Is there an easy way to send a document and its bibliography via email?

I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious, but one thing I often do is to email an article and its reference information to a student. (I'm a Mac user, and use an email app like Mail or Mailmate).

Is there any way to, in one step, attach the document and its reference information to an email?

    You can drag the item from Zotero to the mail program to insert a formatted reference. If you expand the item to show the attachment (click the little arrow next to it on the lift or type the right arrow or + key), you can drag the attachment item to attach the file to the mail.

    If you want to send bibliographic data for importing into Zotero, I would recommend setting up a group library to share with your colleagues to send items back and forth.

    Thank you - that *is* obvious and it works well. I see I can drag the reference over as well, so 2 "drags" will produce what I want.

    Thanks for taking the time to help out a neophyte - I appreciate it.
