I'm using iPhoto yesterday to email a few pics to my mom. When I go to mail them, my mail option in the bottom taskbar has turned to entourage. So I go to iPhoto preferences to change my email default to Apple Mail, but when I get there every option for my email is grayed out. It will only let me choose entourage.

Any ideas how to change it back to Apple Mail? Any ideas on how it got changed in the first place? I've used Apple Mail before in iPhoto, so this is really weird.

Thanks

Open Mail. Go to the Mail > Preferences menu item. Select the General preferences pane. At the Default Email Reader: pop-up menu, select Mail.
 
Go to system preferences
Choose Internet
Click on the e-mail tab
Choose Mail

It sounds like Entourage removes the ability to change to any other mail application unless you do it manually.
 
Panther dosen't have an Internet pref pane, you have to go into Mail or Safari to change those preferences. Stupid, I know.
 
my pref pane for default email is greyed out on America Online?? which I don't have yet it still opens Apple Mail when I want to mail something
