[X Newbies] Trouble with Default Browser

[Birgit Rhoads]

Robert, I agree with you about Apple's mail program.  If you are using IE,
why not try Outlook Express?  I used it with no problems until I got Office
X with Entourage.  Entourage has them all beat IMO.  Oddly enough, there is
no such mail program for Microsoft Office for Windows...unless they just
added it.
