I posted this question about e-mail photos from the DI library to the
Picture It newsgroup. John Inzer, Picture It! MVP, answered saying that he
did not have a specific answer. Based on my settings, he said DIL9 e-mail
should work. I am running winxp, ie6 and oe6, so I am posting this to the
ie6 newsgroup to see if anyone can help.

Problem

I just installed Digital Image 9 Suite. When I try to send a picture using
DIL9, the Microsoft Exchange Setup Wizard pops up and wants me to use
Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook Express. OE is my default email/news
reader program and I have revivified this in the IE6/tools/Internet
Options/Program tab.

DIL9 Tools/Options is set for Outlook Express as the email program and the
DIL9 "Send in Email" window also has OE as the email program but when I
click "Insert in Email" I get the MSES Wizard instead. I have looked through
DIL9 help and have set up DIL9 based on what it said.

I have made a google and KB search and found KBA 180505. It says that the
problem is that oe in not the default simple MAPI client and on
Tools/Options/General, check both Make Outlook Express my default e-mail
program and Make Outlook Express my default Simple MAPI client.

My general tab shows oe is the default e-mail program but there is no box to
check for MAPI client.

I can use oe to send pictures without using DIL9 but I would like to use
DIL9 if possible. Any suggestions?

Have you confirmed with Digital Image that DIL9 can use a Simple MAPI Client
(OE) to send mail?

Is MS Outlook (or Office) also installed?

Try re-registering OE as the default: http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx. You
may also need to re-register MailTo Protocol:
http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx. With OE as the default Mail Client, it is
also the default Simple MAPI Client; there is no MAPI option to check, at
least in OE6. That part of Q180505 is in error.

trying to sort this out is worth your time?)

PA Bear, Thanks for the reply and the suggestions.

I agree that from the big picture it does not matter. I can use oe and
things will work OK. There are a number of other things in winxp, ie6 and
oe that I let go and have learned to live with but when I install a new
program I like to see if the peculiarities can be fixed. I guess that is my
engineering background. Often I find the problem and fix it. When I do, I
post it. Oh well, I will see where this leads.

Thanks again, David

I just checked the "Mail to Protocol" and it is the correct type and the
path to msimn.exe is correct.
