I run a program (mailwasher pro) to preview all my mail. There is an
option where I can reply to an email before actually downloading the
email to my email client (mozilla). Even though while setting up
Mozilla and IE, I have set Mozilla to be the default browser and
email/news program, still in windows, under : Windows
Explorer/Tools/Folder/Options/File Types, under "URL:mailto protocol" it
still lists:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:%1

What do I change that to in order for it to *really* make mozilla the
default program?

Also, if you got this far and aren't lost... in the same section, what
line do I change, and what do I change it to, in order to have it open
mozilla and not IE if I click on a link in the mailwasher program?

Thanks,
Tono

Never mind, I found it. I also found that mozilla has a bug with this
particular problem. Even though in windows marks mozilla as the default
browser, Mozilla doesn't do it correctly. If anyone cares, here is what
I found.

This is because Mozilla Messenger doesn't correctly register itself as
the default mailto protocol handler on Windows. However, Mozilla
Messenger registers itself as the default mail client, which is slightly
different. You will have to fix this problem manually.

In Windows XP/2000, select Folder Options in the Control Panel, then
click on the File Types tab. Here, browse to the file type called (None)
URL:MailTo Protocol and click Advanced. Select the open action and click
Edit. Uncheck the Use DDE option and specify the full path to
mozilla.exe in the Application used to perform action field. Enclose the
path in quotation marks and append -compose %1. The result should look
something like this:

"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -compose %1

That fixed my problem.
