This is probably an issue with thunderbird command line.. (if you use this method)
The parameter attachement need 1 file only
Can you try to have multiple times the attachement parameter with each file using a batch or from command line to test if it works.

The problem is that %P%S makes a list of file names separated with spaces, but Thunderbirds command line expects the file names to be separated with commas.

You could use: %C1,%C2,%C3 in stead, but this will for example only work with exactly 3 selected files. (you can use up to %C9)

Isn't it easier to just select the files and then drag and drop them to the little attachment window in Thunderbirds Compose dialog?

Example button for 3 attached files:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose
"body='See attached file %N',attachment='%P%N'"
wciconex.dll,28
Thunderbird e-mail with 3 attachments


-1
To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".
