I e-mailed contactus; possibly in the future the mailto link will be replaced by an online form instead of opening your default e-mail application...

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:16

I've got yahoo and googlemail - but neither of them show in internet options.

I have hotmail too but its sh*te Grin

spacedonkey · 21/04/2006 13:17

Jools, you need \link{http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-09.html\this} and then you will be able to make Yahoo your default if you want to.

And \link{http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/Mail-Utilities/Gmail-Notifier.shtml\this} is the one for Gmail.

I am being very dim but when I clicked on "report this post" it came up with my Googlemail inbox

I don't understand how it works

OO-er Georgie - ta very much but what exactly am I doing with them?! Grin

I have g-mail notifier already that tells me when I get an email - will this programme add gmail to internet options?

spacedonkey · 21/04/2006 13:28

lol kanga, at least you've worked out how to make googlemail your default email client!

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:28

kanga - how did it go to your googlemail Shock?

SaintGeorge · 21/04/2006 13:29

I assume so Jools, but I don't have google mail so I can't check.

That was installed beforehand Smile

But I am still confused what I do now

Why doesn't it do an automatic email addressing thingy??????

RTKangaMummy · 21/04/2006 13:31

I have no idea really

But why to my INBOX?????????

It will Kanga, but for security you have to log into your email.

If you click the button it takes you to your default email programme, in your case you have to then sign in.

As soon as you sign in it will automatically start and address an email to MNHQ, with a link to the exact post you want to report.

You can either just send the email as it is or you can add further comments at the bottom.

Doh - ignore that, completely misread that it goes to your inbox.

i think it is absolutely dreadful and whilst in no way flouncing (you wish) it puts me right off mumsnet.

I honestly don't understand why people have such a problem with the principle of this.

No offence, I just don't get it.

OP posts:
JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:34

Ah - have just tested it - although gmail doesn't show in Internet Options it IS now my default email.

Don't know why I'm bothering with this - can't see me reporting anyone! Grin

JoolsToo · 21/04/2006 13:35

I'm with you SG! I don't get it either.

RTKangaMummy · 21/04/2006 13:36

IMHO it is correct to have the words cos otherwise in a few weeks time

People will have missed it's launch and not understand what the symbol is for and so we will have endless threads asking and explaining it IYSWIM
