Sending email from TP9.5.1

[Nick]

File>Send generates a message to say I need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile in order to send an email.

I don't use Outlook, so is it possible to change a setting somewhere so that the command sends to the email app in the Vivaldi browser (or any browser in general). The browser is set as my default email app for Windows 11 but could there be another setting I need to change?

Do note that the dialog window title already says "Microsoft Outlook", so it's not TextPad showing this window. Your Windows configuration for "opening" an email must be different and Windows/Outlook can change it at any time (f.e. with an update of either program, or Windows).

If I do so with Textpad 8.4.0 then a Thunderbird window for composing a new email opens for me - just as expected.

Check in the Registry at

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\mailto\UserChoice

if you have for the name "Progid" any value or not. For me it would be "Thunderbird.Url.mailto" and as per this value the path

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Thunderbird.Url.mailto\shell\open\command

exists. Must be different for you and somehow reflect Outlook/Windows, not Vivaldi.
