Vista - Emailing Snipping Tool Capture through Outlook instead of Windows

I love the built in snipping tool. But when I've tried to email a capture -
I was surprised to find that it seems to default to Windows Mail (it asks me
to go through the mail setup wizard).

Having had Tablet PCs in the past - I'm surprised that it won't send via my
default email client - Outlook. Any idea on how to set this up?

Thanks!

You need to set Outlook as your default mail client in Vista. It is not a
"Snipping Tool" setting.

What you say, it's true only for Vista x86, but not for Vista x64: in Vista x64 there's a bug: the snipping tool when you push mail button, look at HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail (this path is valid only on Vista x86), after in HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail and here there's first bug: the value (also if Outlook is the default mail client) is Windows Mail. If you modify the string in with correct one, Microsoft Outlook, when you push on mail button, nothing happens (but Outlook don't start) - see attachment ...
The problem is that Snipping tool don't read the right key: HKCU\Software\Wow6432Node\Client\Mail, and after read data on HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
