6 - Adding Attachments to Email
Email applications facilitate file sharing and information transport by allowing you to “attach” files to your email message. Whether you would like to attach an image in an email to your parents or email a group of fellow students a paper, attaching files to your email easily allows you to do so.
One very important consideration when “attaching” files to email messages is the size of the attached file – the general rule is that you should never send files that are over 2 MB. Doing so may fill the email recipient’s inbox and not allow them to receive email, or the email simply may not send at all.
1. Compose a new email (once again addressing it to yourself). Click on the Attach icon and a navigational window will open that will allow you to find a file that you would like to “attach” to your email.
2. Once you find your file, highlight it and select Open.
3. Notice in the top right “Attachments” window that the file you selected now appears.
4. Go ahead and send the message – remember that you sent the email and attachment to yourself. Check your inbox and open your message; locate your attachment in the top right corner. To open the attachment, double-click on it.
