| 581801 | 2007-08-16 22:51:00 | Hi I am running Windows Vista. When ever I click on an email address, say in mail in Winmail, ie accounts@pcworld.co.nz, Vista tries to open up internet explorer instead of new mail in W:2cents: inmail. I believe the problem has something to do with preferences setup in the control panel. Any ideas how I can fix this problem please Ron |

| 581803 | 2007-08-17 01:04:00 | Hi I tried what you said about the defaults program and still have had no luck. Internet explorer opens up in about 30 odd windows. Unfortunately no Winmail create mail window opens. I dont want to get that big hammer out yet. Any further suggestions? |

| 581805 | 2007-08-17 21:18:00 | Thanks for your input Ghostbuster.There seems to be no where in properties to set email client. I checked the General, Compatibility, Security and Details tabs??:confused: | ronr (1234) | ||
| 581806 | 2007-08-17 21:29:00 | Right click IE - then properties - in there go to "programs" set your mail client in there. This is only applicable to IE6 and earlier, not IE7 on Vista. Instead, go to: Tools-Internet Options-Programs-Set Programs "Associate a File type...." Find: "MAILTO", and click "Change Program", and select whatever program you want to use. |

| 581807 | 2007-08-17 21:57:00 | Hi Ghostbuster There is no "Mail to" There is "Windows mail e-mail message and a Windows mail new message" but both of these are set to Winmail. I tried setting "Mapimail file" to Winmail but this made no difference. In the whole list of associate a file types I have Winmail opening only the two mentioned above and News prolcol, NNTP protocol and S-News protocol I am still stumped? |
