→ Dragging files onto the Mail.app icon in the Dock makes Mail crash
There’s a shortcut for sending a new email with an attachment to someone in OS X: drag the attachment onto Mail’s icon on the Dock. This causes Mail to open a new message with the attachment sitting inside.
Lately, however, Mail freezes when I do this and I have to force quit. The culprit appears to be a recent update to WebKit and happens if you normally send plain text messages, and have a signature. (Talk about your perfect storm.) Switching to rich text avoids the problem, although personally, I’m not a big fan of rich-text email.
Kudos to the troubleshooters on the Apple support forum.
