KM IS my default browser. Registry export follows with spaces edited ( /space/ = '_' ).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm]
"PerceivedType"="text"
@="K-Meleon.HTML"
"Content'_'Type"="text/html"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html]
"PerceivedType"="text"
@="K-Meleon.HTML"
"Content'_'Type"="text/html"

I'm using XP Pro SP2 and my default mailer is OExpress.

Registry export:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\K-Meleon\K-Meleon\General]
