Re: Making Mozilla default for reading hotmail



Greetings Pete,

If you're using MSN Messenger (not Windows Live Messenger) you can use Messenger Plus
(www.msgplus.net) and StuffPlug-NG (www.stuffplug.com) to override this and utilize the
default browser.

However, there is no way with just Messenger to change this. Links sent to you in instant
messages however should open in your default browser.

I may be totally confused here - but humour me please!

I use Mozilla all the time now in preference to IE. I have set it to my
default browser, which is fine. However, if I open Messenger and pull
up my e-mails it is using IE. I can't seem to locate a way round this.
I can quite understand Mr Gates not being very co-operative on this but
is there any way round this, please?
