Since I signed up for Verizon DSL, I can't send mail
using "shortcuts" on various websites. When I click on a
mail shortcut, I get an error message that states, "Cannot
send mail. No mail program is set up to send mail using
Internet shortcuts." I use Outlook Express for email and
it is set as my default email under Microsoft Internet
Explorer Options. Any clue?

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:
