When I access the "Letter" icon to send a page or send a
link the only option I have is Read News> what happened
and how can I get back the options so I can send a link or
the web page?

Assuming you want Outlook Express:
From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:

You might also want to try this:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

To set Outlook 98, 2000 or 2002(XP) as the default mail client,- Go to
Start, Run - Type in the following with quotation marks and press ok
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient

Thanks for the reply. I finally had a brain storm and
check Internet Options and the Programs tab. No email
service was selected. As soon as I selected Outlook
Express I got my options back in the Envelope icon. I do
not remember deselecting it but somehow it was.
