Mail | Drag and drop attachments via the Dock
If you want to send someone an image by email, you can drag the image file down to the Mail icon in the Dock.
1. In the Finder, navigate to the folder containing the image file.
2. Drag the image file to the Mail icon in the Dock (the strip of icons across the bottom of your screen).
As a result
Mail will move to the foreground, and a new message window will open with the image file already attached to it. All you have to do is address it.
For me, it's by far the simplest, fastest, best way of doing attachments. I avoid having to navigate through folders ala the Attach button.
If you want to send a bunch of files, you can select them all and drag the bunch of them to the Mail icon in the Dock.
Alternatively, if you already have a new email message window open, you can drag the file you want to attach directly into the message.
