Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Emailing a web page
When I try to email a web page as a page or as a link in Vista those options a grayed out (not offered). Is there something that has to be reset to do this?  SignatureAuxCox, Beverly, MA You can email the page from within Internet Explorer.

Go to File | Send | Page By Email If you don't have the Menu bar turned on, right click in the area under the address bar and put a check in "Menu Bar".

Clicking them causes no action. It's as though Vista is configured to not allow this action. SignatureAuxCox, Beverly, MA > Sorry.

SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email. I'm new to Vista and Windows mail, have done the suggested solution and the options to email a page or link are still unavailable. SignatureDebra Please post by responding to and quoting that suggested solution. Otherwise we have no way of knowing which suggested solution you tried. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > I'm new to Vista and Windows mail, have done the suggested solution and > the options to email a page or link are still unavailable. Here is what I did: 1. internet options 2. programs tab 3. set programs 4. select set your default programs 5. selected Windows Mail 6. set this program as default. Still I am unable to email a webpage or link from Internet Explorer. Please help! SignatureDebra > Here is what I did: > 1. internet options [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Still I am unable to email a webpage or link from Internet Explorer. > Please help! Start | Default Programs Make sure Windows Mail has all its defaults. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email That procedure sets Windows Mail as your default email program, but it does not assign all possible protocols to Windows Mail. 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. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > Here is what I did: > 1. internet options [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Still I am unable to email a webpage or link from Internet Explorer. > Please help! I have done that at least 20 times and it does nothing. Is there something else I could try? This shouldn't be this difficult should it? SignatureDebra What exactly have you tried so far? Please quote the message you are responding to. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > I have done that at least 20 times and it does nothing. Is there > something else I could try? This shouldn't be this difficult should it? I have opened the Default Programs applet, then clicked the first item: "Set your default programs." Clicked on Windows Mail. If it didn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" I then tried to fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow. Still no success..... SignatureDebra Try this: Open Default Programs, click on "Associate..." After the next screen loads, scroll all the way down until you see "Protocols". Make sure the MailTo Protocol is assigned to Windows Mail. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > I have opened the Default Programs applet, then clicked the first item: > "Set your default programs."
