Which client are you using? It might be an anti-phishing feature.

outlook express - 1 day working, next day nowt

I had a similar problem with my email client. I use Thunderbird, but it might still apply to Outlook.

As with you, it was ok one day, but gone the next.

Had to re-associate the URL:Hytpertext Transfer Protocol file type with Internet Explorer.

For me, editting the open action didnt work, but deleting and re-creating the "open" action did.

I seem to remember the same thing happened to me. I had to hi-lite open, and click remove instead.

Then did "New" typed "open" as the action and chose internet explorer as the application. (Browsing to C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe)

Then just okayed everything.
