I've not seen any word from MS about this but AFAIAA, Word 2007 will only
let you send as an email when you are using Outlook 2007 as the email
client. Otherwise you can only send as an attachment.

I find it amazing that this many have had the same problem, and yet MS
Office
2007/Vista has not provided a fix. It is obviously very common, and yet
there
are still denials that it happens. Let's get with it - cut the dialogue
and
fix it.
Fix the "Send-Email" gray-out that occurs within the WORD 2007/Vista
program! anyone that needs to can do a work around through their email
program using an attachment - but if that is the case, and the only fix,
why
include the grayed out EMAIL prompt. Isn't anyone from Microsoft
listening/watching to this dialogue on the www.microsoft.com website?

So it works on XP, but has anyone figured out for Vista yet? Seems
strange
that Word2007 wouldn't recognize the default program (Windows Mail) but
only
the one that either comes by itself as a single expensive program
(Outlook),
or as an even more expensive package deal... or does it?

That's good news, since I use Outlook Express, but I'd heard rumors
that
Word 2007 was honoring only Outlook.

Evidently Word 2007 recognizes only Outlook 2007 as a mail client.
Not on XP - if I set Thunderbird as my default email client instead
of
Outlook, Word 2007 calls Thunderbird when I email a document from
within
Word...
