Question

change email program that opens when clicking an email address in Safari?

Can I set Safari to open Microsoft Entourage as my default email program? Currently Safari always opens Eudora when I click on an email address. I found a place in Firefox to set it, but I can't find a place to set it in Safari. Safari Help was useless as usual.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You set the default email program in Mail. Go to Preferences > General and select your preferrred default email program from the pop-up menu.

You won't find this in Safari's Help, since it has nothing to do with Safari.

Thanks. It didn't occur to me to open Mail, because I don't use it for my email. How many programs let you select their competitors? Usually they ask to be selected over their competitors. And the fact that I could set my preferred mail program within Firefox suggested that I should be able to do the same in Safari...
