Why when I click on a address in IE7 it doesn't go to Windows Mail????

[Paul T]

Every time I click on a e-mail adress online instead of opening in my
Windows Mail new message it opens in some Office 2007 word looking file.
Windows Mail is my default email program and always has been, it would be
much easier if I clicked on a e-mail address and it opened up as a new
message in Windows Mail.
Any ideas on how I can get it to do this????
