I use a manual filter.  I have a program in my Windoze Send-To 
folder, called SendToClipboardAsName.exe.  It was part of the 
"send to toys" for Win2000.  In my filter, I use an User Hook 
(background) to run this program:

C:\Program Files\Send To Toys\SendToClipboardAsName.exe

This puts the filename in the clipboard, and I can paste it into 
explorer.  Unfortunately, because of where I stuck PMMail (in a 
folder in My Documents), it doesn't work because of the ampersand, 
so I have to edit it.  But knowing the filename is a snap.

FWIW, your email is:

C:\Documents  Settings\david.hathaway\My Documents\Personal
\Program Files\SouthSoft\PMMail 98\TOSN_0.ACT\INBOX.FLD\PMMai0.FLD
\HLO2W90.MSG

Note the lack of ampersand in Documents & Settings.  If PMMail 
were in Program Files, it would work.  But knowing the account 
folder and file name is very useful nonetheless.
