I just checked again here and it seems OK, so...
....it is possible that you do not have permission to update this particular part of the regiistry, e.g. if you are not logged in with Administrator permissions. That would be quite likely if your machine is on a network and maintained by someone else - in that case you would need to contact them and ask them to sort this out for you.

Yes, select the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem Then, to insert the MAPIX value (for example) a. Right-click and slect New|String value. A new REG_SZ value is created with name "New Value #1" b. You should be able to overtype the name with MAPIX (unless you have already created that value c. Double-click the MAPIX value. A dialog box appears d. type the value you need, in this case 1, and click OK. e. You should see a line under "Windows Messaging Subsystem" with something like MAPIX REG_SZ 1 If you are uncertain because you have done all that and the merge to e-mail options are still greyed out, then something else is probably wrong (and in that case, I do not know what it might be).

I believe so, except...
(a) the REG_5Z are actually REG_SZ.
