Description

[doc ditrich]

Right clicking a file in either Windows Explorer or from the start menu and
selecting "Sendto -> Desktop(create shortcut)" generates an MS error from
Outlook. See Article ID:813745 on MSDN. The error message is "Either there is no
default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging
request. Please run Outlook and set it as the default mail client." Appears to
be a MAPI error.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
