  Thunar includes a **Send To** sub menu, which provides possible targets where files can be sent to. It is available from both the file context menu, and the **File** menu in the menu bar.

  ===== Default targets =====
  
  By default, the **Send To** menu includes an entry named **Desktop (Create Links)** for all files and folders, which simply creates a link on the desktop for each selected file. In addition, if the **Shortcuts** side pane is active, the menu also includes an entry **Side Pane (Create Shortcuts)** for folders, which allows the user to add new shortcuts to the side pane (if you don't want to use drag'n'drop).
  
  The Thunar distribution also includes the ''thunar-sendto-email'' plugin (in the ''plugins/'' subfolder), which adds an entry **Mail Recipient** to the menu, that opens the mail composer with the selected files attached to the new email. If the selection contains atleast one folder, the selected items are added to a ZIP archive before attaching them. Otherwise, if the selection contains multiple files, or a single file, which is larger than 200KiB, the user will be prompted whether to pack the files into a ZIP archive, and send the ZIP archive. The mail composer is launched via the [[http://www.xfce.org/documentation/api-4.4/exo/exo-Executing-Applications.html|Xfce Preferred Applications]] framework, but the applications (and esp. the launchers) must support attaching files to emails explicitly (fortunately, all included launches for mail clients, i.e. Thunderbird, Evolution, Sylpheed, Kmail and Mutt, already support this since exo 0.3.1.7).

+ Attachments with icedove doesn't work for me here, so I wrote my own .desktop file, and placed it in .local/share/Thunar/sendto/icedove.desktop
+ 
+ With the following lines in it:
+ 
+ <file>
+ [Desktop Entry]
+ Type=Application
+ Version=1.0
+ Encoding=UTF-8
+ Exec=icedove -compose 'attachment=file://%F'
+ Icon=icedove
+ Name=Icedove
+ </file>
  
  ===== Extending the menu =====
  
  The **Send To** menu can be easily extended by users and other applications using standard [[http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec|desktop entry files]], that are placed in ''$XDG_DATA_DIRS/Thunar/sendto''.
