MS Word2003 - "Send to" Thunderbird option greyed out
I have WindowsXp and office2003, but I run Thunderbird as my mail client.
I have never been able to use the "Send to" feature of word to send a file to an email recipient and this is rather annoying. I recently did a full and complete reinstall and still have the same problem. Looking at Mozilla help forums, I have encountered some suggestions, including ensuring that Thunderbird is the default mail client. It was, and is, but this hasn't helped. However I believe the problem to be an MSWord issue, because I am able to right-click "Send to" any file in Windows explorer. Can anyone make any suggestions, I would dearly love to send to from within Word. Thanks in advance |

MS Word2003 - "Send to" Thunderbird option greyed out
Thanks for your response John,
Your answer is clear, although it doesn't answer the question of why Windows explorer can "send to" Mail recipient... I accepted that this was just the way things were. However tonight I was using the Track Changes and Reviewing features of Word (still 2003) When I click on "Reply with Changes" button in the Reviewing toolbar it is able to send the file as an attachment without any difficulties!!! Can someone please explain? Luke "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Word is looking for a MAPI server (Messaging Application Programming Interface). ThunderBird doesn't have one. Thunderbird is a nice IMAP client, but it doesn't have all the features of a real Office email program :-) Cheers On 14/2/07 1:15 AM, in article , "Luke" wrote: I have WindowsXp and office2003, but I run Thunderbird as my mail client.
