SYMPTOMS
When you are viewing a category in a portal, a hyperlink named &quot;Contact: John Somebody&quot; may be displayed. If you click the name John Somebody, your default e-mail program starts, and it creates a new message addressed to the following invalid e-mail address:

somebody@microsoft.com



CAUSE
This issue can occur because when you create a new workspace, SharePoint Portal Server creates five default categories, Category 1 to Category 5. The five default categories are provided as a starting point, and they alert coordinators to the Category functionality. In the default categories, &quot;John Somebody&quot; is listed as a sample contact. However, after you rename one of the categories, &quot;John Somebody&quot; is still listed as the contact.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, either rename or delete the default categories, and then create your own category hierarchy. To manage categories, open a Web folders shortcut to the workspace, and then open the Categories folder. To delete or rename the default categories, right-click each category, and then click Delete or Rename. To change the contact name or to remove it, right-click the category, click Properties, and then change or remove the text in the following boxes:
 * Category contact name
 * Category contact e-mail address

After you remove the contact information, the hyperlink is not visible when you view the category in the portal.
