I am using Fast Mail as my main email service and would like to know how to set it as my default email. When I go to tools, internet opitions, programs it does not list fast mail as an opition.

Would appreciate any advise.

I'm assuming it's either a web-access email account (like Yahoo is) or it's some type of shareware. It wouldn't surprise me if either of those were not available in IE's dropdown. They would have to be designed to integrate, which of course the *big guys* would do, but others probably would not. I suggest using a different email service if that's possible. If Fast Mail has Pop3 capability, though, then use Outlook Express and set Fast Mail up for Pop3.

New question on this subject.

When I want to send a weblink/-page in WinXP from IE, automatically my hotmail account will open in IE. I have however set the settings to use Outlook Express as the mailhandler. This problem also occurs when I try to mail an attachment from the "normal" explorer. Are there other settings to be changed?

I found it out myself, so this is for future reference: in the "add or remove programs" function, you can change the progran access defaults. By making the right choice for email and webbrowser, the task of sending a weblink is back to where you (I... ) wanted.
