I select multiple files in File Explorer and select, right click, Send To, Thunderbird, but only one of the files actually appears in the Thunderbird email. It appears that which one shows up as an attachment to the email is quite random. This used to work fine with all the selected files showing in the email, I haven't upgraded anything so far as I know, and I don't think I have changed anything at all. Any ideas most welcome. Incidentally, if I select only one file to send then it works fine; if I select multiple files to send through Outlook, then that works fine. I just cannot send multiple files through Thunderbird. I am using Thunderbird version 115.4.1 (64 bit). I have looked at the issue on Microsoft pages and they are of the opinion that this is a Thunderbird issue, not a Windows one. Thank you for your help in advance. Cheers

It works here in TB 115/W11, although the process is Send to, Mail Recipient, not Thunderbird. It might be the Outlook installation that corrupted the operation for other mail clients. When these types of MAPI issues occur, it can sometimes be fixed by doing this: download and run the installer for the same version already installed:

Choose Advanced setup, set TB as the default, don't run TB at the end of setup, restart the computer. See if Send to works with multiple files.

Make sure that Outlook is not set as the default - there could be several places in Windows or Outlook settings.
