Cricket, thank you, the Applescript works perfectly. I'm a happy 
camper, your script will be a time saver. You have also equipped me 
with a delightful story that I can share with my PC friends. VBG

Cricket, I suspect many people would be happy if a future version of 
Mail enabled the insertion of a text files content; I certainly would 
be. Click a menu item or even a custom toolbar icon - select a text 
file from the file browser window - text inserts at the current 
selection point in the new email.

Perhaps I should be asking the Apple TextEdit or Bare Bones people if 
an insert text service is possible.

Thanks again!
