1. Not sure if the OP saw the above reply so am including her address on this 
one.

2. In Windows you don't set your mail program within OpenOffice. I think you do 
in UNIX and Linux but you definitely don't in Windows; in fact there's no 
facility within OOo/Windows for doing it.

Instead you use the Windows Control Panel: Double click the Internet Options 
icon, click the Programs tab in the pane that opens and choose your E-mail 
program.

An alternative way of achieving the same effect is via Internet Explorer: Click 
Tools and then Internet Options. The same pane will open as mentioned above and 
you take the same actions.

3. If you want to use OOo to send form letters as e-mails (using Mail Merge) 
then you can (need to ???) specify your e-mail address and server name (but not 
the e-mail program to use) in OOo. You do this in Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org 
Writer>Mail Merge E-mail
