Email Choice?

I am using Outlook (for business) and Outlook Express (for personal use). Is
there a way for me to have a choice of which email client to use other than
a default setting when sending an email?

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid not but you might want to consider moving your personal email
to Outlook as Outlook is much easier to back up, doesn't have size
limits like OE does, etc. Also, OE is no longer supported.

You could use outlook for both, otherwise that is the only way. If you tend
to click a lot of mailto urls or use file, send to commands for one account,
set it as default. You can also set up a personal acct in outlook and use
it for sending from the personal acct using mailto's etc (enter a fake POP
server so you don't download mail into outlook).
