Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Many programs have tools to send e-mails. For example, in Google Earth there
is a menu item that lets me e-mail my current "Place" file. But these programs
invariable seem to open the Mac "Mail" program and ignore Entourage.
Entourage 2008 has this option in preferences, but Entourage 2004 does not.
Apple now requires you to make this setting in Safari or Mail preferences.
However, there are freeware applications you can use to set preferences:
IC-Switch..... I like the feature where it puts a small icon in the menu bar
that allows you to toggle which application you want as default for email,
web, FTP etc. Quick and easy way to change default application for testing
purposes.

RCDefaultApp... RCDefaultApp is a preference pane that allows a user to set
the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file
types, and MIME types. MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to
choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other
applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content
not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).

More Internet...... More Internet is a System Preferences pane that uses
Internet Config to allow you to choose which applications are set as helpers
for internet protocols (i.e. which application will be chosen to handle
which URL.)

MISFOX (MIssing Internet Settings for X)....... MisFox will show all the
file mappings settings and the protocol helpers. You can inspect these
settings, but you can also edit, delete and create new items for these
settings. Protocol Helpers are used to find the right application to handle
certain internet protocol.
