With something like Launchbar or Quicksilver, you can very quickly  
locate a file once you know its filename, and then tell the app to  
open it with Mail.app, this would also create the desired email. For  
instance, I have a file called latticeReview.pdf right now open in  
Skim. I would trigger Launchbar with cmd-space, type "latrepdf" to  
have Launchbar locate the file, press tab and then type "mail" and  
enter, and voila. I find it particularly convenient. You don't have  
to use the trackpad/mouse at all. And it works whenever you want to  
open any file with any app, move any file to any folder etc.
