Default Seeking OE5.5 "Send a Link" functionality with OE6 WinXp

I had become very accustomed to using the "Send a Link" feature with
IE6/OE5.5/Win98 as a means of collecting info from the web and saving them as
Drafts but have recently upgraded to a TabletPC with IE6/OE6/WinXp in which
"Send a Link" functionality has been degraded. Instead of creating an OE5.5
email with the linked webpage title in the Subject line and in the attached
link, OE6 creates a non-descriptive subject line and link attachment with
only the URL page name ("page123" versus "Descriptive title of webpage
contents") and also adds the unwanted phrase "The message is ready to be sent
with the following file or link attachments: Shortcut to:" before the URL in
the body of the email.

The question is how to regain the OE5.5 "Send a Link" functionality. Can
OE6 be reconfigured with this functionality and/or can OE6 be uninstalled and
OE5.5 installed in a WinXpProTablet environment? The workaround of dragging
and dropping, copying, pasting, deleting, etc., is much more time consuming
than the old "Send a Link" function. Alternatively, if it were the only way,
would installing and switching to Outlook 2003 provide the functionality?
