If you've already inserted the registry stuff correctly for Vista my only
thought is "if it's Vista 64 you have to use a different registry key", i.e.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows Messaging
Subsystem

Hello all,
Until recently I'd been using a battered old PC with Win98SE, Word 2000
and
OE6 to do an email merge - did the job well.

Recently changed to Vista, but still using Word 2000 and now using Windows
Mail as my email client (Outlook 2000 also installed but not used). The
option to merge to email is no longer available. I've read about the
possible
missing lines from win.ini but Vista does not have a win.ini. So I checked
the registry for what was in the win.ini and all seems fine.

My only thought is that Word 2000 under Vista does not recognise Windows
Mail as being MAPI compliant, although if I choose to email an individual
document from Word 2000 it brings up the To, Subject, Message header and
sends the email.

I'm at a loss to know what to try next other than obtain and install a
later
version of Office or change my mail client.

Any ideas folks? Thanks for any guidance received.
Nick
