Marty:

I took your suggestion about Googling for an answer.  After about six 
different solution which failed, I came across

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

which suggested I make Outlook Express the default mail handler (D'oh!). 
Don't know why it got unset but that solved the problem.

Windows...you gotta love it...
