Hello, I have noticed in the last year the Mail Toolbar menu on MSIEv.6 is
not fully functional. I can still Read Mail and News because it launches MSOEv.6; but I cannot start a New Message, send a Link, or Send Page from MSIE browser. It is simply being blocked. why? Is there a hotfix? Also, the one time freedom there is now an online email harvester for most "content" on Internet like newspapers and magazines etc. All these companies do with your email address is send spam. |

Hi Frank,
No, I have not upgraded to MSIE7 yet. Is this the problem? I also thought it was still a beta. Will it work with win98? When you say the Page Icon, are you referring to the small pop up that allows ~four selections of which one is email. This only comes up with pictures. I did not use it much. Yesterday I tried to send an article to someone from NYT. The NYT wanted me register email address etc. There was time early on the Internet that people would do that, but not nowadays. I tried to send a link to this article and no go. Then I copy & pasted the link in MSOEv.6 and still no go. I finally used a webmail and copy & pasted it and it went. It is proprietary material but I only referenced the link. This use to work almost seamlessly, now.... "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Jim" wrote in message ...

The final version of IE7 has been out for some time now, but it's not
available for Win98. You need XP or newer. For your problem with mail button in IE, see: OLEXP: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work with Outlook Express http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 If that doesn't help, then also see: Problems Using Outlook Express and Prodigy Version 5 Software (Send Page, Send Link, New Mail Message from IE) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=248005 Although the article mentions Prodigy software, the problem is not unique to that software. You mentioned "Then I copy & pasted the link in MSOEv.6 and still no go". What exactly happened? Did you start a message in OE, then do a copy/paste from the IE address line into the OE message body? -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Jim" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately, I am not that wealthy to go out and buy a new machine. You
may have touched on the problem of OLE and ActiveX for all windows. I have my browser set with custom security settings. The answer to your last question is yes.

Would the check box on ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms, at bottom, "Internet
Explore should check to see if it is the default browser"? I do use other browsers from time to time. |

I checked the registry for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Outlook
Express In this position there are some more subdirectories, three exactly. level. envelope, protocols, shell envelope. CLSID, CurVer protocols. mailto DefaultIcon Shell open command. "C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:%1 Shell. open command. "C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" It is not exactly how the writer describes. The DLLpath is at level OE in first string. C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSOE.DLL "Jim" wrote in message ...

That setting would apply in going from a link in your mail program to
your browser. So if you receive an e-mail in Outlook Express with a link and click the link, your default browser will open it. Your issue is going in the reverse direction from IE to your mail program. And for that, you default mail program comes into play. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Jim" wrote in message ...

ok.
Sometimes I use other browser technologies like FireFox 2.0 etc..Could this be the check box in IEv.6 that asks "should IE check to see if it is still the default..."? This is in ToolsInternet Optionsprograms tab, at bottom of the dialogue box. "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ...

Im sorry I guess I said same thing over.
This is IEMail program, and I have had ThunderBird as a default once but not currently. The present default Mail Program is MSOEv.6. "Jim" wrote in message ... ok.
