RE: Making the mail button in WLM link to Outlook
That doesn't work...and I had XP Pro not too long ago when I first started using Windows Live Messenger and it didn't work then either. I had, as I do now, Outlook set as the default e-mail handler for everything but Messenger would consistently open IE when I clicked on the e-mail link.

The only thing I was ever able to change was having IE open to go to my e-mail. Using Stuffplug, I was able to get it to open e-mail link in Firefox instead.

But I was NEVER able to get it to open e-mails in Outlook, and from
browsing in other forums, I haven't come upon anyone else - besides you, that is - who was able to do this.

Although this SHOULD be doable, are you certain that it is?
Maybe there is a setting in Messenger I'm supposed to enable beforehand?

I should also mention I have a Live Hotmail e-mail account -- maybe it insists on opening Live accounts in a web browser (or the Live mail desktop when I had it installed)?
