Using Outlook Express with Windows XP to send photos by email

[Art Rosvold]

I recently switched from Netscape mail to Outlook
Express. With Netscape, I could click on a photo to be
sent by email and Windows XP would automatically reduce
the file size, then attach it to a Netscape email to be
sent. When I try that with Outlook Express set for my
default email program, XP still asks if I want to reduce
the file size, but instead of opening up the message
composer in Outlook Express, it opens the Microsoft
Outlook email message composer. I've checked to be sure
that Outlook Express is set as my default email program,
and it is.
How can I get XP to call up Outlook Express when I want
to send a photo?

Unless I have the wrong end of the stick (happens...), Art's problem is with
the Mail Client . Resizing seems to be working properly.
