[John Navas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.22

When file(s) are selected in Windows Explorer, context menu Send To > Mail Recipient results in nothing happening with 2.0.0.22 updated automatically from 2.0.0.21; Works fine in 2.0.0.21; 100% reproducible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select files in Windows Explorer
2. Right click to pop up Context Menu
3. Select Send To > Mail Recipient
Actual Results:  
Outlook pops up a window complaining about not being the default mail client.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird Compose window opens with selected files Attached.

Solved the problem by installing 2.0.0.21 (which worked properly),
and then installing 2.0.0.22 (instead of updating).
2.0.0.22 now works properly.

Note: During the install of 2.0.0.22 I got an error that MapiProxy.dll was in use. I had to log off, back in, and redo the install.

This appears to be the same problem as bug 482966 against 3.0beta (now fixed).
