'mailto' handler - Gmail not Outlook
I've looked elsewhere for an answer to this but to no avail, so thought I'd try here since many likely use Outlook ...
So I like to use Gmail (web access) for all my email (I don't sync email through activesync), and I really like the handling of 'mailto' links that the gmail notifier provides. I also don't want to leave the gmail notifier running, since it uses up too much memory for my liking (i have a small laptop with not enough ram!). This works fine - I set up handling of 'mailto' links through the Gmail notifier application, and then quit that application, and I can click 'mailto' links and they get handled by gmail ....
UNTIL ....
I start Outlook (2003). After I start Outlook, it just takes over handling of these links. I've unchecked the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail ..." in the options, and cannot find any other options to change.
I can repeat the above procedure to make Gmail handle mailto links again, but Outlook will take over again once I start it.
I like to use Outlook for my calendar/contacts/tasks (sync with PPC), but NOT for email.
Anyone have any ideas on how to prevent Outlook from taking over my 'mailto' link handling? Thanks in advance!
