Kendall, It sounds as though when you installed Netscape Communicator, it took the liberty of making itself your “default” email client program as well. The Netscape email client actually runs Netscape.exe to get started. IE does the same thing except the email client of IE is called Outlook Express.

The default email client only makes a difference if you're trying to send a file, such as an image, directly by its context menu. In that case your operating system tries to start the registered default email client to send the file.

You can simply start Outlook, open a new message and use the little paperclip icon to attach your image. It will give you a little file chooser panel that will allow you to select your My Documents folder then select your image and attach it to your email message.

After sending the file, you'll also want to go to your Tools,Options… menu in Outlook, select the Other tab and check the box labeled “Make Outlook the default program…”. This will fix your problem so that the next time you want to send a file directly, Outlook will be opened to perform the task.
