Archive and Mail
**Function:** Takes the selected files and/or folders, creates a .zip archive to the Desktop and attaches it to a new Mail message.
**Author**: Joern Hartmann
**Notes**: This Workflow is great when you want to quickly email the selected items as a single archive file. It works best as a Contextual Menu Plug-in: Copy into ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/

Great Workflow! Worked perfectly, and I’ll use it a lot.

Good workflow! It works quite well but the archive file contains dot-Files and a MacOSX folder. That’s bad for windows user, because they see also these files.
