Default email program

Apr 29, 2005 5:01AM PDT

I have Hotmail and ATT email. I use Hotmail all the time. I have Hotmail as my default email program in Tools>Ineternet Options>Programs.

But if I get a web page on my screen that I want to send to somebody, and I click File>Send, I get the ATT email program to send the page and it doesn't provide a way for me to switch to Hotmail.

I wonder what I can do to have Hotmail come up when I want to send an email page to somebody?

The MAILTO: invokes an email client program which a web browser is not.
