Setting Mail Client

Hot Key: ALT-O

This option will allow a client to launch their own Mail Client as a result of double clicking on a "You Have New Mail..." message.

Launch Mail  Select this Radio Button to allow the user to launch a Windows-based E-Mail Client by double clicking on a "You Have New Mail..." message. You will need to specify a File Name.

File Name  If the Launch Mail button is enabled then you will be able to enter the full path and filename of the Mail Client. As an example, enter c:\LsMail21\lsmail.exe. If the Launch Mail field is not enabled, this field will be disabled(grey). If a Windows Mail Client is selected then Double Clicking on a Mail message will either result in the loading of the executable(if not currently running) or the transfer of control to the already running Mail Client executable. WhoDunit will track the Mail Client's Window Handle to prevent multiple copies of the same application.This feature can not be extended to a DOS Mail client and will result in the execution of a new DOS Mail client each time a Mail message is selected. Whodunit will not remove the Mail Client upon exit.
