I am using IE8.0.6001. With IE7 I was allowed to email a webpage or its
link using Live Mail, while in IE. Now this feature is greyed out. I have
checked the add-ons and LiveMail is enabled.

I found and an accelerator which allows me to email a webpage's link but not
the page.

Is not the Send page/link feature working in IE8 or is there's something I
am missing?

Thanks,

Cora

Hi,

Windows XP or Vista?

For Vista:
http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html

For XP: Control panel> Add/remove programs> Set Program Access and Defaults,
choose Microsoft Windows or Custom. Make sure Windows Live Mail is selected
as the default mail program.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your reply.

Live Mail is my default email service. As I stated below, when I added the
accelerator which only email links, LiveMail opened when I tested it. I do
not understand why send page by email and send link by email, are grayed
out.

Also, I forgot to mention I use Vista, which does not seem to matter.

IE is not my default browser, however, due to your suggestion I made it so
thinking it would make a difference. It did not. If I cannot get the mail
feature to work, it will be back to the snipping tool.

I took it on faith and reset LiveMail as the default again. Send page/link
by email is no longer grayed out and is now working.

Thank you.
