It isn't possible at the moment, but there is an addon to msn coming out called stuffplug 3, and it may have that feature. Check it out at http://www.stuffplug.com

Thnx

try this:

code:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\Firefox]

@="D:\\Mozilla Firefox\\FIREFOX.EXE -url \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
@="D:\\Mozilla Firefox\\FIREFOX.EXE -url \"%1\""

That will change the default browser to firefox and not open mail in firefox when the email is clicked in Messsenge. (Ive already tried it).

Messenger uses a non-standard way to open Hotmail/WLMail inboxes, which involves launching IE directly, rather than via ShellExecute() or the numerous other API functions that use system defaults.
