Description schlocke 2013-11-21 08:58:45 UTC 
We are using OpenOffice Writer Documents and using "Send->EMail as PDF" function.
With any 32bit mail applications like Thunderbird or Tobit we have no problems, but with Outlook 64 (64 Bit Version) we can't send any mails.

We always get "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set 
it as the default mail client".

But Outlook 64 is already default and the only client installed.

Microsoft describes this problem here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd941355.aspx

Looks like, OpenOffice is NOT using MAPISendMail, so this error occurs. 

Using Outlook 32 solves the problem... but I think this is a compatibility issue that should be fixed.

regards
Stefan Schmaltz

P.S.: I'm a software developer. Maybe I can fix this if someone tell me where the mail send code is.

Hi, first I'm no dev so don't take my word for granted.

The email sending is done by senddoc.exe. The code for this is at: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/shell/source/win32/simplemail/

if you want competent help try adding the bug keyword "needhelp" maybe a dev or a members knows more.

Thank you Stefan,
for your source and the binary, I can't test it but take your word it works.

I would adapt the code a bit further to remove the MAPILogon/MAPILogout entirely, but the idea is good.

There are 2 reasons I can't push this now.
1) I think disabling MAPILogon & MAPILogout might might break working use cases on other platforms.
2) This code is accessible by API
http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/system/SystemMailProvider.html
and I know too little to measure implications for 3rd party solutions.

This needs further investigation.

*lowering severity because there is a workaround now
