I use XP Pro/SP2 with IE6 and OE6

I have webpages with a simple email form using the standard form
action="mailto:.......?subject=...." method="post" tag. They used to work
OK.

But now the email message created by clicking on Send has only the To: and
Subject: boxes automatically completed. The whole of the text area is blank.

The form used to work OK, and still does for people using them to send the
forms to me! I assume that something has changed in OE6 - maybe by a MS
Update?

Tony

I'm not aware of any recent changes in OE that would affect that.

Take a look at
Automatically Generated E-Mail Messages Do Not Have Subject or Content
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317104

If you posted a link to your web page, we might be able to see if it
works for us.

Here is the link http://www.rexsphynxklubben.dk/membe_gb.html

Please try the first form (Become a member). There isn't any content
checking, so you can type in anything. Only polite messages please :-))

I have checked it again before sending this, and all I get is a message with
To: and Subject: boxes - no content.

Thanks for the Article link. That refers to MSN Explorer and I don't have
that installed. I won't change the Registry until i see if I get a form from
you.

I tried it and it seems to have worked for me.

After submitting, I looked in my Sent Items, folder, and this is what
was in the body:

Name=Mike
Street_Address=testing your mailto link sd requested
Full_Postcode=
Country=
Telephone=
E-mail=
Membership.x=12
Membership.y=8

Which is what I filled out.

And you'll see if you look at the message source of the message, that
I'm using:

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3028

Thank you Michael

Your result is the same as other people! I thought that it was working, as I
still get people asking to be a new member.

I have read the article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317104 and looked
at my registry. The entry for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail shows
(Default) REG_SZ Outlook Express.

Do I have to remove the entire text HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail
or what?

By the way, I have since remembered that when I first installed the OS etc
MSN Explorer was run. I never use it and have removed all the Start and
Programme shortcuts. It is still in the Programmes folder though.

In the left pane you have (with other entries left out):
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Software
- Clients
- Mail
Highlight Mail, then right click it and select Delete

Before you do that, I have few thoughts.

I presume that you've looked at your message in the Sent Items folder
and seen that the information is missing there, so that the information
never made it to Outlook Express from Internet Explorer rather than
being removed during the send process from Outlook Express to the mail
server.

Have you installed any Internet Security/Privacy software? Some of
those, such as Norton, have an option to filter out personal
information. Possibly such a program is stripping the data from the
form as a privacy issue.

As for the registry key, I looked in mine, and although I have

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\

I have no HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients, let alone the mail
section.
