Well, on my PC  "HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail" is set to MS Outlook, but 
"HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail" is set to Thunderbird. If I right-click a 
file on my file system and send to to "Mail Recipient", it goes to 
Thunderbird. The Registry just has the name of the program in the keys, 
but nothing else.

If I try to use the Send To inside MS Word, I get an error dialog that 
says the following:

"Word could not load the e-mail envelope. This could be caused by a 
network connection problem or a problem with your Office installation."
