Ok-kinda hard to explain, but Im gonna try my best
For example, if I am on a site and it has an email link, and I click on it, it will say something about mail default client....yadda yadda. I am lost as to what it means, and it is quite annoying! Any clues as to what it is?

Yes, this can be quite confusing. Basically it is looking for your default email application such as outlook, outlook express, etc. If you do not use those, but instead use webmail like hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc; then what you will have to do is right-click on the link, select Copy email address, or copy link (depending on the browser you use). Then in your webmail, go to compose and in the send or To area, rightclick and select paste (ctrl + V also works). if it keeps the mailto: portion of the link, just highlight that and delete it. Make sure that only the email address is in that line for it to be able to send properly.
