Win XP
FM 8
FM does recognize the default mail client in Windows when it is First Class
mail application (its MAPI)
When the default is switched to OULTLOOK it recognizes it... what do I need
to fix in the win.ini file
Any help would be much appreciated

Not sure you can fix this in the win.ini file, but I've never tried. As
an alternative, you can send mail using a mailto URL like so:
You'll have to properly encode it and it's not as flexible as the
default Send Mail command but it will get the job done.
More on this approach here:
Alternatively, you can use a free plug-in which provides simple SMTP
functionality:
Good luck.

Unles the plug-in, etc. can pick which software to use, all of these
will still use the system's default email application.

SMTP-based e-mail plug-ins do not rely on your local mail client. They
send the message directly to the mail server. Of course this also means
that your outgoing e-mail wont be stored in your mail client's Sent
Items folder. If this is an issue you can BCC yourself and create a
rule to move it when it comes in.
