Windows  10  has  a  nasty habit of resetting file associations to the
"Microsoft defaults". I am having this issue with PDFs. First they get
reassociated  with  Edge,  Look  for  EdgeBlocker  -  this  stops Edge
starting,  but  then  they  get  reassociated  with  TWINUI after some
unpredictable time of setting it back to what it should be. That works
for a while, but eventually it gets reset.

It is not deprecated, they are different protocols. Simple MAPI allows to send 
an email (with an attachment) from any application, while Extended MAPI allows 
accessing message stores (folders with mail messages).

It is better to select just "The Bat!", not "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit".

The problem is that even under 64-bit Windows, the Mapi Stub DLL calls 
fixmapi.exe which is a 32-bit application and expects the final MAPI dll to be 
32-bit, that's why "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit" wont' work under Windows 64. 
But in case of applications call it directly (I don't know such), we have also 
implemented "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit".

Fair enough. What I had read said Simple MAPI was deprecated in favour 
of Enhanced MAPI.

In my Windows 10 its called "default programs" or "default apps" 
depending which screen view I look at (in case this helps anyone 
to find it). 

I don't see MAPI under "Choose applications by protocol" but can 
see The Bat! and the two "The Bat! Simple MAPI" entries under "Set 
defaults by app".

Is it best to select "URL mailto protocol" and "MAPI Send email command" 
under The Bat!, or under "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit"?

No, Simple Mapi is just an interface which allow applications like MS Word, 
Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader, etc. to send email messages. They still use 
Simple Mapi.

An application loads mapi32.dll from Windows system directory, which is just a 
stub, that, in its turn, looks for a default Simple Mapi handler via registry, 
at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail

I had read somewhere that Vista was the last version of Windows that 
came with Simple MAPI support.

I thought when a application tries to find a DLL it searches in the 
current directory before the windows system directory. My The Bat! 
program directory contains tbmapi64.dll but TB! does not display the 
"Install The Bat! as the simple MAPI request handler" button.
