Sharing by email not working

13 Apr 2019, 00:07

I just updated to the most current version of X3, and the sharing panel for sharing by email is not working.  The facebook and other ones seem to be working, but not for email.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

It works here. "Share by email" uses the native operating systems EMAIL function. If it doesn't work, it would mean you don't have an email application assigned in your operating system. It basically means you cannot click any link with the mailto protocol:
Code
<a href="mailto:somedude@domain.com">Email me!</a>

Thanks--that was the problem.  I just reformatted my hard drive, so it had no default email viewer yet.  I switched it, and it's working.  Thank you for the tip.  I spent a while last night trying to figure that one out.
