I can confirm that Word 2007 and Windows Mail are incompatible but we hope
that this is a bug and will be fixed when the servicepacks are launched
early next year.

So it works on XP, but has anyone figured out for Vista yet? Seems
strange
that Word2007 wouldn't recognize the default program (Windows Mail) but
only
the one that either comes by itself as a single expensive program
(Outlook),
or as an even more expensive package deal... or does it?

That's good news, since I use Outlook Express, but I'd heard rumors that
Word 2007 was honoring only Outlook.

Evidently Word 2007 recognizes only Outlook 2007 as a mail client.


Not on XP - if I set Thunderbird as my default email client instead of
Outlook, Word 2007 calls Thunderbird when I email a document from
within
Word...
