Sending Attachments In addition to sending text messages, most e-mail programs allow you to attach word-processing documents, spreadsheets, graphics, audio, video, and other electronic files to your message.   To attach a file: Click on the Attachment or Include File icon, often represented by a paper clip. This feature is often located on the toolbar or on a pull-down menu.   Locate the file on your computer's hard drive or other storage device from the window that opens requesting the name of the file.   Select the file you want from the file attachment window. An icon representing the file may appear in the body of your message, or the name of the file appears in the Attachment line of your message window.   Files sent as attachments need to be encoded. E-mail software usually does this automatically.   Learn the Net (www.learnthenet.com) is Copyright 1996-2008. Michael Lerner Productions. All Rights Reserved.
