some setting that can affect this in OE or elsewhere? The only possibly
relevant change that I can think of is that I've changed ISPs (I'm
travelling and have just moved from France to Hong Kong).

So, do I understand all the experts correctly? If you have another browser
as default, you cannot upgrade to IE7 and expect links in OE to work? I
have no intention of ever setting IE as default as I seldom use it. I
should stay with IE6 in this instance? I have no problems with having Fx as
default and links in OE open perfectly in Fx.

What happens with Service Pack 3 for XP (if Microsoft does deliver that)?
That will force IE7 right? Then links will be broken in OE if I have Fx as
default? Is Microsoft planning on fixing this problem?

I thought there was an embargo on M$ making software dependent on other
M$ products!
