When responding to website emails addresses I would like to use my Yahoo email rather than being defaulted to MS Outlook. Where do I set this?

How do I set up my Yahoo email to be the default compose email rather than my MS Outlook?
To setup yahoo email as your default mail using Internet Explorer.


* Download and install yahoo messenger.


* Click “tools”%26gt;“Internet Options”%26gt;”programs tab” in the menu.


* Make sure yahoo mail is selected under e-mail.


* Click OK. yahoo mail as default using IE is not compatible when using windows vista.





To setup yahoo email as your default mail using Firefox 3 (Yahoo now recommend you use this browser) and it will work with Vista.


* Download and install firefox 3 http://downloads.yahoo.com/?p=win


* After installation and when you have Firefox 3 up and running, click "tools", then "options".


* In the options window that pops up, click the applications tab.


* Scroll down to “mailto” and change to “use yahoo mail”


* Finally click “OK”.
