Hi All,
I tried making an alias of CE and putting that ijn Tiger applications folder but it didn't work. Too much to expect it to be that simple I guess. There has to be some simple way to do this though. Actually isn't this a breach of some legal requirement similar to the OE thing with M$oft ? This seems to hold... Make an app in automator which opens CE. Save that app in the Tiger apps folder. Chage Mail default to be that app. (eg CE.app) Havn't tested it but at least mail retains the setting.
