In trying to set up a Firefox mailtoWebmails Add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mailtowebmails/?src=search) I don't know exactly how to create the URL string to do the following: 1. Open in a new window instead of replacing current BVC page 2. Populate the correct email address, subject line, and name like it did in my Windows Live Mail client, with TO address, Subject line, Customer's name in body. The string I tried was http://mail2.cncwebnet.n.../frmCompose.aspx/?To=%s. This does bring me to SmarterMail and generates an email, but it replaces the current BVC page and populates the TO line with: mailto: customeremail@email.com?subject=Kataaro%20Order%2019630&body=CYNTHIA,; Can I add something to the string to get this to work correctly? TKatch attached the following image(s):  Email.gif (242kb) downloaded 1 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

Hopefully this will get your pointed in the right direction... - You could try adding target="_blank" to the <a> tag. That's how you would tell a regular link to pop a new tab/window. Not sure if that will work with your browser extension, though...
- For this you will probably need to find out what SmarterMail supports.

Thanks. It looks like I have bigger problems other than opening up in a new window. The SmarterMail client will not work with MAILTO links and does not populate the fields properly. So much for "smarter".
