Hans, As the code stands right now, attachments are not supported at all. Using the MAPISendMail function with a file list will bring up an email client with no file(s) attached. This seems to be absolutely useless, since the file(s) will have to be manually attached before sending the message. This patch will provide at least the possibility for email clients to make use of the added parameter. How about if I use the &attachment= parameter only if a file list is provided by the caller to MAPISendMail? That way applications which are not attempting to provide attachments will work the same way as before. Lei, I am aware that Mozilla and Thunderbird do not support attachments via mailto. I resolved that with a simple wrapper which changes the mailto option into the standard command line options which do support attachments. The wrapper name can be specified the wine registry.
