''send page'' as e-mail not working


About a month ago, the IE feature ''send page'' as an e-mail stopped
working. Over the years I've used that feature DAILY to send articles
to friends with my notes. I do NOT want to send the page as an
''attachment'' or send only a URL. I want to send the entire page as an

e-mail as I've always done for years now. There's no reason I shouldn't

be able to.


But, starting about a month ago, suddenly Outlook will only let me send

as an attachment and even Outlook Express will only let me send as a
URL. (I tried using OE just to see if it would work.) On my company
computer this feature still works fine, but on my home computer it's
suddenly invalid.


The error message I get is "the current document can not be sent as
mail. Would you like to send a short cut instead? (Outlook Express) or
sometimes in Outlook the e-mail message opens up as empty but the page
is already made into an attachment. I do not want this! I want the page

INSIDE the e-mail message as it always has been.


I use Windows XP Pro, IE 6, Outlook 2003, and OE 6, using a computer I
built myself almost a year ago. SOMETHING has changed. I had downloaded

the usual Windows and Office patches and updates around that time, so I

suspect something Microsoft slipped in my computer has now broken that
IE feature. I did a system restore back to the earliest date I could
but to no avail.


Anyone else encounter this or have any ideas? I'm fairly knowledgeable
about computers and software -- I build my own computers and have done
so for friends too. But, this one stumps me. I saw one reference to
someone else having this problem in the news groups, but the suggestion

was to try disabling firewall and anti-virus. I did that temporarily,
but problem still persisted. I do think it has something to do with a
mis-guided security update or patch.


I am willing to edit the registry if I have to and I love that feature
so much I'm thinking about reformatting my hard drive if I have to and
starting over.


I just want this feature to work again. Thanks.

is your e-mail format default HTML? I have, and this works fine. Look from
Outlook Tools - Options - Mail format page
