"Send to Mail Recipient Icon" - Associate with Thunderbird

[Sylny]

How do I associate my "Send to Mail Recipient" icon on the Word97 toolbar
with the Thunderbird mail program? It currently opens up the old email
"Outlook" program

 

[Stefan Blom]

Have you tried setting Thunderbird as the the default e-mail application on
your system?

 

[Sylny]

Yes, it was, is set to default email, but that doesn't seem to make any
difference. It's the Vista operating system, if that's relevant.
Thanks,
Sylvia

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but it seems as if the Send to Mail
Recipient command in Word is hard-coded to work with Microsoft Outlook only.

But you can send as an attachment from any mail client.

For your sake and mine, I hope you're wrong, There's corporate arrogance and there's foolhardy corporate arrogance.

Yes, of course, I should have mentioned that.

As Suzanne suggests, save the file and send it as an attachment instead.
