Adding e-mail optionsin FrontPage

T

Tracie

I am trying to add my e-mail to a from that I've created in FrontPage,
however I continuously get the error message:

The FrontPage Server Extensions have not been configured to send e-mail.
Please direct your system administrator or Internet Service Provider to the
instructions in 'Setting Up Your E-mail Options on Windows' or 'Setting up
Email options on UNIX' in the Server Extensions Resource Kit.

Would you like to remove the e-mail recipient? (Yes or No)

I have updated the server extensions, but I'm still getting the error
message. I found instructions in my serkindx file found in the frontpage
folder that gave me the instructions for:

Setting E-mail Options
Some features require that e-mail be sent to site visitors who browse that
web. An example of such a feature is an e-mail form handler. To enable these
features to send e-mail, you need to specify the Web server's mail address, a
contact address, an SMTP host, a mail-encoding scheme, and a mail character
set.

In the console tree, right-click the root web for which you want to set
e-mail options.
Click Properties on the shortcut menu, and then click the Server Extensions
tab.
In the Options box, click Settings.
Enter the settings you want.

My question is where exactly is this console tree that this procedure is
speaking of, and is there an easier way of setting e-mail options in
frontpage?

If you are get this on your local PC, disregard the message as long as your publishing the site via
File Menu | Publish Site to a server (http://www.yourdomainname.com) that has the FP extensions
installed and configured by the web host to process email then the form will work.
