HI
When I click on an email link within a web siteusing Mozilla
I get ' MAILTO IS NOT A REGISTED PROTOCOL'

I have set up linux a few times but never had this message before .
Is there a way to fix this

<running Mandrake 9.1 with Apache / Mysql / PHP >

thanks

well this is purely clientside, and you've presumably not got a default mail client setup.

Hi
Thanks for your answer!

I just made Evolution the default EMail client in KDE control panel but I am still getting the same message . Isnt there somewhere in The mozilla perfs where I can set this I cant find it !!

I still have this problem with mailto

basically when I click on a mailto link in a web site < contact or something like that >
I get the following answer

mailto is not a registered protocol .... This happens in all the browsers set up on my Mandrake 9.1 So its not a mozilla problem ??

Evolution is set as E Mail client !

Some body tried to help me with this link but I dont understand it only talks a bout thunderbird

any body else have this problem

Have you installed the mozex extension? The link I gave you says how to set it once you install it and run it. Check the mozex home page. Also search for "mailto" at mozillazine.org.

HI
I sure had a look thanks but it only talks about thunderbird
I use Mozilla and

mailto doesnt work with any browser
sorry for being so stupid on this one

From the mozex page:

Quote:

UNIX: How do I use Evolution to handle mailto: links ?

evolution mailto:%A?Subject=%S&Cc=%C&body=%B

So install mozex on Mozilla and then configure it as above. That should do it I think.

So the same thing goes for mozilla ?

I do this here
