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

try this:

code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell]
@="Firefox"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\Firefox]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="Firefox"

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

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

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

and to recover IE as default:

code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="open"

Usage: Make necessary changes to the codes, then save as *.reg and double click

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.
