Default How can I increase the mail body length when using mailto?

I'm using Outlook 2000 have the need to use the html 'mailto' command...
unfortunately the message body is limited to 1840 chars, which is not enough
for our needs. If the message goes over 1840 i get the message, "Could not
perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly
installed"

Any suggestions as to how i can change this value?

thanks,
max

Is Outlook Express configured as your default e-mail editor? Check the
Programs tab in Internet Explorer options.

Yes. It works fine if the body of the message is under 1840 characters.

What happens when you change the default e-mail client to Outlook instead of
Outlook Express?
