Sounds like you're doing Mail, Email to...(Compose), <address> (it's always good to describe exactly what command you're running).

The easiest way to start an email message to someone (assuming you use Address Book and have the QS Address Book Plugin installed), is to bring up the contact in the first pane and use the Compose Email action. This opens a new email message in mail already addressed.

There are Email to... and Email item... actions (both with Compose, Send and Send Directly variations) that can be used to send text or attachments directly from quicksilver. They are used (roughly) as follows:

Mail, Email to...(Compose), <address>
<address>, Email Item...(Compose) <text or file>

See the manual for much more detail and the different between Compose, Send and Send Directly.

New to QS and I am getting used to all the functions.

One thing I haven't figured out is how to get it to compose an email
correctly. I think I can get it to consistently start up Mail, but
when I tap in the shortcuts to Compose and email to someone from my
Address Book, it tries to add the entire Mail.app as an attachment.

Happens each time I go to compose an email while working on another
app. Any suggestions?
