Default Outlook becomes default mail handler

Outlook 2003. For some reason (haven't been able to figure out what triggers
it), Outlook keeps setting itself as the Default Mail Handler. Our users
only use Outlook for the Calendar function - they use Outlook Express for
eMail. We have a database application (Access F/E) that allows them to send
documents by eMail. But when Outlook "steals" the Default Mail Handler, the
mail never gets sent, though the user has no idea that it didn't go. In
Options | Other, I've unchecked the Make Outlook the default program for
E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar. How can I permanently stop Outlook from
making itself the Default Mail Handler?
