Changing e-mail application for the send command

Hi

I have both Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird here in my PC (running Windows XP). I use Outlook for the calendar and contacts, but I prefer Thunderbird's e-mail function a lot more. Thunderbird is already set as my default e-mail program, and it is also what opens when I type Run, then "mailto:e-mail@example.com". However, when I use Textpad's send command (under file...), it will always open Outlook's mail compose window instead of Thunderbird's. Why? Already tried navigating through the "control folders" but then I don't know the correct parameters.

How do I make Textpad have Thunderbird to be opened when I use the File -> send comand?

Already tried searching "send mail", "send command" "send e-mail" and "mailto:"

Help appreciated in advance! :)

Thanks a lot sir, and sorry for apparently have abandoned the topic; I thought I enabled the e-mail notification.

I'll take a look into that arcticle, thanks!
