When I use IE 6 and want to send page by email. It launches thunderbird.
I have chosen outlook express in tool options applications settings. I
even switched it to thunderbird then back again to outlook express.
nothing happens. Its as if it is ignoring this setting. Although when i
click on an email address in explorer outlook express opens fine. can't
figure it out. please help.


thanks.

this is on a machine running ie6 and outlook express 6 and sp2 with all
updates.
