I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Microsoft Office 2003 32-bit. The "Send To Mail
Recipient.mapimail" does work. I'm not sure if M$ fixed this in the new NT6
(I haven't tried Windows 2008) code but they should write a fix for NT5
(2003, XP).

Thanks RNASNSMN!
One slight modification, be sure to add the /a switch to the shortcut so
that it will include the file you want to send in the email. The switch goes
outside of the quotes.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\outlook.exe" /a
