Working with Attachments

An attachment is an image, document, or executable file that you send or receive with your email.

To View an Attachment

  1. Select the attachment icon in the attachment list.

    Figure 10-8 Example of an attachment icon

  2. Choose Open from the Attachments submenu in the Message menu, or double-click the attachment icon.


    Note - If Open does not appear on the Attachments submenu, you cannot open the attachment.


To Print an Attachment

  1. Select the attachment.

  2. Choose Print from the Attachments submenu in the Message menu.


    Note - If your system does not provide the ability to print attachments, or if the attachment cannot be printed, the Print item will not be available.


To Add an Attachment

  1. Compose your email message.

  2. Choose Add File from the Attachments menu in the Compose window.

    The Mailer - Attachments - Add dialog box is displayed. See "Using the File Selection Dialog Box"for more information.

  3. (Optional) Click the Keep dialog box open on desktop check box.

    This indicates that you do not want the dialog box to close after the Add button is clicked. This eliminates the need to choose Add File from the Attachments menu to add more than one attachment.

  4. Select a file to attach and click Add.

    The attachment is added to the attachment list in the lower portion of the Compose window.

    To remove an attachment you just added, select its icon and choose Delete from the Attachments menu.

    To restore a deleted attachment, choose Undelete from the Attachments menu.

  5. (Optional) Choose Rename from the Attachments menu to change the name of a selected attachment.

    If you drag and drop messages from the Message Header List in the main window to the attachment list, Mailer creates one mailbox that contains all of the messages.
