For my programs I had to add all of the files located in KB Article for it to
work! On to the next problem.

It worked here to. I had to add all the words in the article. Thanks for
the help!

Havin the same problem, attempting to use a Groupwise 6.5 client. Have read
all previous fixes, regedit, and win.ini have been updated, and Groupwise is
properly setup as default mail client.

I have reinstalled Groupwise just in case to no avail.

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. Outlook 2003 is my default mail program
(check), I looked in the Registry and all values are present (check), I added
the PDF and XPS attachments. I added "Send to mail recipient" to the Quick
Task bar where it remains "gray."

I got all that info from the Help section on Word 2007. Their last
alternative is to send the document as an attachment which seems to me to
defeat the purpose and is not a viable workaround for my project (an email
Newsletter).

Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks
