Done that all - Spoke to IT ( Our IT is all young guys - Microsoft )-
and others whom " All gave a blank stare after a initial expression of
horror crossed there face " when hearing the question.
I am busy looking into the GroupWise - Mailto situation. Thanks for
that advice.
My last job involved some work with GroupWise, and I think that it's
not
going to be simple. In fact, I think that what you're trying to do
might not
technically be possible. The e-mail client has to be specified in the
browser settings. (In IE, see Tools>Internet Options>Programs to see
what I
mean) That's what makes the mailto link work. So, unless you could get
IT to
change those settings on each individual computer...
Beyond that, I don't even know if GroupWise supports mailto.
It doesn't look good. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Subject: New Question - Email in HTML File for Feedback.
In Our RoboHelp Html Project (Draft) on the Intro Page we have
provided
a Email address for Feedback.
(Previous mails on - Apathy regards users and others) So that they can
- with minimum effort - put in comments /feedback.
( href="mailto:girls=evil -at- tecom -dot- com">Email reply to :</a> )
Which works well when Outlook is the default mailer. ( Have received
some very good feedback this way.
BUT
Our problem is most of our user have GroupWise and Not Outlook
installed / or enabled.
Does anyone know, or can they assist , or advise me / us in setting it
up so that it will default to GroupWise.
Or as most things is that not as easy ?
