Outlook & Browser

[Shawn N]

I recently installed Firefox and have set it as my default browser. Now when I get an e-mail with a link, Outlook will still open the page in IE.

MS is saying that this is a flaw of Outlook and the only way to get around this is to save the e-mail as an HTML file, then click the link. Yea right.

I'm sure other people have this problem, so I'm wondering how are you getting around it?

I would trust Microsoft on it. I would imagine they're calling Internet Explorer directly from inside Outlook, whereas if you were to save it as a .html file and then open it, it would just use ShellExecute to open the link with whatever the default browser is ...

Ya I was kind of thinking the same thing. See a link, open via ShellExecute w/ IE and open the web page right? But at the same time, Google's Taskbar Searchbar will open in IE, too.

I'm not looking for anything too indepth. But I'm thinking that there miiight be a way around this.

I'm in the same kind of situation; I use FireFox, which is set at the default browser, and Outlook 2003. But when I click links, html attachments etc, they open in FireFox.
