customize the Finder Share menu

I'd like to customize the Finder Share menu option to default to Mail, not Message. Any ideas?

FWIW, there is no "default" in the Share Menu. You choose the option you prefer from the menu. If you haven't done so already, see the link leroy posted.

Here is one simple Automator workflow that takes whatever is selected in Finder, and creates a new Mail message with the selected files attached. You can even add customized subject and message text if you want to.

Just create a new Automator document, choose "Quick Action", fill it like this and name it - for example,

"Attach to New Mail". To use, select files, Control-click and choose from the contextual menu.




To add a keyboard shortcut, go to System Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Services, add the name of your quick action, and choose the desired shortcut.
