send page to OE
 

I like OE6 and want to continue using it as my default e-mail client.
I have considered using other browsers than IE as default browsers but
the one thing keeping me with IE is when I choose Send Page it will
send the entire webpage within OE message. Other browsers can't seem
to send the webpage to the OE message window.

Can OE be configured somehow to accept HTML from other browsers?

OE receives what is sent. It's not the browsers sending the HTML, it's
whatever email client that is used to send.

Either you misunderstand what I am asking or I am not clear in my
wording.

In IE when you click Mail--Send Page... it sends the entire web page
to the Message Composition window of Outlook Express in order for you
to send that message to someone. IE is the only browser I can get to
do that -- other browsers send the link. I am asking if there is a way
to tell the OS or OE to put the web page into the Message Composition
window if a browser other than IE sends it the command.

You would have to ask that question in a newsgroup for the particular
browser, but I suspect the answer is no.

It's not an OS thing either. It's the browser in question. That is the way
they have it coded. I know of absolutley no one that likes to receive a web
page as an email. A link yes, but not the web page and I imagine that is why
the other browsers don't do it. Fact is, it's been ridiculed that IE even
does it.

Yes, I know it's not a popular thing, but my recipients want to receive
the Yahoo! webpages I send them in the body of the e-mail. Hopefully
IE7 will continue to support that feature.

No. How do I get it and is it worth the upgrade right now?

It's not an upgrade yet but a Public Preview beta build of an upcoming Beta2
version. Install only for testing or for curiosity's sake. Disclaimer: IE7
B2P should not be run on a production machine!
