Using Outlook Express to Email

[mike carrington]

I just got Word 2003 and want to email a document using Outlook Express.
How can I 'install' an option or parameter such that Word will use OE to
email the document? I don't have Office.

I'm using XP, SP-2 and am current with all updates. Thank you very much in
advance.

Open OE, start an new email and attach your Word file.

I can't do it from within Word? That's what I'd really like to do...

Thanks much.

Then what happens when you try to send your Word doc as an email? What steps
are you taking?

I use OE to send attachments from Word: File | Send To | Mail Recipient (as
Attachment). To do this I believe you must have "Mail as attachment" checked
on the General tab of Tools | Options. I assume I could also use File | Send
To | Mail Recipient (which would send the document as the body of the
message), but I've never had the need to do this. All you need is to have OE
selected as your default mail client.

Thanks Suzanne,

You've got the issue nailed. What I want to do is File>Send To>Mail
Recipient. 1) Mail Recipient (For Review) is greyed out, 2) I don't want to
send it "For Review" but as a final message, and 3) How do I select OE as my
default mail client? #1 is a new issue but #2 is a concern, and 3) was the
original reason for this query.

Thanks a million for your help.

I have Mail Recipient, Mail Recipient (for Review), and Mail Recipient (as
Attachment). Note that if you do send it "for Review," the Reviewing toolbar
will be displayed by default in the document when the recipient opens it.

You select OE as the default mail client on the Programs tab of Internet
Options (accessible from Windows Control Panel or the Tools menu in Internet
Explorer.

If all your settings are correct and you still have problems, I don't know
what else to tell you, though others here may. If not, you might get a
better answer in an OE NG.

Check your WIN.INI file for the following [Mail] key values:

[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMC=1
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

Thanks much, Suzanne and Garfield.

Garfield, I made the changes to the WIN.INI file (Boy! Sure had to dredge
up some memories about how to line edit a file!). Suzanne, I checked
Internet Explorer Programs page and Outlook Express was already checked as
the default. One possibility...my default browser is FireFox - not Internet
Explorer. Would that make a difference? I don't remember how to change
that or I'd check.

Also, when I am in Word and click on "File -> Send To", only "Mail Recipient
(For Review)..." is displayed and it is greyed out. I can't even test the
new code to see if that makes any difference. How can I send a real
message?

Again, thank you both. I really appreciate it.
