Been using OE for years. Normal operation ... reading an email, click on
someone's email address, and it takes you to a new email window. End of story.

Now, out of the blue, it is taking me to an email editor associated with
Outlook. I have never even activated or used Outlook, and don't want to
start. What did I do wrong, and how do I fix?

Thanks for any help.

If you don't use Outlook, remove it.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

And:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see:
