You must first configure Openoffice.org to use e-mail.
Tools > Options > Internet > Email
Then select the e-mail client you are using.
You should subscribe to the public mailing list to see answers
to your questions.
Use this address to subscribe just send and e-mail. It is not
necessary to put anything in it.

to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: "You must first configure Openoffice.org
to use e-mail." Untrue on Windows unless XP Home is *very* different
from my own XP Pro. I have two systems: both XP Pro, both OOo 2.2, one
uses Thunderbird as its default mail handler while the other uses
Outlook Express 6. OO's "direct send" facility correctly invokes the
default mail handler on both systems with the document as an attachment.
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sooo, unless, as I say, XP Home is very
different from XP Pro, there is something wrong with your installation.
Are you running as an administrator? Did you install OOo as an
administrator (I think you have to but ...) Is OE6 correctly configured
as your "Default Mail Handler"? In OE6, go to Tools>Options>General and
check, near the bottom, that it says words to the effect that Outlook
Express is the default mail handler. If not, check the help for details
of how to make it so.
Don't hesitate to come back here if you still have problems.
