MapiMailer Email Export Plugin for Lightroom
The MapiMailer Export Plugin is a complete rewrite my popular MapiMailer export post-processing action for Windows users. It solves the problem that prevents Windows users from exporting more than one image to their email application.
When you export using the MapiMailer plugin, it will attach as many images as you select to a new blank email, ready to be sent by your default Windows email program.
