Possible to email from finder window?

Question

I know this should be simple but, how can I drag and drop a file from finder to email it instead of composing a new mail message and then navigating to the file?

Chances are that this and the problem described in your other thread are related. If the problems persist after doing what I’ve suggested there, look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

You may also try the following to check whether the problem is system-wide. Beware, however, that setting up the same Gmail account in multiple user accounts would cause messages downloaded while logged in as one user to not be available for download while logged in as the other, regardless of the Remove copy from server settings:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
