Thanks, I was afraid of that! I am sure you are correct. I do remember a long time ago when I was using the Netscape browser and E-mail this was not a problem. If this is happening to many viewing those pages how could I possibly explain that? Even so I am sure they would not wish to change their E-mail or default browser to Netscape. Just as I would not even consider changing from Outlook Express back to Netscape E-mail.

I have used a Mickey Mouse solution by putting the actual email address, rather than a link, and asking them to cut and paste if it does not work with their browser. There must be a better way!

Thank you for your assistance.

PS: This does not happen when using IE as your browser and Netscape is your E-mail reader. It first opens a Netcape browser and then the blank Netscape E-mail form for you to use. If Netscape would fix theirs we would be fine!
