SETTING UP "MAILTO" LINKS


Mailto links set up a convenient way for your viewers to communicate with people associated with your website. This communication is particularly important for the person managing the website.  NOTE: This command will not work for all your users.  Each user's email program (like Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger) must be set to send email for that person.  This command will not activate a Web mail account.  A mailto link will not work on our lab computers!

Your hotspot can be any combination of text, table, and/or image file.
Place your mouse pointer over these items to identify the mailto: link.
