How To: Send an e-mail to an address on a webpage.
Often, a webpage will have an e-mail link embedded in the code. While it says
“Contact Us” or “E-mail Bob,” there is no address visible. Clicking on the link will
open up Outlook Express E-mail Client, which does not work correctly on our
computers. Follow these steps to find the address.
1. Hover the mouse pointer (it should turn from an arrow into a hand) over the
“E-mail Bob” link.
2. Look in the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser window. It should say
“mailto: bob@msn.com” [If there is no “mailto,” it is not an e-mail link.]
You’ll want to write down this address on a scrap of paper.
3. Open a new tab or window, and go to your personal e-mail.
4. Click “Compose” or “New.”
5. Type in the address you found in Step 2; DO NOT include the “mailto.”
6. Proceed with writing and sending your e-mail as normal.
