Re: Default mail client not installed properly!!1

Just because an email program is designated as 'default'
does not mean that all possible default protocols have been
assigned to it. Do this:

Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via 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 it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

For continuity, please quote the message you are replying to.

Are you clicking on Send from inside the Crimson Editor program
or are you clicking on a MailTo link on a web page?
If the former, it may be a situation where that program is not
fully compatible with Vista. Can you copy and paste that form
into Windows Mail?

Re: Default mail client not installed properly!!1

Some older programs are not fully functional in Vista.
A prime example is Microsoft's own Office XP (2002).
According to http://www.crimsoneditor.com the latest version
was issued in 2004, so obviously it wasn't designed for Vista
compatibility. Does that program have a users forum or are
you able to consult with fellow users to see if anyone has
come up with a workaround?

Re: Default mail client not installed properly!!1


I have the same problem - but the issue appears to be that there is no
mail-to protocol in the list ofr protocols

I have a 32-bit Vista Home prenium - is there a way of restoring this
protocol?

Re: Default mail client not installed properly!!1

If the MailTo protocol is missing, try this:

Open the Default Programs applet.
Click "Set program access and computer defaults."
Click Custom, and select Windows Mail.
Click OK.

Re: Default mail client not installed properly!!1


That didn't work but I then found that it was actually a missing
registyry value - and added in the edited code from another thread here!

It worked...
