Send from Finder with Thunderbird as default email

Greetings,
Finder will not open Thunderbird (default email client in System Preferences) to send documents. 
Apple Mail crashes repeatedly, therefore, I resort to Thunderbird (works without crashing). 
Please instruct me on how to set Thunderbird (already default email client) so that I may send email attachments within Finder.  Finder/Share shows Thunderbird's icon, when clicking on the icon, I hear that irritating bird chocking, and Thunderbird does not reply.
Thanks for your reply and help,
Ray Randall

Thanks for this.  It works well for creating a new email when one file is selected as an attachment.  As the bug thread pointed out, it opens up a separate message for each file in a multi-select.  Now that I know about Automator, I will see if I can implement something similar for multi-selects. 
Interestingly, something like this has to be done for MS Outlook as well.  Frustrating that integration with well-known third-party software isn't built into the OS.

  • Sending email from Lr4 with Thunderbird

    Can anyone provide some help for  sending email from Lr4 with Thunderbird as the email program. When I select a photo and right-click Email Photo... I get the email photo dialog box with Mozilla Thunderbird in the From drop down. I click Send, and then I get an error message that says "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
    Well, it seems as thigh Lr has Thunderbird in the From drop down, it knows an email program exists. Thunderbird is set as the default. I'm not sure what associations I am supposed to make (.eml and .wdseml are the default extensions, MAILTO is the default protocol, and Send mail is the default MAPI).
    Ay clues or hints?

    My default mail program is Thunderbird, and it works OK with Lightroom. If you are on a Windows 7 PC, go to Control Panel and check this out.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

    How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

    Hi believer924,
    Happy Holidays!  What version of Mac OS are you working with?  The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage.  On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
    This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
    On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
    In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
    OS X:
    Phone number missing on OS X
    If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
    If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

  • Want same sender (From field) with different accounts

    I've got 3 different mail accounts.
    Now when i reply to a mail, Mail uses that email adress as sender that corresponds to that account.
    However, i would like to have the same sender email adress (the 'From:' field) with all of my email, no matter which account i received them through.
    [Thunderbird does that.]
    Is that possible?
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Go to Mail's preferences -> Composing & change the popup choice for "Send new Mail from:" in the "Addressing:" section from "Account of last viewed mailbox" to the specific sender you want to use.
    Does that do what you want?
    Note: you can also change the sender on a message-by-message basis with the popup next to the "Account:" section in new or draft mail.
    This changes the actual account the messages are sent from. If you just want replies to go to that address, use the "Reply to" field in new or draft messages.

  • Pls help:sending oracle reports with desformat=spreadsheet to email

    Is there a way to send the reports with desformat=spreadheet to email(destype=mail). I tried to execute the commandline with destype=mail desname=[email protected] desformat=spreadsheet but I am getting a report with html type attachment. How could I make it xls(excel) instead of html

    When having lots of repeating frames and fields placed in a complex pattern, the Oracle Reports doesn't know how to place them in the .xls cells.
    You ought to have a second layout for the report (containing the same data) that would print when the desformat = spreadsheet and would be be rather simple in comparison to the one that would print when desformat=pdf/html.
    In case you have several repeating frames it is best to have all the fields in those frames placed and vertically aligned on the same row in the layout, from left to right. This should give a reasonable output.

  • Thunderbird - Change default email 'save as' extension

    Saving an email as '.txt' allows the content to be checked without the risk of triggering a 'nasty'. The default 'Save as' uses '.eml' but it would be handy to allow the default to be changed to '.txt' as I've never yethad cause to save an email as '.eml'.

    I don't know of any way to change the default to txt, but another possibility is to install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ ImportExportTools] and choose the text format from the message right-click menu.

  • Newsletter email campaign - Mailling list with non "default" email address

    Hi all.
    We need to implement a newsletter email campaign but, with standard campaign execution, SAP CRM gets the "default" email addressess of BPs.
    We have a malling list of newsletter that contains a list of emails of our Business Partners.
    This mails sholdn't be the standard ones of this BPs. BPs can has many email addressess (more than one) and they can be subscrited with a non default email (email without default flag in SAP CRM).
    When we try to execute a Marketing campaign with these BPs, SAP CRM uses the default mail address to send the campaing.
    Is possible to execute a Mailling campaign setting the email receivers?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Mauro.
    We already have tried to use CRM_MKT_ADR_SEARCH Badi. We have implemented CHANGE_SEARCH_RESULTS method but with this it's only possible to choice between diferent Addresses Numbers.
    But, we have the same Addr. Number with more than one email address in ADR6. All this email address are in the same Adrress Number and Person Number.
    About your question, we are storing the newsletter emails into a Z table. This email adresses are already in BP address.
    Thank you for your idea.
    Do you have another way?

  • Is there an "insert all links" type of feature or add-on for Firefox that works with Thunderbird?

    Hello Firefoxies,
    Is there an "insert all links" type of feature or add-on for Firefox that works with Thunderbird or any email app? I want to be able to insert all the links from a Firefox bookmarks folder automatically in to an outgoing email and include the names that I have given to those saved links / bookmarks.
    I searched for this add-on on the Firefox and the Thunderbird sites, but I don’t think the one that I found is for what I am thinking of.
    What I would like to do is to be able to add all the links in a saved tabs folder, or any bookmarks folder, from Firefox in to the body of an outgoing email preferably in Thunderbird, or any email app... so I could just click and all the links and hopefully all the names that I have given to those links will then appear in the body of an outgoing email automatically, ready for me to then write what I want, plug in an address, and send.
    When I did a search of add-ons on the Firefox and Thunderbird sites, I found something called “Open all links 0.3.1” on the Thunderbird site that I think is for the opposite of my description... I think this add-on is to automatically open all the links in an email that is received... '''which IS NOT what I want to do'''... I want to place all the links that I have in a Firefox bookmarks folder in to an outgoing email... the URL to the “Open all links 0.3.1” add-on is below for you to look at just in case I am reading this wrong...

    Otherwise, I could not find any add-on that fits my description.
