Email and Vista

can I set up the file menu to use another email program I use such as Yahoo.
Or does it just go automatically to Windows mail? Do I have to send emails as
an attachment to use Yahoo?

What do you mean by "Yahoo"?
Yahoo webmail or Yahoo POP mail?

My yahoo email address. Is that pop? I wanted to be able to send an email
directly from the document file menu rather than using attachments with my
email address. Is this possible?

What do you mean by "the document file menu"?

You don't know if your Yahoo mail is webmail or POP mail?
If you read that mail on the web with a browser like Internet
Explorer, it is webmail. If you download your mail and read it
with an email program, it is POP mail.

I know of no way to have Yahoo webmail come up when,
for example, you have a Word document open and you click
on File, Send to E-mail recipient. That is one of the limitations
of webmail.

It's the button to pull down options on the top left of the page (ex. if you
want to print, preview, save as, send to, etc.)

I believe it's pop mail when it was set up. So is hot mail that I use for
this. Optonline.net is webmail.

"Optonline" tells me you are in the US.
US-based free Yahoo accounts are webmail only.
Free Hotmail accounts are almost always webmail.
It isn't clear to me if you want to use Hotmail or
Yahoo mail. If you get the free Live Hotmail upgrade,
then there is a tool that will make it your default email.
See http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/224/1/

I don't know of an equivalent tool for Yahoo webmail.

I assume you are talking about things like "Send to e-mail
recipient." In order to use that feature, your favorite email
program has to be made the default email program.
