David Chartier at The Unofficial Apple Weblog took one look at a recent macOSXHints tip 
about emailing files quickly with Finder’s Folder Actions, and decided it was way too much work to set up.
Instead he developed an Automator Action to do the same job.
When you have configured, it does the same job as the Folder Action, and can be placed as a droplet in the Dock or added to the Finder’s Contextual menu.
It’s available with some instructions on the TUAW web site .
Alternatively, you could look at the bundle of three Automator Actions that make up Desktop Mailer on the Automator.us site.
This Collection of Autmator Actions was featured on Hawk Wings way back in the olden days.
It provides workflows to create a new message containing the selected file, another to send the file off automatically to a predetermined email address or a final one that archives the file(s) first.
Whichever way you go, this is a time-saver for anyone who frequently emails files.
