Helen: I was recently advised by a member of the NY MacUsers Group on their MetroMac website that the way to change the email default is:
"Launch the version of Mail that installs with Panther even though you may want to use another email client as your default. Visit the Preferences. Choosing the default email reader is the first pref. Select your preferred mail client from the list or navigate to it if it doesn't appear in the list. Now quit Mail and forget about it. You will need Safari and Mail to reside on your system, whether you use them or not, if you want to change your default email and browser apps in the future." Good luck. >I've just put Netscape on my iMac (OSx 10.2.8) and have used the method >recommended previously in this list to get Netscape to NOT use its own >mailer ) when I click on an email address in the browser but now it >pulls up APPLE mail .... > >I've changed the internest settings in OSx to PM as the default mailer >... clicking on an email address in a PM message brings up apple mail >too..
