I'm going to have to do this. I absolutely hate clicking on an email link and having outlook open. I probably should go ahead and uninstall outlook from my computer.

Cool!

I hate it when Mail (on a Macbook) opens when I click a mailto link... Hopefully, this'll stop it... I'm assuming it does the same job regardless of program.

Thank you so, so much Eddie!
