How do I get my default mail to be MSN?

This way when I click on a email link, It will open a MSN “send email message” box rather than it opening a windows email box?

BTW, This is for Vista also. I’m sure they may do it a lil different, well actually they must because I know how to do it on XP

I just did that and it’s still using Windows.
