Sending e-mail with Windows Mail

[lbeemer]

I have created an e-mail newsletter in Publisher 2007 and want to send it to
my customers using my default e-mail program - Windows Mail. However when I
try to send it, Publisher tells me that Microsoft Outlook is not my default
mail client, do I want to change it. The answer is NO, I do not. But once I
choose the NO option it will not send at all. Everywhere I look says this
will work with Windows Mail, so why is Publisher so set on Outlook being my
default e-mail program? Is there a setting somewhere in Publisher that I need
to change?

Thanks!!
Leslie

scratch that- the error I get reads "Either there is no default mail client
or the current mail client cannot fullfill the messaging request. Please run
Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.

In Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options, Programs tab, Set programs
button... Maybe by setting the default here will solve your problem.

Yeah, I tried that. It did not work.

You are going to get better answers or maybe a solution in an Outlook group or
maybe a Vista newsgroup.

First, Are you sure that all customers have Publisher installed? If they
don't, they can't read it. There are no viewers. Best to create a pdf and
attach that. Your formatting will be true. No pdf writer, PrimoPDF is
available free at http://www.primopdf.com
Good luck.
