whenver i attempt to send a mail using a link to an e-mail addy i get the
following error :

Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not
installed properly

Please tell me where to go and set it up.

Re: sending mail from a link in a document

Go to control panel | Default programs and make Windows Mail the default
there. Then see if it works.

Re: sending mail from a link in a document

When you select the default program make sure you clicked on the Choose
Defaults for this program and make sure you click on the mailto part for
WinMail.
