Sending Mail Attachments

The procedure for attaching a file or files to an email message varies a little depending on the email program you use. In general, you can click on an attachment icon, such as a paper clip, located on the toolbar of the mail program or select Insert on the menu then select File... You then browse the hard drive or removable disks to select the file you want to attach. When the file is found, click the file to select it and click "OK". The attached file will appear as part of the email header or as an icon within the body of your email message.

Many mail programs will allow you to drop and drag a file you want to attach into the message. To use this method, locate the file you want to send on your hard drive or removable disk. Once the file is located, open your email program and begin composing a new message. Drag the file on the hard drive or removable disk to the body of the message and release the mouse. Note: If the message cannot be dropped into the body, try dropping it into the subject field.
