Howq to send using Thunderbird.
I'm using Word 2007 in Windows 7 (64 bit) and Thunderbird 3.0.3.
I've verified that Thunderbird is the default mail handler. I've gone to the default programs control panel and double checked that Thunderbird is checked for MAILTO and Send mail, and that Outlook is unchecked for both. Despite this, whenever I try to send as email from within Word it opens up an Outlook message. I do use Outlook with a hosted exchange server but only use it for the non-email components. I never send mail through Outlook. Is there any way to get Word to use Thunderbird instead of Outlook? Thanks. |

Howq to send using Thunderbird.
At least if you are clicking a "mailto" type of hyperlink, Word should start
the default e-mail application. The e-mail commands (ribbon and QAT) might behave differently, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Magritte" wrote in message ...

Does this command not use the default mail client? Is there any way to fix that? |

Well, it works in my case (my default e-mail application is Outlook
Express), but your experience seems to indicate that it doesn't always work the way it should. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Magritte" wrote in message ...
