Windows Mail (Outlook Express???)

[harding2]

I have recently setup an email account through Windows Mail, which appears to
be an upgrade from Outlook Express...but not sure. It's what I got when I
Googled "outlook express." Everything is going great, except that I can not
open web links contained in any of my email messages. NONE. When I clink on a
link or hyper-link, a box pops up telling me "application not found" & shows
the web address I was trying to open. I can hi-light standard links, copy &
paste to my browser bar & get in that way, which is a pain. But if it's a
hyper-link, copy & paste only results in the hyper-link name, not the actual
url. I have Googled & searched everything I can find on this issue, but
nothing comes close to what's going on. If there's someone out there that can
give me the answer to this problem....please HELP! Thanks...

Yes, it is the vista version of OE and is discussed in microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail.


Outlook isn't related to OE or Windows Mail. Sorry.

Neither Windows Mail or Outlook Express are dealt with in this group. This
group is for the support of Outlook, part of Microsoft Office.
