Can not send email, because the standard mail client is not correctly installed
by hans » Sun, 17 Aug 2003 02:29:34 GMT
Hallo,
I have IE 6.0 plus SP1 and OE 6.0 installed. OE is may
standard mail client. I had usedoutlook in teh past on
the same computer.
I can browse the internet with IE and send emails with
OE. But I can't send emails directly from links starting
mailto: on web pages. Whenever I try this, I get the
message: Can not send email, because the standard mail
client is not correctly installed. (The original error
message is in German).
What is the required action to get remove this problem.
Best Regards
Hans

From http://www.**--****.com/
Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.
If that isn't enough, see this article:
