Hello,

I am using K-Meleon 75.1 under Windows 7.

When I click on an e-mail address on a webpage (mailto, I get an error page saying:

File not found
The file mailto:xxx@yyy.zz could not be found.
Please check and try again.

Doing the same with other browsers (Firefox, IE), my standard mail client opens without problem.



I googled the topic, but could not find a solution.


Thanks for your help!

oops, the smiley was not intended, I meant ( mailto: )

Protocols, and mailto: is a protocol, are based on Windows settings (registry) and options (control panel (somthing like default programs and applications if I'm not wrong)).

Make sure you have set your mail client from the control panel. After that the registry entry should be [re-]created and enabled the mailto protocol again.

If still doesn't work, open about:preferences and check for the applications section what action is set for mailto inside the browser settings.

Try the macro written by siria described and published here

Some other methods are described in another thread
