Q: Can you still email direct from Preview?

Before Mountain Lion, you could email a document directly from Preview, but I cannot find that menu option anymore. Going to Mail and choosing the document as an attachment is a workaround, of course, but takes a lot more time. Any quicker solutions?

Automator has always been a mystery to me. However, upon submitting the question, an item came up on the sidebar locating the share button in Preview where the email option is still available. Talk about mysteries, why was it necessary to hide both the email and Save As options? Were they hugely in the way somehow? Thanks for your speedy answer, though.
