Email Export action

[Alex Mac]

Good afternoon everyone,

I am trying to set up an export action that will allow me to email a photo via Outlook from Lightroom.

When I try to export a photo, Outlook opens but a warning message is displayed “The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using”

I have looked in my program files and located the file Outlook.exe, which will open Outlook if I double click it.

I have made a short cut to this file and dragged that into the Lightroom Export actions folder.

Then saved it as a preset in the export dialog.

I must have done something wrong, but at the moment I cannot see what.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks gmac

Thank Don, I will give that a go. Should have done a search myself, sorry.
Thanks

Email mapi Mailer

Hi,
I have downloaded the Mapi Mailer program, however straight away my anti-virus software (AVG) highlighted a "Trojan horse sheur BAMT"

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks gmac

I've been using Mapi Mailer for ages - very poor that Adobe don't provide this feature on Windows. Anyway, I've not had a problem with the program.

Yes, that's been noted, as a bogus detection. I believe if you download directly from Steve Sutherland's site, that version installs fine. Find it here.
