# 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.

| Note See also Sending an Edited Attachment.

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

1. In the New Message form toolbar, click the Attachment icon.
2. The Attachments window will open. Under Choose file to attach, type the name of the file you want to add to your message, or click Browse to search for the file name.
3. Click Attach and the file will be added to your message. The name of the file will appear under Current file attachments.
4. Repeat this procedure for each file you'd like to attach.
5. Click Send to send your message with the attachments you have added.
   or
   Click Go Back to Message to return to the New Message form. The name of your attached files will now appear in the message heading, under Attachments.

To remove one or more attachments from a message:

1. If necessary, in the New Message form or Read 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.
