Do you know how I can test out a MAPI attempt
The Send To > Mail Recipient does a MAPI call. You can try it and see.
Further, if you're using Task Manager, arrange the "Process" column so that the processes display with proper hierarchy, rather than listing all processes parallely. (For hierarchial view, you need to click the "Process" column header twice). When the Outlook.exe is triggered, open Process Explorer, and look for the parent process.
Alternately if you know scripting, you may write a Process Monitoring script using WMI that monitors the create event for outlook.exe and displays the Parent Process Id. You may use "Win32_Process" for that. For sample process monitoring scripts, see the "Scripting Guy" colums at Microsoft.com

Thanks. I ran Spybot and it found 94 problems which I removed except for 3 items that appear to be Microsoft related. I also checked out
Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab > Email
and it has Pegasus Mail listed which is correct.
Regarding the possibility of mailto, CDO or MAPI, I tried creating a one line HTML file:
<a href="mailto:blahblah";>mail</a>
where blahblah is my email address and clicking on the link it shows does try to bring up Pegasus mail thus its not a mailto.
Do you know how I can test out a MAPI attempt and a CDO attempt to see if they try to start Outlook or Pegasus? If I can determine that both these routes attempt to start Pegasus I guess I can assume its attempting to access Outlook. Is that right? The trouble I have is that its not easy to tell if I have fixed it since it only comes up a few minutes after each reboot thus it would be good if I could eliminate all possibilities that its not like CDO and MAPI. If I can eliminate these possibilities then I am hoping that there will be some way of logging all Outlook accesses so that when I get the popup I can look back in the log.

Update 1 & 2 before running a scan.
