I cant seem to compose a message anymore when I press on a mailto: link. If I click on [mailto:info@blah.com](mailto:info@blah.com) my IE opens Hotmail as default. What used to happen was it redirects me to my Inbox but now it just comes up an 404 error. I have this as the address: [http://www.hotmail.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=stone@stoneyboy.com](http://www.hotmail.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=stone@stoneyboy.com)

^ that page wont redirect me to my Inbox page. Could I get some assistance please.

_(click on the mailto link now and see if it redirects you to your Hotmail inbox page, mine just says the page cannot be found)._
