Windows XP; Outlook 2003; yes there is a minimize button; huh - what
type of mail account? How about email account? And it only happens
when I start an email using Windows right click drop down "send to...
mail recipient" which I do daily as I must forward numerous files.
Doing it from explorer is much quicker than attaching files and then
having to find them.

I thought we "fixed" your problem? Since you are using the Send to mail
recipient command, you can use a shortcut to outlook and avoid the problem.

No, it wasn't fixed, somebody simply mentioned simplemapi was the cause.
If there was a link to the solution, I did not see it earlier.

So, I tried the solution in the link you provided and I still have a
problem, a bit different however. I created the shortcut and tested it
by double clicking on the shortcut, and sure enough a new email pops up
with my signature and it can minimized and it's perfect. I also tested
it by pasting it into Start_Run. Worked great.

BUT when right click on a file and I select Send to my new shortcut
(and I am selecting my new shortcut - no mistake) I get a message box
informing me

Cannot run office outlook. The command line argument is not valid.
Verify the switch you are using is correct.

Figure that one out! I am totally baffled.

Did you enclose the command line in quotes in the shortcut like the web page
shows? Do you have spaces in front of each switch (the parameters that start
with a slash) and in front of each switch argument?

I copied it from the Tips page. Thanks, I found the problem, the last
switch didn't paste, the /a. I stuck it on and voila, it works! You
guys have saved the day. I was ready to bail from Outlook as this
problem was driving me nuts.

THANKS Diane for being persistent and Brian for picking on details!
You guys rock!
