How can I add an attachment to a message?

To attach files to your email messages, do the following:

1. First click the Attach button in the compose screen.
2. A new window will popup to add attachments; click the "Browse" button to select a file from your hard drive
3. Click "OK" when you have selected the appropriate file attachment.
4. Once files are uploaded, you can check the size of the attachment or choose to delete the file.

NOTE: When attaching files to your email message, they must be encoded and in doing so, will increase in size. The attachments sent with email have to be translated into a different format so that other email programs can read it. This type of transformation will add about 33% to the original size of the attachment. Therefore, due to the translation a 2MB attachment may turn into a 2.66MB email after encoding.
