# Attaching a File

In the Attachments window you can attach any type of file that is accessible from your computer or through your network. This utility also lets you remove attachments. See also Sending an Edited Attachment.

To attach a file to an e-mail or posted reply:

1. In the Message or Post form, click the Attachment icon.
2. The Attachment window will open. Under Choose a file to attach, type the path and file name of the attachment, or click Browse to search for the file.
3. Click Attach and the file will appear under Current file attachments. Repeat steps 1-3 for any additional files you wish to attach.
4. Click Close to return to the Message or Post form. The file(s) you selected will now appear in the message heading, beside Attachments.

To remove one or more attachments from a message:

1. If necessary, in the Message form toolbar, click the Attachment icon.
2. In the attachments window, under Current file attachments, select the check boxes beside those files you wish to remove.
3. Click Remove.

| Tips Attachments are not copied when you reply to a message. Instead, a marker appears in place of the file. To include attachments, forward the message instead of replying to it. To exclude the original message text from your reply, delete the heading and text of the original message. This makes the message smaller and faster to send and receive.

| IMPORTANT Before editing attached files, you must download them to your computer. For help downloading files, see your browser documentation.
