Default Controlling default email client - how to?

Hi All,

I've been using Firefox as my email client on my WinXP/SP2. I use OE as my
Newsgroup client.

It seems to me that sometime in the last couple of days, whenever I click
on a link that has a mailto:xxx form brings up OE rather than Firefox. How
can I restore Firefox as the mailto target?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

Hi Robear,

Thanks for your help. I looked at those options but didn't see one whose
current value could be change to satisfy my situation. But I'm not going to
pursue this until the annoying situation arises again.

Regards,
Richard
