I noticed that Mail has the option to Add to iPhoto attachements.
Is there anyway to get Mail to add to Aperture as well?
Not directly as is the case with iPhoto.
But you can set up an Automatior action to do the job. Ths one set as a mail service works:
Modify the Aperture stuff to fit your needs.

Thanks. If you choose import by reference (since I have a referenced library) I guess I would then have to relocate the masters? Since I want them in a specific location, named with the Project name.
I sent Apple a feature request.
I suspect that for several reasons including how Mail handles attachments a workflow that imports files into the Aperture Library will be more robust. You can always and easily filter for Images that have Managed Masters and relocate them.
Since I run several Libraries I have set up Finder folders for each into which I save Mail attachments and Web downloads, then periodically import the contents of the Finder folder by moving the files to the location I want.
Note, too, that you always drag-and-drop from Mail (and other apps). This works well for those one-at-a-time imports. I had thought there was a way to force Aperture to import as referenced using the last used import settings, but I can't find any record of this (perhaps it was dropped).
I think I'd be happy with a link in Mail that simply opens up the images in the import dialog. I can take it from there.
Mail, Add To Aperture
