6 Adding an attachment to an email message

Emails can have extra files attached to them – photos, text, graphics, etc.

To attach a file to an email, click on the Attachment icon (sometimes a paperclip). A box should appear with a list of files for you to search through. Find the file you want to attach and double click on it. Its name will appear in a box below the subject box of your email. NB Depending on the size of the file you are attaching, it may take a while. Then type your email as normal, and send it.
