Mark found juggling three apps – iCal, Address Book and Apple Mail – too much, so he switched to Entourage.

He makes a good point about the silliness of placing the setting for the default email client inside Mail.app’s preferences. (See also the default web browser setting inside Safari’s preferences).

Very “Microsoft behaviour”. It should, as he suggests, be “application neutral”, stored somewhere in OS X‘s System Preferences.
