If my Outlook Express is my default email program, why in the Internet Options "programs" tab it is grayed out

Assuming your an Administrator user, I think it's one of three things:\n\n1.  A symptom of a "Browser Hijack".  Scan your computer with software like Lavasoft Ad-Aware with up-to-date definitions.\n\n2.  Some other email program is being a little too agressive in making sure it provides you with that "maintenance free" "always reliable" experience.\n\n3.  Just one of those things.  You can do a repair install of Internet Explorer (which is the code behind most of what you see in "Internet Options" whether you're actually using IE or not) by going to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and selecting Internet Explorer, then choosing the "Repair" option. On your system, it may or may not look like this:\nhttp://www.aceexplorer.com/repairie.htm\n\nOf course, you say that Outlook is your default email program.  If it's actually working correctly as your default email program - it opens up outlook when you click on an email link - then I would stop after looking at number one and leave well enough alone.

In outlook express:\n"Tools" menu -> Options -> "Send" tab -> "Plain Text Settings" button, uncheck "Indent the original text with >"\n\nIn Microsoft Outlook:\n"Tools" menu -> Options -> "E-Mail Options" button (in "General Tab") - and in the bottom of the window you have the option to chose whether to prefix a replied or forwarded message or not.

Could you send a screenshot? It sounds like another program is running while your outlook express comes up. Try running a spyware scanner, like Ad-Aware from download.com or spybot search and destroy (search for it on google.com)
