Hi Kynn Yes I see it in Opera, under File, Preferences, Email As for whether this is a real problem or a theoretical one, I am not sure. I personally find it annoying when my browser chooses to launch an email client I don't use (I use web based email), but alternatively in this response http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2001AprJun/0621.html Miraz says she doesn't like form based 'email'. But these are basically only annoyances that impact on usability. I have to make recommendations for the best way to get site feedback in terms of accessibility, so I am on an intelligence gathering exercise. The way mailto links are implemented on most sites I have seen does seem to be a breach of checkpoint 10.1 because they don't contain a warning that the current window is about to change.
