SEND LINK doesn't work.

I used to use "send link" a lot in Firefox. It used to work just fine. I use Eudora 7 as my mail program. It is the default program. I'm in XP. I think it was with one upgrade that "send link" stopped working. You click on it and nothing happens. It used to open up an email window with the URL in the body. That doesn't work anymore. I've been everywhere and done everything to get the feature back, but nothing brings it back. What do I need to do? The suggestion to use ADD/REMOVE doesn't work. Eudora is not on the list of programs. My wife has the same computer, same configuration, and same email program. Her's works. Mine doesn't. What can I do? Can you include an add-on or fix for this?

Try Tools > Options > Applications > mailto: ...

Choose your mail program or choose other and add it, that should be real easy since you can check to see what your wife has..

Never understood why send link was important when you could

  • send the title and url of several pages, or
  • the Title, quotation, and url of current page, or
  • a selection of urls from the page

into the clipboard and then paste into an email, so the person knows what they would be looking at when title and description are included.
