There is an email option to send out general messages but it looks for the default email program. Windows 7 does not have outlook, I use gmail. How can I make that the default email so I can use this in amazing charts.

I am not at all sure, but it seems it would be difficult to do that with web-based email. You could always use Windows Mail or some other app-based program.

many ways to make gmail your default mail app.

You can edit the Registry. fun fun, unless you know what you are doing, avoid this one. I know its "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" some place where "mailto" is listed.

or easier..

Install Gmail Notifier, or Google Talk, they have options in them to make all "mailto:" links open up webmail

Affixa is another software that will help.

If you google it, there are a million hits.. try this link, under google forums.

That sounds pretty cool. I knew as soon as I wrote it would be rather difficult, someone would come up with a way.

Is there a way to have it open up updox?

of course..

JayA: I would assume using the registry trick you could tell it to open up anything.

Yea, I got it to work with outlook web access. That took a while.
