<h6>Fun Way to Send Attachments in Mail</h6>
<p><p>If you're working in a file that you want to attach to a message in Apple Mail, you can transfer the file to Mail easily: From the title bar of the file's window, drag the little proxy icon to Mail's icon on the Dock. Your Mac will make Mail the active application and open a new outgoing message, with the file attached.</p><p> (If your icon won't drag, the file probably isn't saved.)</p></p>
