See http://www.slipstick.com/config/defaultmailer.htm

Also make sure OL is the default for Email in Set Program Access and
Defaults.

I'm not a mind reader. <w> Your reply above suggested that you wanted
Outlook (OL) to be your default Mail Client. If you want it to be Outlook
/Express/ (OE)...

1. http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx; then...

2a. http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx

2b. (WinXP) [Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs] Set Program Access and
Defaults | Email | Select OE here!

If still no joy, see:

SendTo and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098
=======================

Now that you've got it fixed, please read:

Microsoft Outlook updates change the default mail handler to Microsoft
Outlook
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13

Every time you install an OL update (e.g., the monthly Junk Mail Filter
update), you're going to run into this problem as long as you (1) have OL
installed as part of MS Office and (2) install OL updates.

If you don't use OL (or Calendar, etc.), Remove it from your install of
Office via Add/Remove Programs | Change | ... (Tip: Have your Office CD
handy)
