Using OpenOffice.org 1.1.5, I exported a SXW file (writer) to PDF. I have
done this a couple of times before with great result, but this time the
original document contained a "mailto:"; link. I was very surprised that this
link didn't work when I viewed the PDF with Adobe Reader. Isn't that
supposed to work or am I missing something? Nothing happens when I click the
link. The link works perfectly in OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 when viewing the SXW
file. Or at least it did before I reinstalled Windows last time. Now it
displays a message telling me that I can't send email since no email program
was configured for sending
email by Internet shortcuts. Is this something I forgot to set in my
Windows system? I looked in Writer's Tools-Options dialog but found
nothing related to this.

So, this seems to be two questions, sorry for that, originally I only meant
to ask the first one...

1. Doesn't "mailto:"; links work in PDF files created by OpenOffice.org 1.1.5
?
2. What do I have to configure to make my default email client to open
when clicking an "mailto:"; link?



Best regards
