Hi Howard,

In OE, select Options from the Tools menu and go to the General tab and make
OE the default Mail Handler.  You should also remove this default from
Outlook.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
