I have two machines both running WinXP SP3 and SeaMonkey 1.1.16, and I
thought they were configured the same, but apparently not.

After running Windows Update last night, which included patches to some
MS Office programs, I found (as usual) that Micro$#!+ had stolen my
default browser and email settings. So I set them back.

But it turns out that one machine has "SeaMonkey Mail" as the default
newsgroup reader, and the other has Outhouse Distress, and doesn't even
offer SM as an option.

I've poked around in Control Panel | Internet Options | Programs and in
Set Program Access and Defaults, and I can't see how to fix it. Nor does
SM seem to have its own way of testing and changing the setting.

Any ideas?


Telling Seamonkey to make itself the default newsreader doesn't work?

If I could, I would. What do I do?

In SM 2.0 there's the option to do that..dunno if possible in 1.x because I've never used it. Another workaround could be to remove OE from 'add/remove windows components' if you aren't using it. Maybe it sets itself as default newsreader always.

Don't think that's the answer as both machines have OE and one is fine with it.
