Internet Explorer 5.0 E-mail Default

[dovesm]

In Internet Explorer 5.0 I'm trying to have GroupWise be my default E-mail program so when I click on a link to an email address on a webpage it will automatically launch GroupWise. Right now it tries to launch Microsoft Outlook which we don't use. Under Tools/Internet Options/Programs/E-mail, it does not give me the option to choose any other email program (nothing appears but Outlook and in some cases nothing appears at all). Please tell me what I need to do to enter GroupWise into this field.

From what I understand the choices in the drop-down-list-box viewed after the navigation:

Control Panel
Internet options
programs
e-mail drop-down-list-box

are placed there after successful installation of
e-mail software like Hotmail, GroupWise etc.

Has this been done?

Yes - GroupWise was installed and is working properly (except when trying to click on an email link on a web page).

Then I don't know the answer to your problem but I'll continue looking.

I did find the following in IE 5.0 Help :

Help
Contents and Index
Type "mail program" in the single line entry
Display

shows

Tips
To start another Internet program from within Internet Explorer,
click the Tools menu,
point to Mail & News,
and then click a command.

The problem is the "and then click a command" isn't there.

I quess we wait for a "Real Guru"

Thanks for your response and I hope you can find an answer to this issue. I had also checked the Help feature and found it to be of no use.
