Mail To" Windows Question

[Tom Saurus]

I have a good friend who is Hospital and I don't have a way to visit him on a regular basis. I was talking to a Nurse today and she told me about a "Send Best Wishes" part of the Hospital's website. I filled in an online form and when I clicked on "Submit", up popped up on the screen message saying "Need a Mail To". I wanted to use Windows Live Mail, and browsed for the shortcut on my Desktop. It brought up the mail program, but maybe my problem was I had to make that my default email program. Well nothing happened so I went back and chose Yahoo Mail this time. The message just disappeared off the screen. I thought it would ask me to sign into Yahoo Mail as I have several Yahoo Email Accounts. Could someone help me to understand this better? Thank you in advance for any help you can be in this matter.

I chose "Windows Live Email" as my default email program. This time I think it worked. Though in the message part it just showed "inquirery=".

a link to the best wishes page might help.

This looks like a normal website. I'm not sure exactly what you tried based on your description, but it looks like you should not in any way need to reference any personal email address. Of course there's always the chance that the person who designed this program is a moron, but I would think that "need a Mail To" means that you either left the room number or the recipient name blank when you filled out the form. Unfortunately programmers love bizarre error messages so there's always some chance that you did actually fill out everything and the message you got back is misleading and nonsensical because the programmer designed it that way deliberately. We have an application at work that our programmers wrote that uses FTP to contact other servers. When the login fails, does it say "Login failed"? Hell no. It says "Unknown error". So that is an example of why I say that programmers love misleading and unhelpful error messages because to their twisted minds, the message actually makes sense, even though nobody else on earth would think so.

jman98: I filled in every line. I just wrote a short note, because I am as much a blabberpuss in written form as I am when actually talking, he could of ended up being read a novel. The nurse told me they read these messages to the patients. He is a good friend and I am grateful to be able to send a message to him like this. I had him laughing when we went to visit that "I was going to make sure they would pipe Justin Bieber music into his room"; he knew I was kidding. I also had him laughing "that if I was a patient there at the Hospital that it would be the nurses needing the morphine drip; as I tolerable only in small doses". I am kicking myself now, I forgot to tell him that joke that Lawanda Page page had about Ruth Buzzy at the Frank Sinatra Roast"; I am sure he would of popped as stitch over that one. On second thought, popping a stitch isn't a good idea. We have such marvelous technology these days, like Email and YouTube where I watched that little clip from that roast.
