Why do I get an error message that says "your email address has not been specified" when I try to use an email link on a web page?

On most web pages, you will run across email links that, when selected, send an email. In order to use this function however, you must setup your browser to recognize your email address. Your address will then appear as the From section of the email.

Below are quick directions on how to set up your Netscape 4 browser (directions to set up other browsers will vary).
Within Netscape, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
1.On left side of the pop up screen, select Mail & Groups and then select Identity.
2.To the right, fill out your name and email address within the form and click OK.
3.Your name and email will remain in the browser's preferences until you manually delete them or uninstall Netscape.
