Thanks Wulf,


A question or two about your advice above.
1. I got into "about:config ok but can't find any trace of

network.protocol-handler.app.mailto

Where is it?

2. I found the line  "network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto" and it is set to "false" do I just select the line with the mouse LC and select toggle? or 3 below.

3. Do I have to enter a text editor and if so how.

Clark.
