The easiest way to share a file with another user is via email, as an attachment. Attaching a File to an Email MessageTo send a file via email, you attach that file to a standard email message. When the message is sent, the file travels along with it; when the message is received, the file is right there, waiting to be opened. To attach a file to an outgoing email message, follow these steps:
The attached file is now listed in a new Attach: field below the Subject: field in the message window. When you click the Send button, the email message and its attached file are sent together to your Outbox. Opening an Email AttachmentWhen you receive a message that contains a file attachment, you'll see a paper clip icon in the message header and a paper clip button in the preview pane header. You can choose to view (open) the attached file or save it to your hard disk. To view or open an attachment, click the paper clip button in the Preview pane header, and then click the attachment's filename. This opens the attachment in its associated application. (If you're asked whether you want to save or view the attachment, select view.) To save an attachment to your hard disk, click the paper clip button in the preview pane header, and then select Save Attachments. When the Save Attachments dialog box appears, select a location for the file and click the Save button. |
