Does not use default client #4

Closed mjoc0723 closed 10 years ago

This app always tries to use Outlook even though I have set windos mail as my default email client. When I use it at home it gets it right but I only have Windows Live mail installed. At work I have both Outlook and Windows Mail installed and even though I use Live Mail and have registered it as the default, the app always tries to use Outlook. This is yuseless to me.

Well, that's strange. Because what it does is actually just open a simple mailto address. Could you please enter the following address into your browser address line and press enter to verify that the correct mail client is registered as default: mailto:test@example.com

So at work, when you open this your Windows Live Mail client should open a new mail with this e-mail. If it doesn't it isn't your default mail client. And if this does not help, I'm afraid that I can't help you, because the behaviour of the mailto handler is not under my control, but it is up to the operating system to handle this properly.
