Almost! People who use Outlook and Outlook Express on the same PC (I realize there's no reason for this but people do it other than personal choice.) will get a dialog presented when they start either non-default email program asking if it should be the default email program. If they say yes and don't check the "don't ask me again" box of the dialog. They can fight each other for eternity. I've run into people who have told me this has happened for months!
