Have you tried Snip IT?

Here is a link that might be useful: Snip IT

Hi,
I haven't tried Snip IT? Is it hard to configure? Isn't there another way I can try first without having to download another program? I CAN change it to the yahoo email but I would prefer the comcast email and of course comcast isn't listed in the drop down box to make a selection from. Thank you.

I think you are basically wanting to change your default email client correct? so that anytime you click on one of those mailto links it goes to that email client?

click Start>click set program Access and Defaults>Custom>choose default email, select the one you want, click ok.

you can add other email clients by going to start>control panel> mail> click add then add your email. ok

should anyone want to change their default search engine in IE7 here is a handy link for that.

ravencajun,
Followed all of your paths. I just don't see any way to make Comcast the one I want. Thanks.

Other than perhaps a convenience reason, is there any other reason why a simple copy and paste of a URL into the message body of your desired e-mail client not resolve your concern?

DA

did you add comcast email to the add list on the mail option?

I have not used IE in years and I know IE 7 has some differences but I looked around and did see some responses for IE 7 using that method. But IE 7 is so flaky in a lot of areas and different than IE 6 nothing would surprise me.

DA,
No, there is no reason other than convenience why I couldn't copy and paste, I just wanted the computer to work the way I wanted it to and be able to take advantage of that feature. For now, its copy and paste or just use the Yahoo email for this function. I don't know if Snip IT will do it either.

sapphires if your comcast is not shown in the drop down list that is when you have to go to the mail option as I posted above, there you will see a space where you type in your comcast mail then you hit the add button and ok that should then add your comcast to the list.
you can add other email clients by going to start>control panel> mail icon double click to open> in the space provided put in your comcast> hit add button> ok

You could also set up Comcast mail in Outlook Express and use the default that IE wants to use.

I use netscape.net (AOL) and comcast.net. When I compose in Comcast, type in a URL and send to my Netscape email it shows up as a clickable URL, for example - after typing http://www.ebay.com. However, when I type the same when using Netscape/AOL and sending it to my Comcast email it does not work. Check this. On the Comcast email, click Preferences, then Display. That gets two choices. The second one - Choose how to display email messages -- allows you to select Display HTML in body of email. See if that works.
