Using "send to/mail recipient (as attachement)" in Word 2003
My wife uses Word from Office 2003 on her laptop, running XP pro. Her
default mail program is Thunderbird 2.0.0.9, which I believe is MAPI compliant. When she selects "send to", "mail recipient (as attachment)" is not present, even though "mail as attachment" is selected under options/general. The option "mail recipient (for review)" is present in the "file/send to" dialogue, but is dimmed. "file/send to/mail recipient as Adobe PDF" is there & non-dimmed, but nothing happens when you select it. Any ideas how to activate "send to/mail recipient (as attachment) in this case? TIA Dan |

According to
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...f0e4a34f9e060b and several other messages turned up by searching the archived Word newsgroups via Google Groups for Thunderbird and Email, Thunderbird is not MAPI compliant. -- Hope this helps.

Huh, I thought it was. Is there any work around for this? My wife prefers to use Tbird for email, it's a new PC, I'm assuming Outlook Express is loaded, might it be possible to use OE just for this purpose, while leaving Tbird as the default for email? |

AFAIK, the default mail program must be MAPI compliant to be able to use the
FileSend command. That is, you would have to set OE, or Outlook as the default mail program. -- Hope this helps.

Using "send to/mail recipient (as attachement)" in Word 2003
Hi Doug,
Both Outlook Express and Thunderbird support 'SimpleMAPI'. The information here may be helpful. http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_support I'm able to use either one in Word 2003 and/or Word 2007 as the email client when it's set as the default (link at the bottom of the above article). =========== "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

Bob - I saw that before posting, it was what I based my "tbird supports mapi" claim upon. I only scanned it initially, looking at in more depth after Doug's reply though, I see it says "Thunderbird's SimpleMAPI support is buggy. It also doesn't fully implement MAPIAddress, MAPIDetails and (more importantly) MAPIResolveName. They always return MAPI_E_FAILURE. Some third party applications that actually only use SimpleMAPI calls check for whether ExtendedMAPI is supported. This is sloppy programming, and there is nothing you can do to work around it. Its difficult to figure out why a particular application works or doesn't work with Thunderbird because there is no MAPI logging file." Since this isn't a tbird group, I figured I'd drop it. Oddly, my wife's previous laptop also ran tbird & word 2003 & did have this functionality. Oddly II, my XP PC runs OE & Word 2007, it also will not do the emailing. Both machines have file sharing & server disabled for wireless security, which we've only begun to use. A long shot probably, but any relation? Thanks for the continued replies. Dan |

Using "send to/mail recipient (as attachement)" in Word 2003
Hi Dan,
Word 2007 uses Outlook Express or Thunderbird for me worked equally well in Windows XP without a problem until the 2.0.0.9 Thunderbird update, while others have reported that for them these do not work. With the 2.0.0.9 update the Send as Email Attachment still works from within Word, but using the email envelope from within Word now only works with Outlook or Outlook Express. In Word 2007 use Office Files Button=Word Options=Customize and from the All commands section put Send to Mail Recipent and choices on the Quick Access toolbar then in either Thunderbird or Outlook express set one or the other to be the default email client (and have a working POP3/SMTP server connection setup in an account in that email client). If you run Word do either of the added QAT commands work? ============ "Dan" wrote in message . .. Bob - I saw that before posting, it was what I based my "tbird supports mapi" claim upon.
