I am running on a Windows 10 desktop using Firefox. I am the web developer. We have a link like this: &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:lit@lakos.com<wbr />&quot;&gt;lit@lako<wbr />s.com&lt;/a&gt;.<wbr /><br />
<br />
When I first clicked this link it gave me a choice of like 5 things, none of which was applicable. So I chose the most generic sounding one, now I get the attached.<br />

I have no clue what that is &amp;&nbsp;I don't want to know. I use gmail. Why am I forced into some other mail system?<br />
<br />
Is there a way around this?<br />

Thanks<br />

Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
