Emailing attachments from Windows Explorer
Nope, I have been tampering with that myself as well. It is something in the
user profile of Windows since it works again when I log on with a different user (so you can always clear your Windows Profile to get it fixed again :-D). Since I never use the Send button I didn't mind that much; I use CTRL+ENTER to send a message and that still works. Thanks for reminding me; time for another (failing) attempt to solve it ;-) -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Navigation Pane Tips & Tricks -Create an Office 2003 CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 1 ----- "Ian Burley" wrote in message ... I use an up to date XP installation with Outlook 2003, but I have noticed this problem for a while now even with Outlook XP. If you use Windows Explorer to email an attachment using the SEND TO EMAIl RECIPIENT option, Outlook duly fires up a blank email with the attachment attached, I enter my covering message but when I press send, nothing happens. The work around is to save the message, close it and then re-open it from Outlook's Inbox. It's quite annoying really - any ideas on how to sort this one out? Thanks, Ian |

Emailing attachments from Windows Explorer
Try this: In your C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\SendTo folder, create
a new shortcut to Outlook with the switches that add an attachment: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /a %1 Name the shortcut Outlook Message, and you'll be able to right-click a file and choose Send To | Outlook Message. This also will make sure your default signature gets into the message. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Ian Burley" wrote in message ...
