By defualt eamil client, do you mean the program that appears when you click on a link such as

<A HREF='sendto:joe@aol.com'>Send me some spam today!</A>

If so, there is a bunch of related info here:

How to Change Default Mail Client for Internet Explorer (Q154359)
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q154/3/59.asp

This also describes the relevant registry locations.

You can manually change it by using the Explorer menu:

  Tools, Folder Options,
  File Types, N/A URL:MailTo, Advanced
