TB3: Email from Picasa doesn't work anymore

[DJAckerman]

The email feature in Picasa 3 (Google's photo software for desktop --
and web -- use) does not work since I've installed TB3. When clicking
"email" in the Picasa desktop software, a TB 'write' window should open
with the photo(s) already attached. The Picasa software looks like it is
trying to open a window, but TB3 doesn't open one.

1. Did anyone else have this problem?
2. Found a fix?
3. Is this a known issue?

I had something similar - it wasn't anything to to do with TB3, it was a
Microsoft Office patch, which reset my default mail to Outlook without
asking....

Make sure your OS knows that TB3 is the default email program, and
mailto: client.

You are correct. Assuming that you are using Linux.
I have written a script that fixes this.

Andrew,

I should have noted in my first post that I used WinXP(sp3) --
because I see that another poster discusses the same issue with Linux.

To pursue your lead, I checked in Start | 'Set Program Access and
Defaults' and it was set as "Custom" and the radio button "Use my
current email progam" was selected. It had TB selected for "Enable
access to this program". It may or may not have also been enabled for
Outlook Express; at this point I'm not sure, but I do not even have
Outlook Express installed on my computer.

I changed from "Use my current email program" to *requiring* that TB
be used. I found, however, that even when I did that, when I came back
to that dialog box, it had automatically reset to "Use my current email
program" again. Not clear what was going on there.

The good news is that I can now email from Picasa through TB: after
playing around with the above settings, I tried emailing from Picasa
again and all works as intended.

I thank you for your post which pointed me in the right direction.

David
