[sylpheed:36818] Re: Windows - associate sylpheed to right click menu "send to mail recipient"

[Michael Weiner]

I believe that the issue is "Send to"-- from the Windows Explorer
context menu-- rather than "mailto:". "Mailto:" is easy to fix. "Send
to" appears more difficult. I have not found a fix yet. Although one
can insert a Windows file shortcut to Sylpheed into the "Send to"
directory, sending a file to that shortcut does not attach it to a new
message in a composition window. Instead, the Sylpheed viewer window
attempts to display the file.

The "Send to" directory is listed below.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\
