Is the *Word* one MS Outlook? You got an MS Outlook update and it made
Outlook the default e-mail client.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

The last few days I've noticed that Outlook Express is no longer my
default email when responding to websites. I get the Word one, and it
takes too long to come up. How do I get OE back and put Word out of the
picture?
Thanks
