Re: Windows Mail using Word as editor - can't send mail

Apparently the MailTo protocol handler is being directed to Outlook
rather than to Windows Mail. Try this:
Go to Default Programs, which you can reach either from the Start
menu or the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default
programs."
After a few seconds a list of programs comes up.
Click on Windows Mail. If all is well, it will respond
"This program has all its defaults."
If it reports less than all (3) of its defaults, fix it by selecting
one of the options indicated by green arrows.
