I've changed everything you suggested...now I get this message when
attempting to send this link from IE: Windows Live Mail immediately
opens...just AT&T Yahoo Mail to be the one default???


The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's
e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'slcrac@ameritech.net'.

Subject 'RockBuilt Lofts'
Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 authentication required - for help go to
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/ds...op/pop-11.html
Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
