2402 Gold added a NEW 'Write Mail Editor' - that doesn't work
"Write Mail Editor" Icon came in with the latest Gold update, 2402.
If clicked, it gives an error msg of:
Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol
"waol-embed" does not have a registered program
And sure enough, the URL in Properties has:
waol-embed://aoldesktop.htmlresources.zip/StartEditor.html?prefix=In%20a%20message%20dated%2009%2f04%2f19%2009%3a29%3a53%20AM%20Pacific%20Standard%20Time%2c%20copious%2egarden%40gmail%2ecom%20writes%3a&message=%3cimg%20style%3d%22visibility%3avisible%3bborder%3a%201px%20solid%20%23DADAD6%3b%20cursor%3a%20pointer%3b%20margin%2dbottom%3a%2030px%3b%22%20filename%3d%22IMG%5f7499%2eJPG%22%20partid%3d%222%22%20class%3d%22AOLAttachedImage%22%20src%3d%22https%3a%2f%2frpc%2email%2eaol%2ecom%2fwebmail%2fgetPart%3fuid%3dAK2ZkWEkOslfXW%5fmgQL9oPnrFUU%26amp%3bpartId%3d2%26amp%3bsaveAs%3dIMG%5f7499%2eJPG%26amp%3bscope%3dDWEB%22%3e&message=%3cimg%20style%3d%22visibility%3avisible%3bborder%3a%201px%20solid%20%23DADAD6%3b%20cursor%3a%20pointer%3b%20margin%2dbottom%3a%2030px%3b%22%20filename%3d%22IMG%5f7499%2eJPG%22%20partid%3d%222%22%20class%3d%22AOLAttachedImage%22%20src%3d%22https%3a%2f%2frpc%2email%2eaol%2ecom%2fwebmail%2fgetPart%3fuid%3dAK2ZkWEkOslfXW%5fmgQL9oPnrFUU%26amp%3bpartId%3d2%26amp%3bsaveAs%3dIMG%5f7499%2eJPG%26amp%3bscope%3dDWEB%22%3e"e=False&reedit=False&signature=&isMailto=False&fontCSS=font%2dfamily%3a%20%22comic%20sans%20ms%22%2c%20sans%2dserif%3b%20font%2dsize%3a%2016px%3b%20font%2dstyle%3a%20normal%3b%20font%2dweight%3a%20400%3b%20color%3a%20rgb%280%2c%200%2c%200%29%3b%20background%2dcolor%3a%20rgb%28255%2c%20255%2c%20255%29%3b&extras

I see that is had been sent with 2402 Gold in Sept 2019 (I have just rec'd: AOL Gold 3584),
Was this some kind of mistake? If I click on the desktop item, I get the error msg " Unable to open .... 'waol-embed' does not have a registered program" ... I'm using Windows 11Should this be deleted? or will it work with Gold 3584, when it installs?
