Why do I "HAVE" to have "OUTLOOK EXPRESS" for my email? I hate it and don't want it so what can I do about it??

I used to have HOTMAIL for my email and now it's been PERMANENTLY changed to OUTLOOK EXPRESS. OUTLOOK screws up my emails when I want to forward something; if I send someone an email that I got from someone else it shows ALL the information of who sent it to me, etc. I do NOT like OUTLOOK and would like to know how to get rid of it without changing my email address. I know if I switch to gmail I won't be "forced" to have it but I would just as soon not have to do that. Please let me know "IF" there is anything I can do about this. CMKT

Hello CMKT, try to change that, and select your hotmail in Applications panel > mailto, see : Change the program used to open email links


thank you
