What is the bug number?

How to do you activate the "Send to mail recipient" context menu item?

All I see are "Reply to" items in the context menu when I right click on
a received message.

Did you install the VS 2015 runtime library?

VERY SORRY for the delay...

I am speaking of 'right clicking' on a file (say a PDF) and then
selecting "send to mail recipient"...

Has not worked for several months now. I didn't copy down the bug
report. I just googled the issue and two or three bugs displayed with no
resolution listed.

It used to be that a 'new' message opened with the subject line present
as the name of the file one right clicked on... not now. Doesn't open a
'new message' window.

Thoughts?
Thank you.

Works fine for me, TB 52.2.1 on Windows 7 Pro

I was looking at a similar report on sumo and found that my Windows 10
didn't open Thunderbird - in fact, didn't do anything. On investigation,
the "send to" item pointed to "Mail", despite Thunderbird being set as
the system default email application. Is "Mail" intended to map to the
default email client? Or is it the specific name of a Microsoft client?

Following advice found on superuser.com, I created a specific
Thunderbird shortcut item for the sendto menu and now it works as well
as can be expected. A document or file can be right-clicked, Thunderbird
selected, and Thunderbird opens a composition window with the file
attached.

It doesn't seem to accept more than one filename to be attached. Only
one of the selected files appears in Thunderbird's attachments window.

https://superuser.com/questions/906463/adding-to-sendto-context-menu-in-windows-10

Interestingly, this article:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_(Thunderbird) only
discusses how to add one attachment; there is no hint of how one could
or should concatenate several attachments' names.

Don't hold you breath. If there is a solution it is not around the corner.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356902
Installing the VS2015 or VS2017 x86 runtime should fix it:

Also in the TB52 release notes.

In Windows 7 Pro, the issue I had been experiencing "was resolved" by
going into "Program Defaults" (where I had set TBird as the default) and
then selecting "set program access and computer defaults"... there,
while TBird was listed it simple said "use my email client" (under
'custom' in that window). When I selected "Thunderbird" and saved and
tried the "right click on a file, context menu click 'send to mail
recipient' Thunderbird then opened an new email with the file attached
as before. Seems to be working. Thank you all.
