Overview: Import Outlook 'Mail' and it reports "Unable to find mail to import.
Check to make sure the mail application is correctly installed on this machine",
and no messages are imported.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Internet Explorer go to Tool|Internet Options, Programs tab and set the
default mail application to something other than Outlook.
2. Create a new profile in Netscape6 
3. Open Mail and exit out of the Account Wizard dialog
4. File|Import, select the Mail radio button
5. Select "Outlook", Next button

Actual Results: Reports the error "Unable to find mail to import. Check to make
sure the mail application is correctly installed on this machine".

Workaround: In Internet Explorer set the default mail application to Outlook.
Now importing Outlook Mail is successful.

Expected Results: It would be better not to require the user to open Internet
Explorer to set Outlook as the default mail application.
