When I want to email a picture from Aperture (v 2.1.4) I can do so from either Mail or Entourage, according to the prefs in Apreture.

Entourage is no longer installed on my Mac, I use Outlook 2011.

How do I get Aperture to recognize and use Outlook 2011?

You don't until Apple updates Aperture.

In the meantime, just drag and drop it into a new email.

Do you think Apple will update the old version or will I finally have to upgrade?

I doubt they'll upgrade the older versions for this.

A workaround that works is
1. Go to applications, select Aperture
2. Control/Right click and select "show package contents"
3. Select Plugins folder
4. Rename Microsoft Entourage.applescript to Microsoft Entourage1.applescript (or what ever you want to call it- if you ever want to use Entourage again reverse the naming)
5. Go to Utilities / Open apple script editor
6. Select new file and paste the text between the dotted lines below into script editor
7. Save file as Microsoft Entourage, with file type "text" ( this will add the extension applescript to name.
8. Copy this file to the Aperture plugin folder
8. Open Aperture go to / Preferences / Export and select Microsoft Entourage in the "Email Using" field.
9. Done
