How do I send pictures or files with my e-mail message?

Document Actions

The following instructions assume you already created an e-mail message. (See previous answer How do I send an e-mail message)

  1. With your newly created message, click the "Attach" icon (usually a paperclip). If you cannot locate the "Attach" icon, choose the "Insert" menu above, then click "File".
  2. Now you must locate the file you wish to send. Double-click the file once you have located it. Your file or document will then be included in your e-mail once it is sent.
  3. You will notice that the e-mail message now contains a new icon. This icon represents the type of file attached to your e-mail.
  4. Clicking "Send", will send your message along with it's attachment(s).
The time required to send will increase depending on the size of the attachment(s) that you send. The bigger the file, the longer it takes to send. Also, most ISPs have a limit on the size of file that you send. InfoWest limits the size you can send to 10 megabytes. With a dial up connection you may want to limit your attachments to 2.5 megabytes. On a standard 56k connection, a 2.5 MB file will take between 15 and 20 minutes to send.
