Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / March 2007Setting OE6 as default mail client
I'm having trouble with setting OE6 as my default mail client. It is set up fine in IE6, but not OE6. Whenever I go to Tools>Options>General Tab and press "Make Default" it appears to do so, but when I reopen the Tools menu there is the "Make Default" button again. Everything seems to be working fine except when I try to forward a NG message. I then get kicked to a box that says it will use MS Outlook to handle the message.

But alas-and-alack I still can't forward NG messages without MS Outlook rearing its ugly head. Could there be a way to add OE to the dialog box, perhaps?
