Re: Unable to respond to Craigslist by email

You need to have an email program configured to send/receive email. And
that program has to be the default for the mailto protocol.
By default Vista assigns Windows Mail to be the default mailto handler.

What email program do you use?

Re: Unable to respond to Craigslist by email

You can't access a Live email account with Windows Mail, unless you pay for
the Plus account, to get access to the POP servers.

You can access it with the newer Windows Live Mail.

Re: Unable to respond to Craigslist by email

If you have installed Windows Live Mail, the first time you run it, it will
prompt you to enter your email address. Do so, and it will automatically
complete the setup.
