When I click on a website's email link, say, in Opera 7.xx, it opens NS
Messenger but not a new mail window. What I have in Opera's Email
Preferences is "D:\Program
Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe" -mail. I posted this
elsewhere and someone suggested that it was more likely a Windows DDE issue
than a Netscape or Opera one. Anyone explain? Thanks,

Hi,

Use as an example: Check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command

Default for OE should read like this:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msimn.exe" /mailurl:%1

Your DDE settings can be checked here as well: Windows Explorer/
Tools/Folder Options/File Types/URL: HyperText..../Advanced/Edit
