How do I set up my Mac so that Entourage and not Mail is the default mail
client? So that when a 'mailto:' link is clicked on a web page in Safari or
Firefox that it launches Entourage and not Mail. I've looked in Entourage
preferences and Safari preferences and I can find no way to do this. Anyone
know? thanks.

For anyone else who looks for the answer here, in OS X 10.4 you change the
default Mail program in the Mail preferences. But I find that did not
completely do the job (and it is absurd to open a program you don't want to
use.) Various people on the newsgroup recommended:

http://www.rubicode.com/Software/Bun...l#RCDefaultApp

It pulls together all such settings in one place and is free and easy to use.
