The easiest way to make a new Mail message and attach a file is to drag the file onto Mail's dock icon. A new message is then created with the file as an attachment. Unfortunately, dragging multiple files results in multiple messages with one attachment per message.

Create Mail.app attachments in one step
Uhh... is something missing here or is that really the hint?
Hint...
Until i tried it, I had no idea that dragging and dropping a file onto Mail's dock icon would create a new message with that file attached.
Hint...
Ahh.... I thought the hint would tell us how to work around the issue with dropping multiple attachments making multiple messages. Mac mail applications have supported dropping files on their icon (wherever it is: in the dock or in the Finder) for quite some time (back in OS <= 9.x), but then not all of us are kooky enough to have been using Macs since the Mac SE days. :)
Well...
Then there are those of us that are that kooky, but had never tried dragging and dropping a file on the email application icon ;-).
Well...
This ties into a previous hint, but if you drag multiple files, cmd-tab to Mail and tap cmd-n to make a new message, you can drop them all into one email.
Create Mail.app attachments in one step
This hint has been posted a few months ago (by me, in fact ;-)):
Durn...
I thought so and went digging this morning, but didn't find it (the new search engine still needs a bit of work, and it's coming soon, at least according to the Geeklog team).

Well, maybe the rest of you are jaded, or possibly more intuned to short-cuts, but I think this one nifty time-saving hint. |
