emailing from the internet

[gene]

I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 and Outlook Express. I can email thru
Outlook Express BUT when I try to email through a web page nothing happens.
Apparently there is no association existing between Internet Explorer and
the email program. HELP
FYI: Outlook Express does appear as the email program in Internet Explorer
Options

I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 and Outlook Express. I can email
thru Outlook Express BUT when I try to email through a web page
nothing happens. Apparently there is no association existing between
Internet Explorer and the email program. HELP
FYI: Outlook Express does appear as the email program in Internet
Explorer Options

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:

You might also want to try this:

To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the
following with quotation marks and press OK
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient
