using email addr as link
We have a site that includes the possiblity of adding employment opportunities and I have modified my setup (links.def) so a user can use an email address as the link (some of our users do not have http pages). This all works quite well except when I click on a link that uses an email address, I get a blank page and then a window from my default email client (OE) so I can write the owner of the link a message. The problem is the blank page since I have had reports from some users who only get the blank page. I assume that is because they have not specified a default email client.

What I would like to do is to generate on the fly (if possible) or via nph-build a page with a message to the effect that this is an email only link and that the reader should open their email client to write to the link owner.

I haven't found any way of doing this. Is it possible?

TIA

Bob
