Yes, Outlook processes only one attachment from the command line, thanks to Microsoft. It would only be possible via a native Windows API.

OK, good to know. I'll be using TB instead.

Maik,

One solution with Outlook is to prepare a tarball on attachments before.

The same problem exists with Apple Mail application.

It looks like Microsoft has recently become aware of the problem:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-to-attached-multiple-files-using-outlook-365/34e472bf-6a84-47a2-81c6-f756dcb6b489

The only alternative currently possible would be to create a ZIP file.

Hi Maik,

yes, and definitively, create an archive with KF6::KArchive framework is the best way for all platforms.

A similar bug exists for the Apple Mail application under macOS.
