Re: Send To Mail Recipient

If you set the email defaults to a different email client (e.g. Opera), does the Right-click->Send to->Mail recipient, and IE's File->Send-> Page by E-mail.../Link by E-mail... functions work for that email client?

By the way, you can ignore Jack's suggestion to bottom post... When replying to someone who is top-posting, it makes sense to continue top-posting, just as it makes sense to continue bottom-posting when replying to someone who is bottom-posting. Thus, to break the flow mid-thread, is as unhelpful as Jack's posts.

It would help if you mentioned your Operating System though. Obviously it is not WinXP...

I just realised that Opera Mail does not have MAPI support, so that is why it did not work for Opera. Thunderbird has MAPI support, for what it's worth...

I was hoping to discover whether it was a problem with WLMail or with Windows' MAPIMail.

It seems it was a problem with WLMail...

Thanks for the feedback Peter.

Peter..
Thanks for all the details yielding a solution.

If I may ask a few questions...

1. What AV program and if present Anti-Malware programs run resident ?
2. On this system...was WLM 2009 the previous email program, nothing, or
something else(e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, etc)

Hi Peter,

If you're not afraid of the registry, I suggest you check your registry key
for the mailto. It
should be as shown in that screenshot :

Hope this might be of some help.

Hello Winston,

To answer your questions:

AV software running resident is Zone Alarm Extreme Security. Windows
Defender is running resident too (I have read conflicting opinions as to
whether or not I should allow both to run but they seem to get along just
fine and I don't have any problems).

WLM 2009 was the previous email program. However, it is a while now since I
updated this and it had been working just fine. I can't remember doing
anything different when the problem started. I know that I had used it a
couple of days beforehand with no problems.

Hope this is helpful to you (and others).

Peter
