Default Bug: Box unchecked and outlook grabs default mail app status

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003 as a calendar application, I use another
application (Thunderbird) as my default email client. Every time I boot
Outlook, it takes over as default email client, so that when I boot
Thunderbird the next time, I am told that Thunderbird is not the default
client, would I like to make it so. I would, permanently. I unchecked the
box in the Microsoft Outlook Tools-Customize-Other pane that asks if I want
to make Outlook my default email application. That should be enough, but
apparently isn't.

Just this once, on this little thing, could Microsoft Corp. please relent
from its 24/7 monopoly pressure to use only its products, and respect the
fact that it is my computer, in my house, which I bought with my money, and I
have the right to choose my default email application? In other words, fix
this bug and BUG OFF!

Default Box unchecked and outlook grabs default mail app status

it should only happen after updates to outlook are installed. what is set as
the default client in Internet options (in the control panel)?
