Thanks Hugh
The problem is still hapenning though. In fact that registry entry was the
same one I was checking. For some reason instead of opening the new nail
form it opens the inbox. I wouldn't mind if it would do both. When I send
"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to internet explorer it does the correct thing
but also opens the browser window. Maybe my settings for my outlook express
are not right.
I'm a bit confused now but thanks for the help
Regards
Monte
