E-mail attachments
|
|
|
E-mail gives you the ability to send or attach any kind of file to a
message. For example you can attach a Word or WordPerfect file to your
message. This is very useful for exchanging files between people
over long or short distances. In the past you may have had to send a
disk through the mail, which could have taken a couple of weeks. Now it's
almost instant!
