This is the program that responds to URLs beginning "mailto: ...". You can confirm if it is set by going to the desktop and opening the browser there. a. In the tools menu (the gear in the upper right corner), select "Internet Options" and tab "Programs" there. b. Click the "Set Programs" button under the "Programs tab" c. On the "Default Programs" Control Panel dialog that opens up, click the "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" link. d. Scroll down the list to the end, where protocols are listed. You should see a protocol named MAILTO, a description of URL:mailto and a Current Default of "Mail". (There might be more options if you have Microsoft Office Outlook installed, but I suspect you will have Mail.) Close all of the desktop windows. You should see Mail on the start menu if you have not customized it away. If it is not there, right-click (or swipe to the bottom) of the Start screen and select "All Apps" and then pin "Mail" to Start. Mail is an MX (MetroStyle) application that runs from the Start Bar only. Open it. It probably has you set up if you used a hot-mail address as your account on the Windows 8 machine. a. If there is an account set up you will see its name and options on a left-sidebar. There is also an option to add more e-mail accounts. If there is an account, that is all you need to do on Windows 8. If OpenOffice can't do the Send To ..., it depends on whether OpenOffice makes a mailto: request as a URL resolution. b. If you need to setup an e-mail account or want to add another, I'm not sure where to find that. If I find more, I'll update here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
