Hi Gents I'm having heaps of trouble - in fact finding it impossible - to add a FILE hyperlink into a newly composed email to send to recipients who can open the file.

The file is on THEIR computer network, not mine, and I use the UNC path for the recipient network. This works fine in Outlook and other email programs. file path similar to \\192.168.1.100\Share\File.exe

Have set this to true (about:config in TB) , with no added benefit: mail.compose.dont_attach_source_of_local_network_links

The Hyperlink Insert toolbar icon does not have the FILE: option, nor does the advanced hyperlink editing tool allow me to change the link from HTTP (for example) to FILE.

I go to write in Thunderbird, I click in the insert >Link menu or toolbar icon.

I select a file in the dialog and I get a link that starts with

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/

Now it is possible that if you use a UNC path you might need two more // but it is unlikely.

One of the things windows users forget is the web is unix. // not \\
