    Copying EMAIL link to Web Browser for Testing ??


    I never click on an EMAIL link.
    I just copy them to the browser address block to see and them possibly execute to go to that link location.

    -----------------
    QUESTION
    -----------------
    1) Is this OK or am I still opening myself up to get infected?
    2) What is the best way to test the link without getting infected ?

    Thanks
    David

    Windows 10 EMAIL APP when I clik on a email LINK in a web site/page,

    "unlike Win 7, it does not open my browser, open my YAHOO email link, then PASTE the email address in that link in the COMPOSE box. ONE STEP, IT DOES ALL THE WORK."

    What email client were you using in 7, Live Mail, Outlook or other ? On Windows 10 Mail app, the address link will open in your preferred email client. On mine, it opens in Thunderbird. Start with Settings/Apps/Default apps to see that the base settings are correct. If so, then dig deeper by following dalchina's settings advice.
    But If you want to do this entirely on your browser, why not just read and write your yahoo! email on your web browser ? IE: Open browser, open yahoo! mail, click address or web links in message to compose, DONE. Or are you saying clicking an address link on a web page doesn't open yahoo! mail ? If that's the case, it's your browser settings.

    Callender: Thanks for responding.
    Really appreciate the links.
    Why M$ doesn't have this built in is beyond me unless Defender is verifying it during email download.
