Try this and see if it fixes it:

Go to Start | Run and type the following:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg
(Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that is correct)

Make certain to include the quotations marks and the space between the
ending quotation mark and the slash.

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools\Internet Options\Programs and
set OE as the default mail (and news) program.

This may have been caused by the changes to Outlook, which insists that it
should be the default mail program. Good luck.

Thanks -- it did work, although all the additions to the address
table since sometime in 2004 have been lost for some reason.

Shrug. Sh*t happens.
