What is Output Mode? How can I check my setting?

The Finish Button outputs your message according to the Output Mode settings. The Output Mode dialog box is reached through the Options Menu, or press CTRL+ O

Clicking Finish with Output Mode set to Option 1 will Copy the message to the clipboard and open a New Mail Message window in your default e-mail program. Simply Paste into that window.

Option 2 will copy the message to the clipboard, and it can then be pasted into any window. This is especially useful when reply to incoming mail

Option 3 uses a mailto command to send the message directly to your default e-mail program, and automatically displays it in a New Mail Message window

What is my default e-mail program?

One of the e-mail programs on your PC is nominated as the main one, or "default email program". This may not be the same e-mail program that you actually use. QE Tech WritE-mail works with the e-mail prgram that is set to default, so you may need to change your default settings.

QE Tech WritE-mail uses 'mailto' commands to invoke and populate mail messages in your email program, and such commands in Windows work only with the default e-mail program.
