Thread: iDisabling retarded crApple imail

I was on a website and I wanted to contact them, so I clicked on where it says English email, and then this box opens up saying:



Jesus fuckin H, Mevbot give me a gun!!!

I am very happy with my Hotmail account and have had it ten years and I do not appreciate Steve Jobs trying trying to hold my hand all the time and wipe my arse for me - how the FUCK can I disable crApple's cnuty version of email and just find out what the email address is on the website that just has a link saying English Email.

What would happen if I clicked that on a Windows/PC? ...Would it auto open my Hotmail page? Wouldn't have a problem with that, but I'd rather do it the old fashioned way and have my Hotmail open in one window and the website I was looking at in another window, and the website would simply have an email address listed on the contact page like most normal people do and I would simply copy it and paste it into my Hotmail compose bar, but no - Apple has to dance and wave it's arms and get out the iLube and massage my rectum when all I want is it to give me an email address!

if you hover over the english email you will see it is an emailto: link and you should be able to see what the email address is

Nope.

do a "view page source" and then do a search on "mailto:"

alternatively, you could upgrade to FireFox and dump stupid Safari

I'm confused.

I'll get a good nights sleep and try to figure it out in the morning.

maybe right click on it and 'copy link location' , then paste into your email or a text doc if you want to save it.

unfortunately, you can't do that on a mac, that feature isn't available yet, but will be in the next release of OSX

Of course it is BF.

Only computer retards can't find it.

not with the magic mouse it isn't, the right click disappeared

I discovered the other day that you can actually set up your Mac email client to connect to Hotmail. On snow leopard, at least.

Surely you just go into your browser settings and choose your default email setting, no?

Its so easy that i'm not going to answer this one.

Cheers Baldrick, have a green.

That eventually worked but I had to open the bulbous orange egg shaped mouse from Tokyo that I got as a Christmas present, my track pad has no right click.

Butterfly was right about the Apple mouse, it's laughably over fashionable and minimalistic. Apple does deserve to be mocked at times, just because I am a Mac user, doesn't mean I defend them all the time, Macs are not above being laughed at, I know that and so does Butterfly.

So I'm not a computer wizzkid, so what - I'm above most of you when it comes to scruples. Thick people can't resist an opportunity to poke fun at those from behind glass.

errrrr why don't you just hold the 'ctrl' button down while you click on the track pad if you want a right click option?

^ Yes I know that, anyway - defend the imouse.

Why don't you just enable right click on the mouse?

Cheers Baldrick.. That eventually worked

Show's over folks.

cos he's a mactard.

I try not to take the piss as I need some practice being patient with people who have problems like this as Im starting to help lots of WinScamps and MacScamps for cold hard cash.

Bring em on Scamp, bring em on........

over the phone? interwebby ? or in person? either way I dont think I'd have the patience.

I reckon about 50% of your calls will start with "have you checked that the computer is plugged in ?"

^^If you can put up with Scamps level of 'tardness then you deserve all the cash you get.
