Send Word document by email from Word 2003 not working with WLM

I'm using WinXP Pro, Word 2003 and have recently started using WLM Desktop
instead of OE for emails. When using OE I could send attachments by going to
Word / File /Send To/ Mail Recipient (as attachment). Now this doesn't work.
What I get is a box to create my message in which looks different to the
usual New Message window, but it has To, CC, Subject etc but there's NO SEND
BUTTON so I can create the email but can't actually send it! Also nothing in
the menus enabling me to send it. At the top of the message window it has
the title of the email then "- Message (HTML)". In the end I had to give up
and send the email from WLM.

What's going on please?

Ah, I've just sorted this out myself. I had the default email
program/client in wrongly as Outlook. (I thought I'd changed this the other
day, but perhaps I hadn't). So I changed this as follows:
Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/ changed email to WLM.

It works fine now.

Yes I did mean Office Outlook. Oh, that's useful to know, maybe that's what
happened, thanks Gordon.
