Using Outlook Express for E-mail
Setting the Format for Attachments (Mac only)
You can set the format for attachments so that they are more easily readable by your recipients:
- Choose Edit > Preferences.
- Click the Compose tab.
- In the Messages section, click "Click here for attachment options." Choose one of the encoding options.
- On the right side, click None. (Do not use the Stuffit option if you ever send to PCs -- and you probably do.)
- Under "Compatibility & Efficiency" choose "Append Windows extension to file names." If you want to send attachments to Cc and Bcc recipients, click that option as well.
- Click the Close button of the window.
- Click OK.
