Thanks again for the real-world advice. I re-installed S.M. 2.21, and
the e-mailing of Picasa pix now works well. I'll therefore keep
using the 2.21 until the newest update comes out in circa
mid-December, hoping that the then newest update corrects this
annoying bug.
I really appreciate your help in solving this vexing problem, and for
your politeness in the process.
Here's an easily reproduced series of steps on Windows 7:
From a Windows Explorer window, do either of the following:
a) select a file and click "email" at the top;
b) select a file, right-click, and select Send to... Mail recipient.
To the end user, it appears in both cases that nothing happens, but in
Windows Task Manager you can see that a new process called fixmapi.exe
*32 (FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool) silently appears. If you repeat the
process several times, several instances of fixmapi.exe are generated.
After a minute or two (depending on your machine's speed, I suppose),
each terminates on its own, with no visible result.
It doesn't matter if a mail composition window is open or not.
Here's another set of reproducible steps:
From MS Word 2010, choose File: Save & Send, Send Using Email, Send as
Attachment. The computer thinks for a while (ring-shaped spinner), then
this error message pops up:
Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure:
"Unspecified error."
[Show Help >>]
[OK] [Help]
Was this information helpful?
Choosing "OK" returns this error message:
Word was unable to mail your document.
[OK] [Help]
Was this information helpful?
Choosing "OK" dismisses the dialog with no further result.
As before, it doesn't matter if a mail composition window is open or
not.
This is on a machine where SeaMonkey is the default mail application. I
can't vouch for what happens if it's not.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the interesting info, which I shall look into soon, when I am
fully awake. Inasmuch as I can now send Picasa pix by e-mail again, it
is of theoretical interest to check this out. When I tried a similar
maneuver with SM 2.22, the e-mail could not be sent.

Mort, I wouldn't bother with this. Paul has given you an interesting set
of steps to reproduce the problem, but since you've downgraded your
SeaMonkey already, you will find yourself perplexed as to why he's
suggested you do these things. My advice: Don't bother. Just enjoy a
working MAPI in SM as you have now and check the release notes prior to
upgrading to a new version to ensure that the problem has been fixed.
Warmest regards,
trane
Ditto that, however I prefer to think he retrograded, not downgraded.
