If you need to copy a list of files you have in a folder to email somebody, or just for yourself, then do the following:

  1. Open the desired folde in the finder
  2. Select the items you need to list
  3. Go to Edit / Copy
  4. Then go to your e-mail or text-edit program and select Edit -> Paste
[Editor's note: When using this copy and paste method, make sure you've clicked into the destination app before pasting, otherwise you'll invoke the Finder's "other" definition of paste, and make a copy of everything you've selected!]
