    windows mail

    Have been using wmail successfully. Works fine now for std email. Suddenly Picasa cannot send pics which it did before. Setting defaults does not show Windows Mail as a choice. The ony choice shown is "use my current E mail program. Windows Mail (news) is the only choice shown in side window. I don't know if this is the Picasa problem but I know that Windows Mail was once shown as the default email program. How do I get it back as a choice? Regular email does work fine rcv and send. I have set "eml" as an association.

    Hello Tala, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Double check in Default Programs to make sure that Windows Mail is set as the default program with all of it's associations for it. This tutorial below will help show you how to if needed.

    windows Mail does not appear as a choice in the default program choice window. When I look at default programs I see nothing but "use my current e mail program" under "Microsoft", non Microsoft, or "Custom" Do I maybe need to add "Jpeg" to my list of "associations" to make it work with emailing pics in Picasa.
