I'm afraid you're missing the main point of the KB article Doug referred you
to: Those features only work if you're using Outlook as your email client
which - according to your op - you're not, you're using Windows Mail:
CAUSE
This issue may occur when Microsoft Outlook is not installed on the
computer.
Just in case you do have Outlook & intend to change to it as your email
client, the instructions in that article appear to be incomplete. Once you
get to the Programs page you need to click the Set Programs button in the
bottom section [Internet Programs], then click the link for "Set program
access & computer defaults" & "Continue" - that's where you'll finally get
to the Custom setting. Click the double down arrow adjacent to Custom & pick
the "Choose a default e-mail program:" option for Microsoft Office Outlook.
I don't think they could have buried it any deeper if they'd tried :-) Ahhh,
so much for "accessibility" & "discoverability", huh?

I'm trying to send a word document as an attachment to my "Windows Mail"
and
it won't let me. I know I did this before and it worked. I don't know
what
I'm doing wrong now. This is what I did:
I rec'd an email from a company and they gave me a link to reply to. When
I
clicked on that link I rec'd a message saying:
Internet Exployer cannot download. Unspecified error. So I replied to
the
company and told them the link didn't work. They replied back to me
saying
they tried it and it worked for them and for me to try it again. I did.
It
gave me the same message.
So I want to send them a cc of the error screen that appeared in the email
they sent me.
So I copied the page and pasted it on a Word Document and saved it. I
opened it and went down to "Send" and the option to email was not
highlighted
so I couldn't do it.
Any Suggestions ?????
Thanks.
