Hey Ali,

The Create new mail message action only allows 1 file attachment.

If you need to attach more than 1 file you’re probably going to have to resort to AppleScript.

Here’s an example:

set attachmentList to {alias "Mercury:Users:someone:Documents:Keyboard Maestro Stuff:Exported Macros:ACME Telephone Number Look-Up.kmmacros", alias "Mercury:Users:someone:Documents:Keyboard Maestro Stuff:Exported Macros:FrogScript.kmmacros"}

set toName to "Robert A. Heinlein"
set toAddress to "bob@pieinthesky.com"
set _sender to "H. Beam Piper <beam@littlefuzzy.org>"
set _subject to "Test Message"
set _body to "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

tell application "Mail"
  set _msg to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:_subject, content:_body & return & return}
  
  tell _msg
    set visible to true
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:toName, address:toAddress}
    set sender to _sender
    
    repeat with theAttachment in attachmentList
      make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last paragraph
    end repeat
    
  end tell
  
  activate
end tell
