Need to support SendTo>Mail on Windows.
<scenario>
When installing Netscape 4.7x, a Netscape Messenger shortcut gets placed in
\Documents and Settings\%user%\SendTo. The shortcut points to a target \%
install dir%\Program\sendto32.exe
Right clicking on a file and selecting SendTo|Netscape Messenger opens a new
mail message with the file affixed as an attachment. (This feature also works
for Outlook).
The feature should be implemented for Netscape 6.5. There doesn't seem to be
any corresponding "sendto32.exe" file in build 2001-03-21-09-Mtrunk.
<repro steps>
Copy the Mail shortcut (which links to \%install dir%\netscp6.exe -mail) to
\Documents and Settings\%user%\SendTo, right click on a file and select
SendTo|Mail.
<result>
1.If Netscape is already launched, the mail window comes to the forefront.
2.If Netscape is not open, Netscape launches and opens to the browser but the
mail window does not open.
<expected result>
Whether or not Netscape has been launched, a new mail message should appear
with the file affixed as an attachment.

WFM with Windows XP SP1 and Build ID 2003012508.
Is this still an issue with older Windows versions?

This may be a problem for Win95, Win98-1E, or WinNT4 systems; I'm not sure at
what point the "Send To | Mail Recipient" context menu item became standard in
Windows, or if there's a particular component of Windows software that needs to
be selected for this to be in place.
Under Win98SE (and presumably ME), and Windows 2000, this item seems to be
standard. It is simply a zero-byte file in the "Send To" folder in Windows with
an extension of .MAPIMAIL. Mozilla installs itself as a MAPI client when it
sets itself as the default mailer, and Windows invokes MAPI to call Mozilla.
Wesley George, is this bug still a problem for you?
