I have just been informed in a yahoo answer that the reason my “Send a page” and “Send a link” by email don’t work, is because I have no email program running in the background. But that leads to my question above.

Let me get this straight: you’re asking how to use these options in Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer and such?
From what I’ve gathered, it doesn’t seem like you’re using an email program at all. Here is how to easily fix this:
1. Go to and download Thunderbird, the best free email program. (It’s made my Mozilla, the same company that produced Firefox, the popular browser)
2. Open Thunderbird and set up your email. It should be pretty easy–Thunderbird’s directions are simple. After setting up your email, all of your emails will have a copy in Thunderbird, so you can still access your inbox and sent items from both.
3. After setting up Thunderbird, these options should work, and Thunderbird will automatically compose an email with the link or page you want to send attached.
And that’s it!
If you already have an email program, try Thunderbird.
