i forgot how i did this. on my one mac, if i click on a web address it opens an aol e-mail w/the address socked in
on my 2nd mac, i can't remember how i set it up to do this and when i click on the hyperlink it opens the mac e-mail system (which i never set up)
this is a mac preferences thing, not an aol preferences thing. i remember that much.
anybody remember how to do this?
thanks much!

Open Mail.app. From within its Preferences, you can choose the default email application.

Open Apple's Mail program (the "Mac e-mail system you never set up"), select the command "Preferences" in the "Mail" menu and in the "General" section of the preferences dialog select your standard mail program from the popup menu.
There might be a way to do the same thing from within AOL's preferences, but since I don't use AOL I can't say.

You can always run the AOL Service Assistant to setup Mail to work with your AOL account, worked great for me.
AOL Service Assistant 1.1.1 - MacUpdate
I don't use the AOL Desktop software, still too buggy.
