General mail failure

After saving an Excel spreadsheet when I try to use the send to mail
recipient as attachment in the file menu I get an error message

General mail failure. Quit MS Office Excel, restart mail system and try
again. I did this but there was no change. Also shut the system down and
restarted. No change.

I've check the MSKB and found a couple of article but they indicated they
were for older version of Excel. One gave a list if entries that should be
in the win.ini file. I did have all of those entries.

Any help to get this functioning again would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ron. I checked to make sure Outlook was my default and I
check the registry. I have all of the one listed and one that isn't.

InstallCmd REG_SZ rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection MSMAIL 132 msmail.inf

I do a lot of importing from Access and Quickbooks and it
seems the problem my be related to the imported files. It's seems
to be intermittent. In fact the file I was trying to send before
lunch will now go just fine. Go figure. Makes me think it's a
ID ten T error:-) I'm saving the file in an Excel format and then
trying to send.
