When I try to click on the email (envelope) icon, I receive the error message:

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

This is a relatively new problem; I was previously able to email links by simply clicking on the "envelope" icon, which took me directly to "new email" setting in my Outlook App.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thanks!

Never used that email icon before so I tried it out. For me it opens up Thunderbird. It seems to follow the setting you have in Tools -> Settings -> General section and the mailto option in the list of Applications. Mine was set to Thunderbird. Does it still show Outlook for you as an option?
