Turning off E-Mail

[Roy Lewis]

These Browsers that do not have the Email program in them will not
recognize the mailto: command.  You still would need to use a filter to
restrict certin URL's  I really see no reason to block Hotmail or Rocket
mail or Yahoo mail.  It is just the email programs that reside on the local
computer that are a problem.  I feel that email is as important to the WWW
as any other function as long as the data does not remain on the local
computer the patron would not spend any more time with it than doing any
othe search and surf.
