Obviously, Michelle you're not willing to help :p, here is some
explanation on why I'm doing this.
No, I'm pointing out that scripting is not the be-all and end-all of
doing things; that often it is easier just to do something in the UI
manually than to script it--and I think that this is one of those cases.
On a 23" screen I think it is far easier to select a Contextual
Menu from the Finder that having to drag & drop all the files to
Mail which icon resides in my Dock (at the bottom of the screen,
its takes me three mouse drags to take a file from the top right of
the screen to the bottom left when it could all be done in one
mouse click), this is the only reason that pushes me to try this.
My contextual menu offers me a list of (frequent) recipients, or
all the contacts of the address book that do have a mail address
As I see it, with the contextual menu, you would first have to right-
click on the file you wish to attach to the mail; if you want to
attach more than one file, you would have to select them all (command
clicking, shift clicking, and or drag selecting) and then right click
on one of the selected items. You would then have to choose the
recipient from the popup menu.
Sure, the rest, including sending the mail, would be automated.
It doesn't seem to me like you would be saving much time or effort
compared to dragging the files to the dock (which entails the same
selection methodology as using the contextual menu, typing the
recipient (especially with auto-complete active), and clicking the
"Send" button.
But as far as what you're asking for help for, I can't help there; I
don't use or even have any of those other email programs.
