Oops. Sorry. I had no idea it would return all that.
Perhaps we should just be looking at a find for "mailto" then? ; )

BTW what would be the significance of the 8.3 path name?

It's gotta be a bug in the Protected Mode feature.

Since the important parts of this thread aren't displayed here in vista.mail,

I have the same problem with the IE7 and Vista.

Do you have already a solution for this problem?
