An attachment is a file you send along with your e-mail message. Sending an attachment is kind of like
paper-clipping a separate document to a letter. In fact, Outlook Express uses a paper clip icon to indicate
that a message has an attachment, and the button you click to add an attachment sports a paper clip design as
well.
Here is the procedure for adding an attachment to an outgoing message:
Click the Attach button. The Insert Attachment dialog box appears.
Rummage through the folders on your hard drive until you find the file you want to insert. When you find
the file you want to attach, click the filename to select it.
Click Attach. The file is inserted into the message as an attachment. An icon for the attachment appears on
a special Attach line that is inserted beneath the Subject field in the message header.
Finish the message and then click the Send button. Finish typing the message and then click Send to send
the message on its way.
