Send an email FROM word home & office, USING windows live mail

[Oldenhappy]

So after all that it looks like you have to use Thunderbird, an open source

programme in place of a Microsoft programme that most users of Home and

Student Word 2007 are directed towards i.e. windows live mail. I expect the

2010 version will have a word to mail link. shame about the present.

Send an email FROM word home & student, USING windows live mail

Hello everyone, and forgive me.



I am not here to bash MS, or anyone's tech knowledge.

However, I WOULD like an answer as to why clicking SEND TO 3 times works

perfectly fine. As stated before, this is supposedly a MAPI problem, however

- if you can simply click it 3 times, the MAPI functions obviously work. Or

they were written so poorly, it's simply a tragedy.



I, like many others, have grown terribly disenchanted with MS for it's lack

of correcting problems they cause and not owning up to issues which others

have to provide "solutions" for.



Can someone at MS PLEASE simply come up with a simple patch to allow Windows

Live Mail (YOUR PROGRAM - which you force every Windows 7 person to

install/use - unless you truly WANT them to run for free/open source content)

work with the SEND TO function within WORD? It DOES work, after clicking 3

times... THIS IS NOT a missing MAPI issue. So let's cut the crap.



Or, should we all be thanking a very forward thinking programmer who likely

was told that such a "feature" was not going to be included in the Home &

Student edition because they want everyone to buy an Office version with

Outlook? Shame on that marketing genius! Whatever programmer had the balls

to leave a magical 3 times clicking work-around should be commended... and

unfortunately, has probably lost his job over leaving in a feature so helpful

to the rest of the world.



I don't want a reply from MS, I'm saddened that so may MS MVPs simply

overlook this and then blow smoke around about it instead of simply going

back to the project design team and saying - "Look guys - we made a BIG

mistake here - let's fix it, quickly, and cover ourselves."



It's this kind of oversight which CAUSES blunders like Windows ME, and

Windows Vista to hit the shelves... and tarnishing the once reputable

Microsoft name.



PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write a simple patch for this and help the millions

of people who really WOULD continue to BUY MS products instead of migrating

to a MAC, Google Apps, or any Open Source/Free solution!



Sincerely,

Disgruntled Katt



PS... maybe they HAVE fixed this by now? If so... PLEASE let me know!

That is total RUBBISH. You are NOT "forced" to install and use Windows Live

Mail. You can download and install any one of a number of free email

clients. If you want one with full MAPI engine that will work with Home and

Student properly take a look at Mozilla Thunderbird.
