Hello Winston,
To answer your questions:
AV software running resident is Zone Alarm Extreme Security. Windows
Defender is running resident too (I have read conflicting opinions as to
whether or not I should allow both to run but they seem to get along just
fine and I don't have any problems).
WLM 2009 was the previous email program. However, it is a while now since I
updated this and it had been working just fine. I can't remember doing
anything different when the problem started. I know that I had used it a
couple of days beforehand with no problems.
Hope this is helpful to you (and others).

Thanks for all the details yielding a solution.
If I may ask a few questions...
1. What AV program and if present Anti-Malware programs run resident ?
2. On this system...was WLM 2009 the previous email program, nothing, or
something else(e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, etc)

Just to let you all know this is now fixed.
In the end I went into Control Panel > Uninstall A Program and clicked on
Windows Live Essentials 2011. There, you are given an option to "Repair all
Windows Live Programs". Once I had done that, the "Right Click Send To Mail
Recipient" function worked, but "Send Link By Email" and "Send Page By
Email" in IE8 were both greyed out. I then went in to "Set Program Access
&>Defaults" and selected "Windows Live Mail", and all worked ok.
So - to everyone who made suggestions - thank you very much!
