Thanks for your report. It is amazing all the problems that Norton
security software can cause, just by being installed.

What Gary said.

Wasn't particularly helpful. I encountered the same problem. It appears
that Windows Mail was calling Internet Explorer with the "-extoff" flag or
doing something else of a like or similar nature. There is no way to fix the
problem by dinking with Internet Explorer unless you know of a way to tell it
to ignore the extoff flag.

IE worked fine from any desktop icon except the one that is labelled to
start Internet Explorer with no add-ons. As an experiiment, i searched the
system for "extoff" and removed it wherever found, including in registry
entries, and that also did not solve the problem.

Finally, I compared my new system to another one that does not have the
problem, looking for differences, and the first one I noticed was that the
system with the problem also had "Norton 360" installed but not enabled.
Uninstalling that resolved the problem.

I realize that I'm coming late to this discussion, but hope that someone
else finding it the same way I did, by googling the error message with
"windows mail' appended, may find it useful.

This is a Vista email question. The issue is directly related to Windows

This is relatively new. I have to close IE, open it from the task bar,
paste
in the link and everything works okay. Tried "manage add-ons" with no
success.
