Installed Outlook 2003 (11.8217.8221 SP3) a week ago for the Calendar
function only. Have not set up any mail accts. Am happy with my existing
mail client; however, whenever I run Outlook (Calendar) it insists on setting
itself as the default mail client. The check box in Tools/Options/Other is
NOT checked. Fortunately my mail client warns me that Outlook has hijacked
the mailto: association and I reset it each time, which is tedious. Any
ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

As an update to my original post, about a week after posting it Outlook
started behaving the way it should. Maybe it needed to 'break in', like a new
car engine. Or something.
