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:

<mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Foo&body=bar>

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.
