This is apparently a matter of how the email client in question is handling urls and emails that are to long to be displayed in one line.</p><p>The real problem is of course that you can&#8217;t click the url to open it in your browser because it will display a not found message due to the missing parts.There is however a neat trick that can be used to display long urls and mails in emails correctly so that the recipient of the mail is able to open them even if it is displayed in more than one line.</p><p>If you enclose urls and mails with &#8220;<..>&#8221; you can avoid line breaks in most email clients that your recipient uses. So, instead of writing http://www.ghacks.net/ you would enclose it with <> which would like this: <code><http://www.ghacks.net/></code></p><p><span

Adding attachments to emails was always sort of a burden for me because it was really uncomfortable to open the mail program, click on the attachment button and browse to the file on the hard drive of the computer. A far better way is to right-click the file and select an entry that would automatically open the email program. All that was left to do from this point on was to fill out the email address and write the mail.</p><p>I only found information to add the &#8220;send attachment&#8221; entry to the right-click menu for Thunderbird and Outlook. Both require almost the same steps only the command that is used will be different. Open the registry by pressing Windows + R, typing regedit and hitting enter. Navigate to the key Hkey_Classes_Root \ * \ shell. If the shell entry is not there create it by right-clicking on * and selecting New > Key from the menu and name it shell.</p><p><span
id="more-1518"></span>Now create another key in the shell key and name it any way you like. This will be shown in the right-click menu so choose something like &#8220;send attachment&#8221; for instance. Create another key in the newly created key &#8220;send attachment&#8221; and name it &#8220;Command&#8221;.</p><p>Right-click on the Default entry in the right pane of Command and right-click it. Select modify from the menu and add the following entry if you want to send attachments to Outlook: <code>"Path to Outlook.exe" /a "%1"</code></p><p>If you want to send attachments with Thunderbird change the default value to: <code>"Path to Thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment="file://%1"</code>. My command looks like the following to give you an impression <code>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment="file://%1"</code></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/05/07/add-send-email-attachment-with-to-context-menu/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
