Findings: 1. There is no default mail application as part of the standard Windows 8 Pro installation. The Mail MX (MetroStyle/ModernExperience...) application on the Start page does not work as a default, although mailto: URLs will route to it. 2. When I installed Windows Live Essentials with Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Mail was established as the default email client, there being none other. HOWEVER, Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 still can't send documents in email directly, although other applications and Windows Explorer can. It reports that no email client is found, although I can see it attempt to start. DETAILS 1. I confirmed there was no default, even though there is a Mail app, by attempting to Send documents in e-mail from WordPad (which has the feature) and from the Windows Explorer context menu (which as the feature). These all failed with the message that is the first one seen with Apache OpenOffice when there is no default. 2. See the screen snapshots in the attachment for the progression. 2.1 When I installed Windows Live Essentials, Windows Live Mail also installed. This is in addition to the Mail too that is already there. 2.2 My existing Windows Live settings were capture. Windows Live Mail is the same as Hotmail (now named Outlook.com). 2.3 I had a simple ODF Text document. I was able to send it from WordPad. 2.4 I was able to right click on the document in its file folder and use the context menu to Send to | Mail recipient. 2.5 When I attempt the same thing in Apache OpenOffice Writer, I no longer get the Email message about there being no default. In fact, I sometimes see Windows Live Mails start-up splash, but it goes away immediately. I then see the OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 message about not finding a working e-mail configuration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
