how do i make my aol mail the default 'mail to' link when i click on a reply link as in craigslis

more options

i recently started using firefox and was on craigslist. i clicked on a 'reply to' link to ask seller a question. with windows vista, it linked me to my outlook to send that email. with firefox, a dialog box opened and asked me to select a mail account--aol was my choice and it works great. i purchased a new computer with windows 7 and installed firefox. when i tried again to reply to a craigslist post, the dialog box opened but aol was not one of the options. i want to know how to set that up. the help section was no help to me. thanks.

i tried that...when i get to the list of programs, AOL is not one of them. i guess what i need to know is how to add AOL to the list. thanks for all the help

i don't know if you figured this out, are still seeking an answer, or just gave up. i finally found out how to do it after a long search myself:

-go to your webmail.aol.com account -options-->settings-->compose -scroll down and you'll see an option to "Use AOL Mail as your email client when browsing web pages." select it. -restart firefox and AOL should be at the top of the list, or go to tools-->options-->applications and scroll down to "mail to" and select AOL so it is ALWAYS the choice.
