Default File, Send To..., Mail Recipient (as Attachment)...

We are using Windows XP Professional SP2 and MS Office 2002 SBE.

This has happened on a few PCs. I have been unable to track down a fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if it is actually an
Outlook issue or something else.

If you are in a MS application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and select File,
Send To..., Mail Recipient (as Attachment)..., type in the email address into
Outlook that you want to send the message to, press the Send button, to goes
through the spell checker and the message doesn't go anywhere. It just has
"This message has not been sent."

The same thing happens if you right click on a file and choose Send To...,
Mail Recipient (as Attachment)...

I've updated, removed and reinstalled, deleted and recreated mail profiles,
etc... with no real answer. This started when I installed the BlackBerry
software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I had a slightly related problem with XP SP1 and Office 2003. When someone
goes to Send To Mail Recipient (As Attachment) in Word, it tries to open up
Netscape. However, everything else that calls upon emails apps opens up
Outlook.

You might look in C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo. There should be
an icon of an envelope that says Mail Recipient. If you right click on it
the General Tab should open. A few lines down it says "Opens with:" Is that
associated with Netscape? If so, you can change the associated to Outlook.

I hope this helps!

I get the same problem with Outlook 2000, through Windows Explorer right
click Send To Mail Recipient, but also with Winzip context menu e-mailing
as well.

A new mail message pops up but it won't let you send it. The send button
doesn't work and doesn't give me an error msg.

My work around has been to save the message, which saves it in the inbox
with no recipient specified for some reason, then I open it (the recipient's
name is present within the message window) and hit send.

I can't find a fix anywhere so far.

This appears to be a common problem and no one has a real solution so far.
We can drag and drop files at least.

I would think MS would read through these issues and come up with fixes for
them. Especially with the increased interest in Open Source alternatives
like Open Office.

Anyway, if I get a solution I'll post it here so that others will know too.
