How can I send files with my e-mail?

You can send files such as word processor documents, spreadsheets and pictures with your e-mail messages. These are called attachments because it's similar to writing a letter, attaching a document or photo with a paper clip and then posting them all in the same envelope. Here's how to attach a file with Microsoft Internet Mail 1.0 -- if you use another e-mail program such as Netscape Navigator or Eudora some of the fine print may be different but the basic procedure is identical.
	1. Create a new e-mail message -- enter the recipients' e-mail address, subject and the body of your message as you normally would.
	2. To attach a file there's usually an icon with a paper clip or a pull-down Insert-File menu. Click this and a dialogue box appears. Make your way to the folder where the file is stored (it's just like using the File, Open command on your word processor).
	3. Select the document or picture to be attached and click the Attach button (if the file is very big, say anything greater than 500Kb, consider using WinZip to compress it before you attach the file to the message).
	4. A copy of the document or image is now contained inside your e-mail message. The original file remains on your hard drive. Click the Send button and your message is on the way!
