Neat!
I was going to suggest that one can open Mail then click on:
"new message"
"attach"
in upper RH field of new window enter name of tune. You could also
enter "iTunes" then search the results.
click tune name once to highlight, then click "ok".
But your method is much quicker!
Thank you for mentioning copyright Allen. Granted I'm not overly
familiar with copyright as it applies to online music sales, (and
exactly the difference between "owning a song" and DRM as it applies
to online sharing) but if one purchases tunes through a legitimate
online reseller, I'm pretty sure that although it's likely a small
one, a percentage of that sale goes to the artist.
IMO, distribution of tunes w/o compensation to the artist is not cool.
Especially via the 'net. In theory, say with a popular song, this
action can happen many times, in mere seconds. I have no doubt that CD
sales are waning or basically dead. Thank goodness people like Apple
have stepped up and offered a way to purchase tunes legitimately.

(This assumes you're using the native mail app on your Mac for email, not a browser-based web email portal. Though the dragging from the desktop would probably work there too. It also assumes that you own the copyright for the song; ie no DRM.)
