Sendto function in Windows 7 broken again

[hhgygy]

I tried to fully uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but it does not even restore the link in the SendTo folder of Windows

[hhgygy]

Suddenly, my sendto function in Windows 7 does not work again with Thunderbird.
So far I created a new link in the right SendTo folder and it works BUT only for one single file.
I.e. if I select two or more files (in File Manager or in Total Commander) and want to send them by mail, only the first one will be attached.
I am using this command line option:
-compose "attachment='file://%1'"

Can someone help me please?

(This bug is arising on my W7 system from time to time but not frequently enough to make me remember how to correct it)

I got it working with Thunderbird 52 and Windows Explorer on Windows 7.

* C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\Thunderbird.vbs

Code: Select all

Option Explicit
ReDim arrArguments(WScript.Arguments.Count - 1)
Dim i
For i = 0 To WScript.Arguments.Count - 1
  arrArguments(i) = WScript.Arguments(i)
Next
Dim strAttachment
strAttachment = Join(arrArguments, ",")
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Exec("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose" & _
  " preselectid='id1'" & _
  ",from=''" & _
  ",to='foo bar <foobar@invalid.com>'" & _
  ",cc=''" & _
  ",bcc=''" & _
  ",newsgroups=''" & _
  ",newshost=''" & _
  ",subject='alpha beta'" & _
  ",message=''" & _
  ",body='gamma delta epsilon'" & _
  ",attachment='" & strAttachment & "'" & _
  ",bodyislink='false'" & _
  ",type='0'" & _
  ",format='0'" & _
  ",originalMsgURI=''" & _
  "")
Set objShell = Nothing
