Working with Attachments

Reading Attachments

Messages with attachments may be identified as containing attachments in your INBOX via a paper clip icon when viewing your INBOX.

When viewing a message, attachments are listed on the Part(s) line of a message.

• Click the attachment name to view the attachment from within your web browser. Note that this will only work if your web browser is capable of displaying the file. (For example, most web browsers can display html and jpeg files.) Some versions of some web browsers will download the file instead of displaying it whether they are capable of displaying it or not (this is a limitation of some browsers).

• Click the download icon to download the attachment file to your computer, where you can use the appropriate application to open and read the file. (For example, if the file is a Microsoft Word file, you can use Word to open the downloaded file.) Some versions of some browsers might display rather than download the file.

6. Repeat Steps 2-5 to add more attachments.

To remove an attachment, click on the Delete? checkbox for that attachment, then click on the Update Attachment Information link at the bottom of the attachment section.
