In the past when I saw an article that I wanted to email to myself, I would click on the envelop icon and it would go to “choose and application to open the mail to link” I would choose if I remember correctly Yahoo and it would open up.

Now the only choice I have if Firefox, and when I click on it nothing happens. What is the problem?

Under”Choose other Applications”, there is nothing to forward that article to me.

mailto options is a Win O/S command. Did you verify that it was working or the setting was set?

Hello,

Thank you for the response.

I'm not sure how to verify that it was working or the setting was set.

You'll want to do a online search of Windows mailto settings so you can see where to check your settings.

On the menu bar menu there is File > Email link. If you don't have the menu bar showing, use alt+f > Email link. If you are referring to mailto see this article and the linked thread.
