I cannot send emails from my Windows Live Mail Hotmail account from the Windows task bar.  I have Vista on a Dell PC.  I am able to send emails from the Hotmail account in Mozilla Firefox.   I am also not able to send an email directly from a website that has an email address.  In other words, the email account will not automatically open when I click on the address on the website.  I have to copy and paste the email to my email account to send the email.
