Problem forwarding messages

I have run into a problem when forwarding messages in OE6. When I try to
forward a message which came in as regular e-mail, everything works fine
(OE6 handles it). But when I try to forward a message from a newsgroup MS
Outlook tries to take over the task. This happens whether I try to forward
the original message or a copy in a regular mail folder.

Using W98SE, OE6, and MS Outlook 97.


Thanks,
Dan Hacker

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:
"Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

You might also want to try this:

To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the
following with quotation marks and press OK
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.
