Another problem caused by the dreadful Windows 8. When I try to send a link by email W8 sends me to Mail. How can I get back to the way of doing things in Window 7 which let me use Outlook? Sorry, I don't understand the articles on this question. I solve the problem by copying the URL and pasting it into Outlook, but this seems rather cumbersome.

Very nice. Check out Firefox Options > Applications. Look for Mailto or something like that. Mine is set to; Use Windows Live Mail.

Thanks, Fred. You solved part of the problem in that I can now send links without using any MS app, but when I use Google Mail no reference appears in Outlook. On my Mac sent links appear immediately in my "Sent" folder in Mail. Yet another Windows 8 poke in the eye for long-term Windows users, I guess.
