How do I make yahoomail my default email provider?

I want to send a ms publisher newsletter in an email, but default is outlook.
How do I make yahoomail my default email provider?
Clicking on mail links on web sites will transfer control to your default email application (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc). To change it to Yahoo Mail do one of the following (from Yahoo Help). I do not believe you can change the default outside of a browser such as "right click - send to email".





For Firefox 3...





1. Click Options.


2. In the pull-down menu that opens, select Set Y! Mail as default webmail.


3. Next time you click on a mailto link, you'll see a pop-up asking you which email client you'd like to use ( Yahoo! Mail), and if you'd like to make that selection permanent. Click Yes, and you're all done!





If you use Internet Explorer...





The tiny program that allows you to select Yahoo! Mail as the default email application for your PC is included as part of Yahoo! Toolbar version 7.2 and up for Internet Explorer (not Firefox).





If you don't have Yahoo! Toolbar v.7.2 or later for Internet Explorer installed, you’ll need to download it before proceeding with these instructions.





Here’s how to set your PC to open Yahoo! Mail when you click an email link on a web page.





1. From the “Start” pop-up menu in the lower left corner of your desktop, select “Settings” %26gt; “Control Panel”.


2. In the Control Panel, select “Internet Options”. This opens the “Internet Properties” window.


3. Click the “Programs” tab along the top.


4. Click the “E-mail” pull-down menu, and select Yahoo! Mail.


5. Click OK. Done!

Reply:Click Tools%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;then click Internet Options.


In the dialog box that opens, click the "programs" tab across the top, and then, click the down arrow at the end of the Email line, and choose Yahoo Mail. Apply and OK.





Yahoo won't normally appear as a choice on the drop down list -----cause it's web based mail, and not actually installed on your computer.---Sooooo-- you have to force the issue--this way.





If Yahoo doesn't appear on your list, as one of the choices-----you will have to download (or RE-download) Messenger---all of it----and that will put Yahoo on the list.


Now go back (tools-internet options-programs) and you will able to select Yahoo---apply and ok.





Later, you can remove Messenger---if you don't really want it---without affecting the setting.
