Comcast Email or Windows Email?

Hi Friends, I'm signed up with Comcast internet, tv & phone. All is well when
I go to read & send mail through Comcast. I've recently been trying to send
resume's that I've created in documents & when I go to send them to these
"Craiglist employer's, it only brings up Windows mail, in which I've never
set up an account & shows an error in transmitting. Can someone tell me how
to handle this? Should I have 2 email accounts for these situations? I can
figure most things out but this one has me stumped! Thanks to anyone who can
help me.

Re: Comcast Email or Windows Email?

When you click on an email link on a webpage, Vista will open the email
program that has been assigned to be the default program for "mailto:"
links.

This is normally Windows Mail on a Vista computer.

How do you normally access your Comcast email?

Re: Comcast Email or Windows Email?

Although you can set up your Comcast account in Windows Mail, it is not
necessary. Instead of clicking on the Craigslist link, copy and paste it
into your Comcast webmail.

When you click on a MailTo link on a web page, Windows calls up the
default mail handler. Unfortunately, webmail is not capable of seizing the
default mail handler. If you want, you can set up a mail account in
Windows Mail by following these instructions:
