Consistantly getting message ref NS7 not my default mail.......It was ? Cant find reason for unexpected change in status.
Once again please help...ROBIN

 

Hi ROBINT,

I'm sure you have all these settings in place:

Edit | Preferences | Advanced | System
Check http: and https:
Under protocols check HTML under file types

Edit | Preferences | Navigator
Netscape is set as the Default Browser

Edit | Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings
Set as Default

Let us know,

Ramona

 

Hi ROBINT,

One other place to check, that I found in some of my notes:

Open Windows Explorer, click the VIEW menu|FOLDER OPTIONS|FILE TYPES tab
and see if there's a URL:MAILTO PROTOCOL listing.

If so, select it and click on EDIT. Point the path to NS7.0 instead of 4.x.

AND

Even though HTTP is enabled in Preferences, You might want to check Registered File Types. In mine, I noted that URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol pointed to Communicator 4.79, so I redirected it to Netscape 7.0. Even though I am having no problems now, I'm thinking that this may prevent future problems.

Once again the day is saved!!!!
The first set of hints put me right..
I never did try the second suggestion as I could not locate Registered File types
I do believe the Florida Sun|Heat is getting to me........TNXS

 

Hi ROBINT,

Good to hear your problem is solved!

I should have been more clear on the File Types. Registered File Types = the list of file types, that you can view in Windows Explorer, which associates programs with file types.

Open Windows Explorerer
Click on View
Click on Folder Options
Click on File Types
