Hi folks --
I am using a computer where the previous user used Mozilla Thunderbird for e-mail. I now use Outlook 2003. Although I've set Outlook as the default mail client, whenever I use the "Send To" Mail Recipient option after right-clicking, the computer boots Thunderbird. How can I change this to Outlook? Thunderbird is still installed on the computer because I sometimes need to refer back to e-mail stored there. Thanks A. |

I don't think the OP said it was. He just wants to know how to change the
behavior of the Send To Mail Recipient link so that it uses Outlook. Are you suggesting, maybe, that a WinXP group is more appropriate? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Either that or a Mozilla issue. OP said he already set Outlook to be the
default mail client, so I assumed he already knew how to do that. It appears Thunderbird has commandeered those settings. For example, it may have reset the URL:MailToProtocol. Under Registered File Types, click to select URL:MailToProtocol, and then click Edit. In the Actions list, click Open, and then click Edit. What appears there? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Dick Watson" wrote in message ... I don't think the OP said it was.

In Thunderbird, Tools Options General Tab --- Change the settings.
