# Attaching a File

You can attach any type of file that is accessible from your computer or through your network. See also Sending an Edited Attachment and Reading Attachments.

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

1. Click the Attachments tab.
2. In the Attachment box, type the path and file name of the attachment.

   or

   Click Browse to search for the file name.
3. Click Add Attachment Now. Depending on your system's security settings, a Security Information dialog box may display, allowing you to continue or cancel the operation.
4. The file name of the attachment appears in the list of attachments.

Repeat this procedure for each file you'd like to attach. If you need to remove an attachment from the list, select the check box to the left of the file name and click Delete marked files.

| 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.
