O.P. mailto: links broken
Whenever I click on a mailto: link my computer freezes for a couple of minutes, then an error box appears saying "The default mail client is not correctly installed". I then have to click OK and loads of Internet Explorer windows open, all saying 'Action Cancelled'.
This is really annoying if I accidently click a link and my computer freezes up since theres nothing I can do but wait it out :(

It happens when I click a link in both Firefox and IE. As far as I know, my 'default mail client' is Outlook Express. I tried installing Thunderbird and made that my default mail client, and it still doesn't work :(

Anyone know what I can do to help?
Or is there anyway to disable mailto: links completely since I use an online mail service,  and therefore the links aren't much use anyway.
