Hi Forum.

I have a problem with a windows XP PC with outlook 2003 installed.

the firefox email link not working. I checked mailto: only showing yahoo and gmail.

We want to use outlook 2003 to send. If I use IE 8, email link will work.

I manually put the outlook.exe path in Use Other, still not working. It probably due to that I could not enter parameters with the outlook.exe

Please help.

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Hi FredMcD

I selected Use other, nothing showing up.

All I see is Select Helper Application mailto undefined send this item to:

I can click browse to manually put in outlook.exe.

in my test, outlook will start and freeze. I guess parameters not being passed properly.

How do I enter a path like

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"

or any other way to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot,

Michael

I use the LiveMail program. No problem there. Have you thought about Switching to Thunderbird?

Hi there

No, we don't want switching to Thunderbird at this stage.

we are still trying to make the outlook 2003 as the default program for firefox.
