Hi  
  On  the  web  I  often  see
 
In  the  contact  section   click  here  to  e  mail
 
I  click,  and  a  Yahoo  page  comes  up  but  there's
No  address  in  the  address  box.
 
About  a  month  ago  I  changed  over  to  Yahoo
Before  that   I  think  outlook  express  was  coming  up
 
I  changed  over  to  e  mail
How  I  did  this  I ve  forgotten
 
But  anyway,  the  Yahoo  page  is  coming  up   but
No  e  mail  addy
Any  suggestions  ?
Thanks  for  comments

Can you send us a link to the page you're referring to that has the "click here to email" link on it?
 
Also, when you say "I changed over to e mail", what do you mean?

You may have set your default e-mail to Yahoo, but I don't think e-mail links will work with Yahoo since you have to log in first.

There's  lots  of  web  sites  have  this  facility
 
If  you  want  to  contact  them   you  click   e  mail
 
And  for  me   a  window  came  up  that  was  outlook  express
 
I  discovered  that  you   could  change  this
 
Maybe  I  went  to   tools    int  options  then
Programmes    and    changed  to  Yahoo  e  mail
 
I  can t  remember.
 
(  I'm  using  int  explorer )
 
 
Now  when  Im  on  a  web  site  and  go  for  the  e  mail
The  Yahoo  page  comes  up  to  send  e  mail  but  there's
No  address

Like I said, the nature of Yahoo is such that it may not be able to pick up the address from the MailTo link. Outook Express since, it's a e-mail client, can do it.

Yahoo! Used to have a program called Essentials that would enable a Yahoo! Mail option for your default mail.  However, Essentials is no longer available, and they seem to have abandoned this capability altogether.  Perhaps there was a legal reason for doing so.

Scott's said what's wrong (welcome back btw) and here's how to set the default email client back to Outlook Express:
 
From Internet Explorer go to Tools >> Internet Options
Click on the "Programs" tab
Change the email program to what ever you want it to be.
