Send To Mail Recipient

[Lindsay]

In the Send To menu there is an entry for Mail Recipient. Very handy for
attachments. But how does it work? I found it at All Users\Send To folder
but it has 0 bytes! I'm asking as a programmer but it's more something a
Windows XP expert is more likely to know.


With best regards, Lindsay. E-mail: (e-mail address removed)

It's a drop target. Sendto drops whatever onto the sendto objects. Look it up in the registry to know more. It's extension is MAPIMAIL (use CMD to see that). It's a class of file (and as it does nothing, it doesn't need anything but it's extension, rename your swap file to ) and the code is like all Com objects in a dll somewhere. Rename any file to *.mapimail and it will send mail if you drop on it.
