OL and Netscape`

[Joe McGuire]

Is there any way to configure Netscape, my preferred browser, to work with
OL or vice-versa? Whenever I click on a link for e-mail on a web page
(e.g., "Click here to E-mail us ") I am prompted to setup a Netscape e-mail
account rather than being switched over to OL. I actually have a Netscape
e-mail account but it is only for spam and junk; I only use it for those
situations where somebody demands a valid e-mail address and I would rather
not give them one where I actually get real mail. As it is, I have to copy
any e-mail link into an OL e-mail. Not exactly a lot of troukble, but a
minor irritation. I would appreciate any suggestions.

if outlook is set as the default, it should work. Look in the internet
settings in control panel and verify Ol is set as default. if so, you may
need to change something in Netscape's preferences.

Thanks! That was fast! I already had these settings in Control Panel. I
have been delving through Netscape--a great browser but evidently without
any sort of meaningful support or newsgroups, such as this. Much as I like
the program, I believe I have NEVER gotten a question answered. Since this
seems to be my only question these days, I suppose I will survive.
