Ian, sorry to hear it.
It sounds like Microsoft decided that if you're using OE, you can't
possibly want to use any other browser than IE, so they hard-coded OE to
use IE instead of the default browser...
Does it make any difference if Opera is already running when you click a
link? When I used Netscape with IE as the default browser, NS would trap
the call to the default browser if it was running.
(For the record, these days I'm using Eudora 5 for email, XNews for
newsgroups, and Opera for the web, and they all get along just fine
together. <grin>)
