how to set up Thunderbird as default email client in Word?
Changed default email program on machine and in windows to Thunderbird. But
when any of the Office2007 Suite program open, the e-mail button only offers a fax option, The e-mail option is unhighlighted, often called "grayed out." I am not a newbie -- I know how to set defaults. But Office 2007 seems to not recognize or acknowledge Thunderbird as the email client. I had no such problem with XP, or Office 2003. Thanks in advance. --dean |

I would try a newsgroup that helps Thunderbird users.

how to set up Thunderbird as default email client in Word?
If you are not a newbie, then please enlighten all us newbies as
to how you set Thunderbird as the default. If you are not a newbie, then you know to close Thunderbird and all Office applications, and then make sure the Mail section of your win.ini file contains all of the following keys/values: [Mail] MAPI=1 CMC=1 CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll MAPIX=1 MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1 OLEMessaging=1 If you are not a newbie, then you know that if you need to modify win.ini, you should use a plain text editor (such as Notepad) to make the modifications, and you should restart Windows to make sure the new win.ini settings take effect. If you are not a newbie, then you know that Thunderbird and Lotus Notes are not completely MAPI-compliant, but instead use SimpleMAPI, which arbitrarily works on some computers but not on others as far as allowing the 'Send To' feature in Office applications to function. deanland wrote: Changed default email program on machine and in windows to Thunderbird.
