When you send a mail via Windows Explorer i.e send to mail recipient,
how can you do that without the message on the Subject line reading "e-
mailing: file that is attached" and also the message that appears
within the message body? I always manually delete, but is it possible
not to have these messages displayed in the first place?

I'm using Outlook 2003

I am certainly a freakin' dummie, but the LAST time I checked, one
couldn't send an email from Windows Explorer.

Well when was the last time you checked? Are you running NT4 or newer, with
Office 97 or newer installed? If so, right-click on any file and check-out
the Send To sub-menu.

To the OP, that generated subject is a part of sendmail.dll, which is called
by the sendto shell extension. You'd need to rewrite it to change that
behavior.

there seem to be an awful lot of things you weren't aware you could do with
outlook :) (Sendto does not require Outlook, only an email client that
registers itself with windows.)
