Making Entourage my default email program

L

l.thoren

When I send an web page to an email recipiant, I want Entourage to be
my default email program. When I send web pages it always goes to Mac
mail. I uninstalled Mac mail to force it to Entourage and now I get
the message that an emil program can not be found and I have to
install the email program that came with my Mac operating system. If
I can't make Entourage my default email program, what good is it. I
am an Windows user tryig to convert to Mac but I find it very
inflexible. Windows has a much user freindly operation system.

Actually, you wanted to keep Apple's Mail because you can use it to set
your default email application to Entourage.

If you're unable to reinstall Mail then have a look at something like
RCDefaultApp found here
<http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/>. It will let you set
the default application for more than just email.

Hope this helps! bill

If you just want to send a URL with Entourage get one of these scripts to
automatically insert the open URL into an Entourage message.

Insert Safari URLs
Insert_Omniweb_URL
Insert Firefox URLs

I used the script to insert the above URL.

If you want to send entire web pages, look at this script:

Drop 'n Mail

It takes a bit to get used to a new operating system. I can empathize with
your frustration.
