Some people don't pay for a connection, for whatever reason, or their
parents have the connection. For example, my friend pays for
cable/Internet and uses only cable. Her 14 year old daughter uses
Internet, but has only a Yahoo address.
I have a Yahoo account (as you can see in the message header), and I use
it because I don't have to worry about notifying everyone if I change
service providers (talk about a PITA). I also have a email address from
my service provider, but I rarely, if ever, use it.
Webmail will not come up when clicking on a mailto link (unless you're
using a propritary browser). The application that is configured for the
browser will come up.
