Tweaking Email Options - OE6 to Yahoo!?

    I, at one time (years ago), was using something called "YPOPS" to tie-in "Thunderbird" (OE substitute) and my Yahoo! email account.

    I would like to do this again - but is anyone familiar with this "YPOPS" thing and/or know of any drawbacks to/with it?

    Thanks

    PS - What I'd mainly like to be able to do, when I visit a web-page, is to click on the standard/usual "Email" link (or, "email this to a friend" link), say on an MSN or Yahoo! web-page for instance, and have my Yahoo! Email account simply "appear" (as the "default" client), rather than or as opposed to OE6 popping-up, and then having to go back and copy/paste what I want to send into my Yahoo! account.

    If you are using FF and can wait until Tuesday it may be built into the new version being released. FF Release

    Yes, I am very much using FF (and can certainly wait until Tue.). This would be FF 3.0 - correct? Isn't it already out? And if it's beta, well, that always spooks me a bit when it comes to my browser ... I've tried-out some beta programs, but tend to be leery/standoff-ish with beta browser's ... that's just me.

    Thank you very much for the info! ;)

    Firefox iirc remove the icon for email and just left a right click context menu option for Send Link which used whatever email application is set at defualt, but does not account for online mail.

    However try this and it will work in the soon to be released Firefox 3 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3102
