Some people have a very cool mailto:xx...@xxx.xxx in the sig file
(or wherever) that lets you click on the line for a reply or for calling up a
web browser. I have yet to see this in a FAQ or help.

Can someone point to the info on how to do this ?

Thank you !

Just type the Mailto:Add...@anyplace.com without a single space
between the Mailto: and the address section.

Then make sure to enable the "clickable links" under File | Preferences
| Clickable links (Enable display clickable links (URLS) in Reader)
And you're set to go!

Have a nice day!

Type mailto:tpo...@tedshome.com and send the mail. When is is
received, clicking the line will activate the new mail.

Simple, in your sig. file just type in the text anywhere as follows:

Ted Potter mailto:tpo...@tedshome.com

And for those who's email clients support active links - they can
double click on it and it will open a new window with your email
address automatically in the to: field.
