Setting up email in Windows Photo Viewer

Windows Photo Viewer has a button for emailing photos directly from the viewer. Clicking on it, a box comes up telling you the size of the file and asks to proceed. Clicking "next" a box comes up saying there is no email program associated with the viewer, It says to install an email program if there is not one installed already, or if there is, to create a file association to it in the default program associations.

Going through the Control Panel to default file associations, only Outlook and Live Mail are listed for making the association, although I don't use them,but rather Verizon.net, which is not listed. Verizon.net is installed and used daily but I cannot find any way to make the file association with Photo Viewer.

I must be missing something (besides the obvious screw or two ; ) because I can find no way to make the required file association, and I do not want to use Outlook or Live mail.

Can anyone help with this? Seems like i should be an easy matter. Thanks!

I will try to post this in a couple of other forums too.
