File, Send, E-mail not available in Office 2007

[beniez]

Any ideas how to get Office 2007 to play with my email client?In Word 2007, the option to Send email from the File menu is greyed out: in Excel 2007 it's simply missing; in PowerPoint 2007 the Send option on the File menu itself is greyed out. Is this punishment because I use Thunderbird as my email client? I've no local mail server - just POP3 to my ISP.

Thanks for any thoughts

Is your mail client set up properly as the default mailer?

Start, Default Programs, Set Program Access & computer defaults...

Yes, Thunderbird is registered as default mail program, and it works from other programs which interface to mail. It even worked with the Office 2007 Beta.... But proper Office 2007 just acts as though I don't have a mail program.
