Services and Mail.app

melg · 01-26-2002, 04:11 PM

In attempting to use Services/Mail/ [Mail Text or Mail To], in any program, the program always attempts to load my classic application of Outlook Express, rather than Mail.app, which I have set up in my internet preferences. Under my internet preferences I have two choices, Mail and Outlook Express.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this so that my preferred choice of Mail.app is selected when using services?

TIA

curious. you haven't moved the mail.app from the /applications folder, have you?

there should be another choice under the

system preferences->internet-/email\-default email reader: [popup-menu]

namely, [select...]

attempt to explicitly select the emailer you want to use, and let us know.

No, everything is where it's supposed to be.

Interesting! I tried resetting it before, but nothing happened... This time it worked. Thanks!
