1. welcome to the LEIA forums.

2. you must wait some time (have some patience) for an answer. this is not a chat style thing where someone is online at all times or something. everyone is in a different time zone and may take a bit of time to answer.

3. the correct coding would be something like...
<a href="mailto:yourid@somedomain.com"> your name </a>
if that does not work, please show us the page you are working on. something else may be affecting it.

4. using an email link will open the default email program that is in your own personal settings of your browser. each visitor will have their own default email program open for them depending on their settings.

good luck!

the reason it's not using outlook express is because your internet settings are set so that say your email is Yahoo, that yahoo is your default email. Rather than Outlook. To change that go to Tools at the very top of any internet exporer window and hit internet options. From there, go to the Programs tab on the top. And then change the Email section to Outlook

the page you linked to does not contain any mailto links, so i cannot see the problem in action.

as stated before (and re-ittereated by punkycake for some reason), it comes down to personal option settings.

okay... let's say you have a page all about you... you will make it and save it as you.html... then you will on your main page or wherever you want the link to be put this code <a href="http://animegamer.bravehost.com/you.html">about me</a> and the person veiwing your site will see "about me" but when they click on it, it will take them to your "you.html" page.
