Is MS Outlook also installed and do you use it for mail instead of OE?

Hi Bruce,

I followed the instructions in links 1 and 2 below and I'm now able to
open OE from a web link. Thanks very much for your help!

Note: Interestingly, when I tried to send this reply to you individually
(rather than "Reply Group"), I encountered the same problem as originally
stated. While this is not a big deal, if there is an easy fix, I wouldn't
mind knowing how to do it.

Comment: The instructions for link 2 below appear to be geared to a
pre-Windows XP version. You may wish to update the instructions for XP.

Thanks again for your help.
Roy

Hello,

I recently got a new computer, and one of the many mysteries that I
haven't yet solved is this: When I click on a link on a web page to
send e-mail, my OE doesn't open as it always used to with my old
system. When I click on an e-mail link now, what happens is that a
dialog box titled "Choose Profile" opens, with "Microsoft Outlook"
appearing in the form field.

To make a long story short, I have not been able to successfully get
past this point so that I am able to open OE from a web link. If
anyone could explain how to set up my system (or direct me to online
instructions) to open OE from a web link, I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks!
Roy
