how do you set it to a yahoo account?
I didn't know people still used Yahoo mail. How is it in the 90's.
All jokes aside I Googled it, and found an the answer:
1. Go to Tools -> Options.
2. Click on Applications tab icon.
3. Locate and click to highlight mailto Content Type, and at the corresponding drop down box of Action, select Use Yahoo! Mail.
4. Click OK.
It's actually easier than setting Google, go figure.
Thanks for the Yahoo!-tip.
