Re: Send email from MS Office

Do you have Outlook installed? In order to send mail, Office programs
seem to need the MAPI handlers normally supplied by Outlook.

I use Office 2003, and as far as I can tell, you only get the "Send" or
"Send as Copy" button if you have an email account set up in Outlook, and
you select a recipient from the Outlook contacts.
Clicking on "File" - "Send To" - "Mail Recipient (as attachment)" opens the
default email program, which in my case, is Thunderbird. I'm not sure if
this works with Windows Mail, as it won't attach an open file.

I tested this with both Office 2003 and Office 2007, and Send To -- Mail
Recipient worked with Windows Mail. However, both times I had Outlook
installed. I don't know how to make it work without Outlook's MAPI handler.

Outlook is relatively expensive.
If you need to send a document composed in an Office app, close
the document, then use the 'Attach' feature from within Windows Mail
to send that document.
