I just found this today...maybe everyone else knows this already, but I haven't seen it posted here.
I was trying to send a couple files to someone from my Droid, and Gmail would only allow me to attach picture files. VERY frustrating.
I finally opened up Astro file manager to see if I renamed the files w/a ".jpg" ending it would let me attach the files as fake jpgs.
I did a long press on one of the files to get to the Edit menu, and lo and behold, what do I see but a "Send" option that I had forgotten was there.
Tap Send and choice of Gmail or Email offered to me.
Tap Gmail and message opens w/the file attached and read to address and send.
Tah-dah!
I couldn't find a way to select and send multiple files in one email, but just happy I can send one at a time at this point...Google needs to get off their duffs and allow non-photo attachments in email.
Hopefully this isn't old news...but even it if it is, I'm pretty happy I found this.
