"Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window DBourne 5/3/2007 2:43:01 AM I am unable to attach a photo to e-mail (or any other attachment) in Windows Explorer in Vista. For example, with a photo, I right-click, select "Send to....Email Recipient", select size, slect "Attach", and then nothing happens. A mail window does not open. This is also the case when trying to attach ANY file using the right-click context menu method. Other attach methods work (i.e. "drag-and-drop"), but this is major issue with photos, since I have very large photo files that need to be re-sized by Windows before being attrached to Outlook mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail win DBourne 5/3/2007 4:08:02 PM Thanks very much for the response. I neglected to mention that I had already set my E-mail client (Outlook 2007) as my default mail client using "Default Programs" as you outline below. This has not solved the problem. I suspect this is an issue with Outlook 2007/Office 2007 and Vista not working together correctly, perhaps something in the Microsoft code that, even though Outlook is set as default e-mail client, Windows Vista thinks it should be working with Windows Mail. Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas?

Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail win DBourne 5/6/2007 9:49:00 PM Ramesh, I am sad to report that this might not be the fix after all, or at least not a permanent one. I am back to having the same problem as before. I have gone back to Default Programs, set Outlook as my default mail program once again, but this time I still do not get an e-mail to open. This is maddening. Any other ideas? PS - Is Windows "stealing" my settings and resetting Windows Mail as a default? There is a default setting for Windows Mail that cannot be un-checked, for files with an extension .eml.

Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window rbender <rbender.2q7um7[ at ]no-mx.forums.net> 5/7/2007 1:51:28 PM I had the same problem and worked on it for a few hours today (not a computer expert) and found a solution. If you have windows Vista and want to Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient and have open with Outlook 2007 but can only get windows mail to open or while adjusting settings and testing, keeps defaulting back to windows mail, or no response at all , try the following things. (in no particular order) 1. Start: Default programs: Set program access and computer defaults: Custom: under choose default email program click the radio button that says use current email program then also make sure the windows mail radio button is empty and the box next to it enable access to this program is unchecked ((you will no longer see windows mail in your start menu and some other places) (note: this final step may not be necessary if you still want access to this program maybe ok to keep it checked)) 2. Start: Default programs: Set default programs: (if completed the above step you might not see windows mail listed anymore). Click Microsoft office outlook. Click set this program as default, after you should see the message directly above "this program has all its defaults. 3. Start: Default programs: associate a file type or default with a program. click current default to alphabetize the default programs list: scroll down look for windows mail, if the .eml file type is still set to windows mail change it to outlook 2007 by clicking change program: browse search and select outlook.exe 4. After did all of the above was still not working for me after many attempts, so I then went online with internet explorer, from any website click on any send to: email address to send mail, now an outlook 2007 message window should open. Close it. Now in windows try right click your file or image: send to : mail recipient. It should now be working properly and finally open an outlook 2007 message window with your selected file/s attached. I don’t know why this final step #4 fixed the problem when all else failed. I assume that somehow opening outlook 2007 from internet explorer in this way created a missing file or setting that enabled windows vista Right click : send to: mail recipient function to work properly. I don’t know if this had anything to do with it but I changed my windows User name a few weeks ago when the system was new after installing outlook 2007 and afterwards I was still seeing remnants of my old user name in some systems files or settings so I changed it back to the original user name also (before step #1-4) so changing my user name likely did not have anything to do with the fix/solution above and not needed to fix but might have been the reason for the failure. I’m curious if anyone else that is experiencing this problem also changed there user name before experiencing this trouble. I never used the right click send to mail recipient function before changing my user name so not sure if this was the cause. -- rbender

Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window rbender <rbender.2q7ys3[ at ]no-mx.forums.net> 5/7/2007 3:24:12 PM Edit to my last posted solution for those experiencing this problem. After changing your settings in #1-3 mentioned previously. revised step #4: opening a send to: email window from internet explorer online with outlook 2007 and keeping it open will allow you to successfully “right click send to mail recipient” in outlook 2007 as long as the email window you opened with internet explorer remains open but shortly after closing that same email window outlook 2007 (which was running in the background(if was not previously open) will shut down and the right click send to email recipient function will stop working. If you already had outlook open or open it while the internet explore opened email is open the right click function will continue to work with outlook until you close outlook even if you close the internet explorer opened email. If you close the emails and outlook and you later reopen outlook the “right click send to mail recipient” function will not work unless you open email window from within internet explorer again fix mentioned above. For example go to any websites contact us page and click the email or link to send email, once the outlook email window opens if you already have outlook open or open it then you can close that email without sending it and now your windows vista right click: send to: mail recipient: will work with outlook 2007 until you close it. This is obviously not a permanent solution. If anyone has the permanent solution (aside from reinstall outlook 2007 or windows) please post it. -- rbender
