Default Change default when clicking on link

When I'm on a website that contains a link to e-mail somebody, and I click on
that link, it automatically uses my Outlook Express account. Is there some
way to change that setting so that I have a choice of whether to use my
Outlook Express or a web-based e-mail program?

It is always going to choose the e-mail client that is set as default.

You'll need to install Yahoo Toolbar v7.2 or higher *for IE* and enable the
option to make Yahoo Mail your default. See

No. While you can set it up, per PA Bear, to use Yahoo! Mail (web mail
service) as your default email handler, IE will always choose your default
email handler, with no option to choose.
