When I used to send the contents of web pages on Safari, they would go through
Apple mail. I wanted them to go through Entourage instead, so I selected
Entourage as the default email client in Entourage preferences. Now when I
attempt to send the contents of web pages, I get a message that Entourage
can't do this. I now want to unselect Entourage as the default client, but
there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.
Is there a reason you want to send the contents rather than the link?
The preference to set the default email application is no longer in System
Preferences. Apple now requires you to make this setting in Safari or Mail
preferences. Entourage 2008 now offers this option in Entourage preferences.
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.
IC-Switch is a helper utility for Internet Config (hence the "IC" in its
name), for Mac OS X only. It allows you to change quickly and easily your
default emailer, FTP client, news and RSS readers and Web browser, simply by
choosing an item from a menu displayed in all applications.

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.
