done with Firefox?

Thanks.

In IE go to Tools then Internet Options then the Programs Tab.

Next to email click the down arrow and choose Yahoo Mail. Hope that works.

To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Tools %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; Programs tab %26gt; under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail %26gt; click Apply. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option follow the directions below and it will solve your problem.

Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email application for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window.

If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu.

If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install.

Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you.

You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications.

Requirements:

Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Vista

Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
