Outlook steals some of my Microsoft Mail...

I use Microsoft mail as my default mail handler, and I'm happy with it.
I've noticed some emails I've sent from other Office programs, though,
mysteriously disappear, and re-appear when I've opened my Outlook by
accident.

I finally realized when I send an Excel sheet "as an attachment" it doesn't
show up in Mail in my outbox or sent items, then when I open Outlook they
are there, and finally get sent. How do I get all my email to go thru
Microsoft Mail?

Thanks!

See if this helps.

On the Start menu, click on Default Programs.

Note: If Default Programs is not listed on your Start menu you
can access it through Control Panel -> Programs.

In Default Programs, click on the first item, "Set your default
programs".
In the "Set your default programs" dialog, click on Windows
Mail in the Programs box.
If you see "This program has 1 out of 3 defaults" listed under
Windows Mail in the right hand section, click on "Set this
program as default".
The line should change to "This program has all its defaults".
Click the OK button.

Test this by trying to send a spreadsheet as an attachment.

Good luck
