I was having difficulty using Minotaur as my default mail handler for Windows 2k. Every time I set it to be the default, Phoenix would continue to launch Outlook when I clicked a Mailto: link. The FAQ suggested going into IE internet options and making sure Minotaur was the default there, too. It was, but it still wouldn't work. Then the default in IE changed to Outlook. I changed it back and applied the changes, and now clicking on a mailto: link will OPEN Minotaur, but it won't open a new message for composing. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Any suggestions for making it work?

Unfortunately, Minotaur doesn't correctly register itself as the default mailto: protocol handler on Windows. You will have to fix this manually.
In Windows XP/2000, select Folder Options in the Control Panel, then click on the File Types tab. Here, browse to the file type called (None) URL:MailTo Protocol and click Advanced. Select the open action and click Edit. Here, uncheck the Use DDE option and specify the full path to minotaur.exe in the Application used to perform action field. Enclose the path in quotation marks and append -mail %1. The result should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Minotaur\minotaur.exe" -mail %1

I had the same problem. I did notice however changing the registry to that does work if minotaur is running when you click on a mailto link.
