In Apache OpenOffice, you can send the current document as an email attachment.

On the Solaris and Linux platforms, the email client must support the attachment of a document to an email message through a command at the command line. In Windows, the email client must support the Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI).

Apache OpenOffice works with most common email clients, including:

• Thunderbird 1.x and 2.x
• Evolution/Groupwise
• Sylpheed/Claws-mail
• Apple Mail

Configuring Apache OpenOffice to Use an Email Client on Windows

You do not need to configure Apache OpenOffice to use an email client in Windows. Apache OpenOffice automatically uses the default email client,if the client uses the Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI).
