Mailto tag appears in yahoo mail

If I go to a website (my own or others),
and click on a link that uses the "mailto" tag,
and have Firefox use my existing Yahoo Mail account
as my e-mail application,
then the word "mailto:" (without the quotes) will appear
in the "To" name, along with the desired e-mail address
(e.g., "mailto:[email protected]" (without the double-quotes)).
This will not work when I attempt to send the message;
in other words, I have to manually remove the "mailto:" tag,
which shouldn't be there in the first place.
Feel free to contact me for more info,
answer questions, beta test, etc.
Thank you for your time.

I do not use any Firefox or third-party toolbars, so that is not the issue. It's just something about the mailto tag with Yahoo mail, if not other web-based e-mails. And, as far as I know, it doesn't matter whether you use the classic or newer version of Yahoo mail.

  • Error 1009 appears in Yahoo Mail.

    Error 1009 appears in Yahoo Mail.
    I don't understand the forum answers that I've read related to this error message.  Most of them imply that the person with the error is designing a project.  I'm NOT on a project using Adobe Flash or anything like that.
    The error message simply apprears when I click on an email message in Yahoo Maill.  What can I do to fix this error?
    Thanks.

    If you are not creating the file that is producing that message, there is nothing you can do about it.  It is an error within a Flash file that needs to be corrected by whoever designed the file.

  • Yahoo Mail Plus - Push experiences?

    Has anybody here had contact with Apple/Yahoo regarding the ability to mave a Mail Plus account and push? I was told by Yahoo customer service that I could have a Plus account and Push email, but this is in conflict with others' observations. Somebody from Apple is also working on this, but I haven't heard anything back in a couple days. (That's pretty normal for Yahoo, but Apple is usually very good about getting things resolved or at least keeping me updated.)
    I have a Mail Plus account that does push, albeit very infrequently, and never reliably. I'm generally required to manually refresh since there is no option to periodically poll. I have full access to all of my folders, etc... and everything works as it should except for the lack of push.

    I figured out a way to get Yahoo mail to push to the iPhone consistently. It appears that Yahoo Mail Beta is causing the problem. I was only getting 10% of the emails pushed to me, but when I switched my mail back to Yahoo Mail classic (you can do this by clicking on a link at the top of your email screen when logged into directly to the webmail application), I have now gotten 100% of my mail pushed for two days solid. You just need to login and change to Yahoo Mail classic, and then delete your Yahoo account on your iPhone, recreate it, and reboot the iPhone.

  • Gmail not being received by BT Yahoo mail.

    I use BT yahoo mail as a 'filter' and for accessing my mail while travelling. One of my friends has a gmail.com e-mail address, and his messages never appear in BT yahoo mail. I got back from travelling last week, and found when opening Outlook Express a series of increasingly frantic messages which hadn't appeared in Yahoo mail for over a week since he sent the first one.
    Anything I can try before contacting BT support?
    Solved!

    No it doesn't appear anywhere in Bt Yahoo. Like I said in my OP, I got home and found on Outlook Express an e-mail sent 10 days previously which was never shown in BT Yahoo, and still isn't, in any folder.
    Tech support have 'escalated' my issue and are going to ring me!
    Sorry it's not clear, did you get him to send another email today to try out what I suggested? 

  • Have windows 7 w/email address, click on address & firefox says email default not set properly, i say ok, it transfers the email address to yahoo mail, but it always has firefoxhtml after it & i have to delete that portion, help

    I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • When clicking on an email address in a website, and Yahoo web mail is the default mail client, the TO address is prepended with the "mailto:" tag, and of course bounces. Why and what to do about it?

    In a website, when an email link is clicked, the "mailto:email@address" tag is called, which opens the default mail client.
    A friend has Yahoo web mail as his default mail client. When he clicks on such an email link in a website, the TO address appears in the new email form prepended with the "mailto:" tag, as in mailto:[email protected] This of course bounces.
    I don't use web mail, so can't help him, but maybe you can provide a reason or a cure for this. Thank you.

  • I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
    The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
    The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

  • Yahoo Mail On iPad - Attachments Appearing As Question Marks

    A relative of mine has a Yahoo! Mail account which she uses for e-mail on her iPad.
    She's had a problem recently that some of the attachments (JPGs) she's received haven't appeared in the Mail app on the iPad. Instead, they've shown up as question marks in boxes.
    Anyone heard of this happening before? What's going wrong?

    Your yahoo password is the same no matter what platform you access it on.
    How are you trying to get at your mail? via the mail app? yahoo app? or via yahoo's mobile site and safari?
    Try going into the settings, safari, passwords and autofill.
    look for the site in question and tap on it. You may need to enter your passcode to access the info, but once you do you can see the password you used for that site.
    On the main page that lists them all, you can see an 'edit' option. Choose that and you shoudl be able to delete the saved password for the site.

  • Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
    Many thanks

    I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
    BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
    For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
    I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

  • Sent emails from Yahoo or iphone dont appear in sent mail folder on MacBook

    Please can someone help? My email account is with Yahoo mail (free one); I can send and receive emails without a problem from Mail on my MacBook. However If i send an email from a browser session in Yahoo mail then the sent email does not appear in my Mail sent folder. Likewise i can send and receive emails on my iphone but the sent emails do not appear in either my Yahoo Sent folder or my Mail sent folder.

    that's because yahoo only offers POP access. that's a limitation of POP. it only downloads your inbox messages from the server. it does not do any kind of syncing and it does not download or up load sent messages. if you want that you need to switch to an email provider that offers IMAP (yahoo doesn't). IMAP syncs everything with the server so you'll get the same mailboxes contents everywhere you access that account.

  • In Yahoo Mail thumbnail photos appear broken in email messages

    I cannot view thumbnail photos in email messages that have photo attachments in my Yahoo Mail. The thumbnail appears as a broken image. When I click on the thumbnail it does open up a valid photo image.
    The problem occurs all the time in every email that has a thumbnail photo in it. It occurs in not only the Yahoo New Mail version but also in the Yahoo Classic Mail version.
    I have tried opening the email with both the Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, but the thumbnails appear broken when viewing the Yahoo Mail in both browsers. I am using Firefox 10.0 and Google Chrome 11.0 on a PC using Windows XP.
    I have a screenshot of how the broken thumbnails appear in the message if you want to see it.
    (It seems like the problem started with my upgrade to the Firefox 10.0 browser.)

    I've contacted yahoo on this same thing and it is them not your browser. I've tried in IE and Firefox and only get a generic thumbnail and if you click on slideshow you get black screen for each image.
    Stewart: I have checked and found that this is a technical issue going at our end.
    Stewart: Our Engineering team is already working on the resolution now and we intend to have it corrected as soon as possible.
    Stewart: The ticket number for this issue is 4904203.
    Doesn't look like they are in a hurry to fix the issue, can't believe more people haven't complained. It's been weeks for me and still doesn't work
