hi folks operating OE as default mail but when using send to (to take
advantage of photo insertion sizes) outlook opens.

have followed info on these pages and have made sure all is ok even
changed registry (which already said right thing) but changed anyway.

have also changed details in folder options and file types.

when i now use send to, fresh mailbox opens which belongs to OE and all
seems ok, but if use send to again in same session outlook opens??????

is there a way to reduce photo size for email via OE when using file
insert?

plus what is advantage or disadvantage of using outlook only?

regards, Alby
