I am trying to use Windows Mail, not Outlook Express as my main mail in
Vista. It seems though I can only use outlook or outlook express...is that
true?? If not, how can I change it?

To use the Send To Mail recipient function in Office you need an Email
Client with the full MAPI engine. Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird have the
full MAPI engine, Windows Live Mail does NOT, but I'm not sure about Windows
Mail or OE. If you have WM set as default email and the Send To function on
Excel is not working, then I assume WM does NOT have the full MAPI engine.
Nothing you can do about that I'm afraid...
