Hi,

When I right click on an open browser page in IE8 (Windows 7 Home Premium) the only e-mail option I see is to use Windows Live Hotmail. Is there a way to change this so that I can send e-mail via Windows Live mail 2011, please?

Rob.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that doesn't do it.

Re: Default E-Mail for IE8

When you get to "Custom",are you not getting a list of Email possibilities or is the choice not sticking?

Hi,

I have attached a screen shot of what I get. I use Windows Live Mail 2011 for my general e-mail. Sometimes when I see a reference to Windows Live Mail it actually refers to the Hotmail product. there seems to be some lack of consistency in the use of these names.

If you choose File>Send in IE8, does it send via Live Mail 2011? If so, then it seems all is OK. If not, what does it send by?

Think I've found the problem, thanks.

If I right click the open browser page, I don't get the option to e-mail.

If I click on 'page' I get the option to e-mail a page or a link. Both of these use WLM 2011.

Looks like operator error.

Thanks for your help.
