Time out! I asked you a question to try to help you and you jump on my case?


BTW - I don't have any "customers". I am not a Microsoft employee. I do this for free so I'd rather help someone who won't bite my head off. And since *I* can email from from applications, I guess I must know what I'm doing...unlike you.

Of course I can do that fairly easily although I need to leave the office
program I'm using, swap over to the e-mail system etc etc. But it's more
convenient and quicker to send from the tool one is using at the time as you
must appreciate. Your reply indicates the stupidity of MS greying
out/removing the feature from this version of Office 2007 so why not put it
back in and prove you are listening to your customers like you say you have
been doing with Vista and Office 2007.
