Hi!

How to open mail from contact list (from sidebar) using Windows Mail?

I have had an Outlook 2007 and it worked (but I prefer Windows Mail) and
after I've deleted Outlook 2007, this mini app from sidbear wants to open
mail in Internet Explorer (browser then mix up and do some strange things
such as opening 30x) ...

How to force this program from sidebar to open in Windows Mail?
I have a lot of contact and don't want to open my mail - it's easier for me
to click on contact, then her/his mail and write a message.

Plesae help!

PS. My Windows Mail is set to default ( I suppose).

Double click the contact, then the email address appears as a link.
 
You didn't understand my problem :-/


I know there is a link but it's open in IE, not in Windows Mail, which
causes some strange thigs... (Explorer went crazy etc.)

Yep, I misunderstood. It opens a mail composition window for me.
Press WinKey+R and type
regedit
and click OK. Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\.eml\shellex\8895B1C6-B41F-4C1C-A562-0D564250836F
Is (default) set to {b9815375-5d7f-4ce2-9245-c9d4da436930}?

If not, what is it?
