[conspire] Properly configured email program?

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Paul Zander (paulz at ieee.org):

> What is "configured properly"?  

Just off the top of my head:

When you 'have your browser configured properly' to process e-mail
generated by a Web form, that means the Web browser knows what to do
with a 'mailto:' hyperlink.  This feature, which in Firefox you can find
on Preferences, Applications, mailto, is primarily intended to declare
what external e-mail program should be passed that mail data.  

To declare a Web-based email facility as the mailto handler is trickier.
Here is an example explanation using GMail:

There seem to be a variety of techniques, and some built-in facilities
for this sort of thing in Firefox 3 and above.  You should start by
searching for the name of your webmail facility plus 'mailto'.
