Default Mail merge to email, unable to send HTML email via outlook

I'm trying to do a mail merge in Word 2007 using Outlook as our standard
email programme, however when I try sending emails in HTML format I get an
error message that Window Mail could not be started. When sending emails as
an attachement or RTF there is no problem.
Any help is appreciated-Thank you.

It sounds as though Windows Mail and not Outlook is configured as your
default e-mail application in Windows.
