Thanks...Yes, I did see your message concerning using yahoo webmail via my
browser. Those instructions are apparently written for XP because I can no
longer locate/pull down the mail option (per these instructions). I know what
I'm looking for because I've used it on my old XP. Let me be clear again:
I am fine using Yahoo mail with my IE browser...no problems there.
I don't want WML or WM to open when I want to email from an open browswer
window. Infact, I don't want to use either of these programs at all.
Sounds simple but obviously it's not. Can you still suggest something?
