When an attachment's icon is highlighted in the message section of Mail, choosing Forward creates a message with the attachment as its only content.
When I needed to send someone just the file I got by mail, I used to remove the text body of an email message by hand and add some nice text. Recently, after having opened a file I went back to Mail's main window where the attachment was still selected. I hit Command+Shift+F and the new message contained only the Subject line, a short 'start of new message' text and the attachment.
[crarko adds: It's been generally true in Mail that selected text in a message is all that would be included in a reply/forwarding of that message. This special case of that rule is perhaps worth noting, given its usefulness and the fact that not everyone may be aware of it.]
