Attaching a File

You can attach a file to your e-mail. The attached file is sent with the e-mail. The receiver can then read your e-mail and also open the attached file, or save it to the hard drive.

1. Create an e-mail.
2. Click Attach.
3. In the Insert Attachment dialog box, locate the file you want to attach, select it, and click Attach. (You can select more than one file at a time by pressing Ctrl (PC)/Command (Mac) as you select additional files.)
4. Send your e-mail. If the attached file is very large, notify your receiver in the e-mail. E-mails with large attachments can take a long time to download.
