@Bri @tired_and_wired I tried that just yesterday. I copied the file in Explorer, went to the email I was writing, and pasted. Nothing happened. I figured it just wasn't a thing. You mean it should have worked?

@alexhall @Bri yes. It shyould have worked.

@tired_and_wired @alexhall @Bri That works perfectly in Outlook and GMail Web. Thunderbird you still have to envoke the attach dialog with Ctrl+Shift+A, but can then paste as you otherwise would.

@jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri Good to know, thanks. So I just paste right into the path text field of the file chooser window? I never would have thought to do that.

@alexhall Yes. Copy the file to the clipboard, paste it into the filename box of any Open dialog and it will be converted to a textual path with proper quoting. @jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri

@jscholes @jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri It's always neat to learn some new trick in an operating system I've been using for most of my life.

@alexhall @jscholes @jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri Once you copy a file from File Explorer, in Outlook you don't even have to create the message before initiating the paste. From the inbox, instead of pressing ctrl+N, press ctrl+V. This invokes the New Message dialog and takes the file that you had copied and automatically attaches it to the message. Just fill out the relevant fields, to, cc, etc., type the message and send and the file is already attached.

@DavidGoldfield @alexhall @jscholes @jackf723 @Bri Now that one I did not know! @SerenaTori did you know this one?
