In Pages '08 and earlier, each Pages document was a folder packages, something that confused a lot of mail programs.
In Pages '09, the files are just standard files by default. (You can change the default behaviour to packages in the preferences.) One easy way to mail files is to use the "Share" menu. Here you can send the front document using Mail.app in different formats.
If you want to mail a package, you can do that too:
1. Control-click or right-click on the file in Finder.
2. Choose "Compress ...." from the pop up menu.
3. You will get an "archive", a compressed zip-file, which you can attach to your mail, just like any other file.
The recipient will download the attachment, double click on it, and the original iWork file will be ready to be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote.

Thanks! This helped me out a lot.
Are you SERIOUS?!!!! What a hassle and how am I supposed to use this for my business.
There is an easier way, In pages > Share > send from mail > pages ( or word or PDF ) > WIN!
I can't find anywhere for a SHARE button! Am I blind?
This has changed a little from version to version. Blowndub's advice is good for Pages '09 at least. There is no "Share" button but a "Share" menu just to the left of the Help menu.
