PhD: Send To Mail Recipient Command Is Unavailable (193800)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q193800 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PhotoDraw, when you click the File menu and try to select Send
To Mail Recipient it may be unavailable.
Send To Mail Recipient is designed to launch your email tool, open a new
email message and place the active picture in the message as an attachment
so you can send it to whomever you desire.
CAUSE
Send To Mail Recipient is only available when both these conditions are
true:
- You have a MAPI-aware email program such as Microsoft Exchange,
or Microsoft Outlook on your computer.
- You have a file open in PhotoDraw.
RESOLUTION
Some well-known mail programs such as America Online are not MAPI-aware.
MAPI stands for Messaging Application Interface; it is the part of Windows
that controls how email programs talk to other programs. However you can
still send your PhotoDraw picture via email by attaching the file to your
email message in AOL using AOL commands.
Creating your own email message and then attaching the picture also works
for many other email programs that are not MAPI-aware. The only limitation
is that the email program must support file attachments.
Consult the online Help for the email program you use for instructions on
how to attach files to email messages.
