Using Mountain Lion, when I open any application that supports iCloud (TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Preview, etc.), then highlight an item and click the SHARE button at the bottom, I don't see "Email" as an option...though it's supposed to be there (it shows up in many Mountain Lion tutorial pictures). I see "Message" and "AirDrop" only. And yes, I have Mail.app setup. Any ideas?

Disregard...I just figured it out. As expected, Apple wants me to use ONLY Mail.app and my primary email is Gmail. Since my default client for composing email is Gmail, "Email" didn't appear on the SHARE button drop-down until I changed the default to Mail.app. Pity...it works fine in Safari 6...emailing a page from Safari uses my Gmail client just fine. Apple and Google need to play a little better together.

Hi Larry,
How to change from Gmail client to Mail 6.0 for this Share feature? I am seeing Chrome icon beside the "Email This Page" which I would want to change to Yahoo or Mail 6.0.
Please advice.
Open Mail, go to Preferences, and on the General tab the first thing is "Default email reader". Drop down to select the one you want. The email client you select will be the one used for the "Share" button on all iClound enabled apps.
Does anyone know of any way to make the share button work using an email application other than Mountain Lion's mail.app?
Specifically, I'm trying to make the share button work with Sparrow as my email client.
obzrv: just an FYI...Sparrow is now an orphaned application. It was purchased by Google a few months ago.
Thanks Larry I'm well aware :)
Doesn't make a difference though, in my opinion it's still my favorite mail client on OS X.
Regardless of the mail client sharing via email should be enabled using the share button.
I was hoping for a command prompt settings mod or something of the like :/
Share button missing "Email"
