What version of Windows do you have? With XP and 2000 at least, you can download a patch that will put a "Set Program Access and Defaults" button on your start menu, and you can select the default mail program from there. Otherwise you can look through Netscape preferences and see if you can find a "Always check to see if Netscape is the default mail program" or similar, option.

Actually, I was just thinking that you probably meant a hotmail.com address, in which case you need to set the default web browser to Netscape. Same thing as above but substitute web browser for mail program.
