Default Setting Default Email Client

WIN XP HE
Hi,. I use a program that has a menu item as such: Tool|Read Mail
This is (obviously) designed to open up your default email client (in my
case Outlook 2002).
Unfortunately for me, for some unknown reason, when I try to use this
option, it wants me to install MSN Explorer--just as if I had chosen hotmail
as my default email or MSN Explorer.
In my IE 6 settings under Programs, Outlook is the default email client.
I have also notice some registry keys that could be causing this incorrect
behavior but I am not sure.
Is there a setting that I can modify to "release" this MSN Explorer thing?
Perhaps, the program I use is looking at some WIN XP setting and thinks that
MSN Explorer is connected to my default email client....
Suggestions?
Tx,
S
