Sending emailsfrom Outlook

[Brian]

My email client is Outlook yet when I right click a doc,
fax or spreadsheet and select SEND TO and then MAIL
RECIPIENT it opens an email in Outlook
Express. If I open the Doc. or Spreadsheet and select
EMAIL or SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT(AS ATTACHMENT) it opens
the email in Outlook, which is what I want.

ANY suggestions?

What do you show under Control Panel->Internet Options->Programs tab for
your default mail client?

Use the File->send to->option. You might want to register OE as your
default and then Re-register Outlook as the default.

Using File->send to->mail recipipient works just fine, it
opens an email in Outlook. Unfortunately you do not have
this option in the Fax viewer so you have to convert the
Fax using OCR and save it as a Word Doc. and then use the
File->send to-> mail recipient. This is somewhat tedious
if you are sending copies of Fax's to a lot of email
addresses. It is also doubling up work sending copies of
Spread sheets and Word Documents as right clicking them
will only open an email in Outlook Express. Open the
Document or Spread sheet in its appropriate application
and you can use File->send to-> mail recipient and it
opens in Outlook! The problem is the 'right click'
action which opens the wrong email client. Thanks for
your interest.
