This is one of those things that seem simple, but turns out to be 
complicated. For some reason Photos.app does not appear to provide the 
actual file to the sharing extension when dealing with movies (while it 
does for images). Therefore MailMate didn't support attaching movies 
without first dragging the movie to the Finder. But I've now spent some 
time on this and it turns out that I do get access to a file path if I 
“ask” the interface for the movie itself instead of first asking if 
it's available. This was not clear to me based on the Apple 
documentation (I might have misunderstood something).

In other words, I think this will work in the next update.
