Send a file as an eMail attachment?

[gtwatson77459]

Is there a plugin for TC where I can highlite a file and then add it as an attachment to my Outlook mail? Many times I search for a file using TC and when I find it, I have to open Outlook and track it down again so I can send it to someone in my address book as an attachment to Outlook. Is there a way to right click on a file in TC and send it to someone?

I did do a search and didn't find what I was looking for.

Hold down the right mouse button a little bit longer (2-3 sec.), the context menu will appear.

2Stitscher,

It should appear after 1 second.

(Thanks so much)^10 I've been using TC for years and keep finding gems like this. I probably only use 25% of the capabilities as it is but it is such a powerful program that it is amazing to me when I find out more that I didn't know.

I use cm_CopyFullNamesToClip for this, because that lets you open files in any program. I defined the hotkey Ctrl+C for this, so whenever I want to open a file in a program or add an attachment to an email, I hit Ctrl+C, switch to the program in question and paste the whole path in the Open / Add dialog box.

You can do it with a button in the button bar:
1) Add a new button

2) command is e.g.
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE"

3) parameter
/c ipm.note /a %P%N

Opens a new mail with the selected file as attachment.
You can search for other command line parameters of outlook.exe and add them in the parameter e.g. the e-mail address.

(I dragged the outlook.exe directly into the button bar with the Shift key holded and added the parameters. This gives you also the correct start path - do not know if it is necessary)
