Send to mail recipient as attachment

Guest

We have 3 Windows 2003 Server running Terminal Server
with Office XP standard (also know as Office 2002). We
are running Exhcange 5.5 sp4 on a seperate NT 4.0 sp6a
server.

Our users no longer have the option "send to Mail
recipient as an attachmnet". No new software has been
installed or changed. The only thing I can think of that
does any updates is the Windows System Update program. It
updates when updates are available. It first started off
for only a few people but as of Monday, No one has the
option except users with administrator login priviliges.

We setup all 3 servers and then copied each users profile
from their previous server (Windows NT Terminal server
4.0) to a new server and setup roaming profiles. Each
user previously was running MS Office 97. We are now
running MS Office XP std.

If I login as administrator or a user with admin
privileges, Word has the option of "send to mail
recipient as attachment". If I login as a standard user
the option is not there.

This all worked until Monday morning. Not sure what might
have changed.

On one of the servers, I logged in as administrator and
the Word send to option was not there. I ran sysedit and
added the MAPIX=1 line, restarted Word and the option was
there. I tried it as a user and it still did not work. I
searched and found that some, but not all users have a
win.ini file in this type of a folder c:\documnets and
settings\user\windows\win.ini, I tried copying the
administrators win.ini file to the replace the user
wini.ini but it still did not help. I did copy the
wini.ini file to the place where their profiles are
stored after logging out. I also renamed their original
win.ini file. Still this did not work for the user.

I also found a win.ini file in the C:\windows directory.
It had not only the MAPI=1 and MAPX=1 but also had the
other lines that MS shows to put in there from their
website. Here is what it has.

[Mail]

MAPI=1

CMC=1

CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll

CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll

MAPIX=1

MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1

OLEMessaging=1


I tried removing everything except MAPI=1 and MAPIX=1 but
it still did not help.

It appears the problem is with the MAPIX=1 statement but,
I have setup new users that did not have a previous
profile and they do not have the send to option in Word
either.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

This command is enabled when you check the box for "Mail as attachment" on
the General tab of Tools | Options.

I looked and it is checked. Also noticed that the send to
Exchange Folder is not an option any longer. Again all
this worked until Monday morning.

Try this

on the machine that this does not work any more. In the run command box type 'sendto' and press enter. If there is no icon for 'mail recipient' go to a machine that it works on. Copy that file to the machine it does not work on and see if it shows up now? Just a thought. I never had this problem but my guess is that that file was deleted somehow

Let me know if it works
