When I try to e-mail a link in IE 8 using the "File > Send > Link by Email "
menu option, nothing happens. The Outlook 2007 message window will not open
automatically as it should.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) as well as your IE version
when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next
reply.

Assuming Win7...

You must set OL as your default for Mail in the CUSTOM (<=important!)
section of
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...sing-Set-Program-Access-and-Computer-Defaults,
make sure access to OL is enabled, and then restart your computer before
any Send To or MailTo functions will become available.

You'll find support for all Win7 Mail Clients in this forum:
