I have Outlook 97 and the latest version of Outlook express on my computer. My ISP, Cox Cable, uses Outlook express for mail.
I cannot send mail from my browser.
I go to the program tab in MSIE to choose a mail progrm and NONE are listed. How doI get my mail programs into the pull down menu in MSIE?
I tried to get tech support from MS for MSIE 5.x, but they said my product ID was not elgible for free tech support and it is the latest version!

Microsoft Internet Explorer is classed as a chargeable technicial support application, only because its a free-bie! I had the same problem with MS, until I called them direct, and gave them my Windows 98 product ID. I just explained that there stupid auto-updater downloaded the new version when I didn't want it to. Anyway, I've found that the only way I was able to put the E-Mail program into the list is to re-install the application. Any problems, give me a shout on my E-Mail (phil.kesteven@ntlworld.com) Phil

Outlook Express is part of IE. If outlook express or any other mail program doesn't show up IE needs to be reinstalled to pick up any mail programs you have, then you can pick one.
