Windows Mail

[Aries]

How can I stop it being my default mal client - I only use Thunderbird
these days?

 

[Dave]

go to Start - Default Programs - Set your program defaults

click on Thunderbird, and make sure it has all of the defaults.

Hmmm, the trouble is, Thunderbird isn't listed in Default Progs, only
Windows Mail.

I have authorised Thunderbird as default mail client but '0send mail to'
always brings up Windows Mail

Well, Thunderbird should be listed. On mine, it's listed twice, as mail and
news.
You might try reinstalling it.

Hi,

Uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall it. FYI, I installed Mozilla Thunderbird (current version - v2.0.0.6) and it's listed correctly in the "Default Programs" applet.

I'll try that, thanks Dave, and Ramesh
