The first to check is outlook. Go to tools/accounts and check if there
are any additional email accounts installed that you dont use anymore.
When you send email via excel, it may get the first available email
account of outlook, but when you send 'normally' through outlook,
outlook could be setup to use by default a specific account that
differs from the first available.

message goes through fine.

following was displayed in my email message:
The message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:
