I would like Firefox "mailto" links to open a new message in OE6. Instead it opens the OE6 Inbox.

Using Internet Explorer, "Mailto" links properly open in a new message.

OE6 is my default mail program & Firefox 21.0 is configured to use OE. Running Windows XP SP3.

Problem Solved. In FF Tools....Options...Applications tab:

Selecting Use Outlook Express (default) leads to a new message window.

Selecting Use Outlook Express leads to the inbox.

Thanks for reporting back. It's odd that both of those are in there, but it's probably not worth trying to clean up.
