Mojave (current version): adding an attachment in Apple Mail crashes Mail. Attaching thru Photos works.

Mojave (current version): adding an attachment in Apple Mail either using the paperclip OR simply dragging the attachment into the email window causes Mail to go into the permanent spinning beach ball. Rebuilt the mailboxes, trashed the Envelope Index files, still crashing.
