Hey gang,

You know how IE has that great e-mail button in the toolbar that will open the client's default email program? Well, I need to duplicate that functionality in a button on one of my asp pages. Any idea how I could do this.

I know what you're thinking: why not just use the one on the tool bar! The user, though, doesn't want their employees to have access to it, but there does need to be a button available for it, so I need to create a custom one.

Thanks guys,

Jack
 
if you use the &quot;mailto:&quot; link option, it should open up the user's default mail program. <a href=&quot;mailto:someone@abc.com&quot;>Click here to mail to someone@abc.com</a>
