Support for "MAPI" (Send to Mail Recipient) or "Share" feature in Windows?
-
Windows has the MAPI function "Send to Mail Recipient" to send files via mail. This is supported by a lot of mail clients (including M2), but Vivaldi doesn't (or am I missing something?). I think it would be a cool addition, even if it's Windows only.
Also, the "Share" feature that is available since Windows 10 (or 8?) might be an option as it is basically the same.
What do you think?

@jan-ripper This setting should work.
Otherwise try to set M3 as default mail app to use with sendto/share (sadly, windoze sometimes decide to revert to their defaults)

"Right-click file -> Send to -> Mail Recipient" doesn't seems to work on Windows 11 Version 22H2 (Build 22621.819) with Vivaldi Snapshot 5.6.2839.3 64-bit set as the default mailto client. Also, "File -> Send in email" in Wordpad for example doesn't work. Vivaldi handles mailto links, but not MAPI . All works fine with Thunderbird set as the default mail client.

@burnout426 I'm on W11 21H2 22000.1219 with standalones only so not a good candidate to test this;
it also doesn't work if associations are made both in the settings app and legacy control panel?
(Sadly, w11 still have this kind of quirkes inherited since w8).
//edit: Nope. Default app cpl is dead.
Btw, is probably something already known issue as TBIRD manages to put the associations how any user would expect.
UNTESTED: but could help if also fix the sendto easily Vivaldi Stable+Snap | Patience Is The Key To Get The Vivaldi Spree | Unsupported Extensions | Github | w11 + Kde Manjaro + Android 13

legacy control panel
"Default programs" is no longer accessible via the control panel. It just redirects to the new Default App settings. Even
control /name Microsoft.DefaultPrograms /page pageDefaultProgramon the command-line no longer can be used as a workaround. -
@burnout426 Ouch. True, I tested and it doesn't anymore. Hope the tool linked above helps.

That definitely won't help, but thanks.

@burnout426 There is also this, but probably you already tried it.
Obviously MAPI have to be fixed but I fear it could works only on Program Files installation type, so no standalone or current user yet.Vivaldi Stable+Snap | Patience Is The Key To Get The Vivaldi Spree | Unsupported Extensions | Github | w11 + Kde Manjaro + Android 13

@Hadden89 If standalone can be registered as default, then it should be possible to make MAPI work for standalone. But at present MAPI won't work for Vivaldi at all. It's very difficult to code, to make the browser open or acknowledge a call, assign the function to the inbuilt mail client, and then attach a file to a blank email. And if you get it to work for some MAPI-directed apps, it's the very devil to get it to work for all of them. Some apps allow you internally to assign a client, and other apps just hand it off to Windows and hope.
I have been working with a couple of the developers to get MAPI working, because I really, really need it. No luck yet. The old Opera developers managed, after literally over a year of trying, to get it to work with Opera Presto's M2. But M2 is very different from M3, Opera Presto is very different from Vivaldi, and so it would mean starting from scratch. I actually thought we would see it by now, but it's been to tough so far.
