Downloading Attachments

Depending on the recipient's connection speed, a file attachment can take a while to download. For this reason, you may want to compress the file(s) into a compressed folder before sending.

A Word on File Types

For the recipient to open the file, he or she must have the appropriate software program. For example, if you send a Word document, the recipient must have a program that can open and work with Word documents. If you are not sure, you can save the document using a generic file type such as plain text when you create the actual file.

TIP

Removing a File Attachment

To remove a file attachment from an e-mail message, right-click the filename in the message window's Attach box and click Remove .
