Hello,
When I right click on a file and select "email to [kindle address]",
it fails with the error below.
I can drag and drop the same file into the Kindle desktop app, "send to Kindle" or email the file with my Outlook program as an attachment. Both of them work fine.

What am I missing?
Thanks, Howard
