What's an Attachment?
|
|
An attachment is a separate file that you, well,
"attach" to an email you're going to send. Folks use them to augment their
message. For example, let's say I'm writing a letter to my mom and am telling her about my
latest boyfriend. I can't find the words to describe all of his tattoos and piercings, so
I want to "attach" a picture of him to help her understand how absolutely groovy
he is. :-)
Or I want to email my boss to tell her how far sales
had climbed since our last
campaign, which I headed up. I could just give her a list of percentages, but it's
more effective for me to "attach" a PowerPoint graph so she can really see how
great an employee I am.
Newer email clients nowadays have a way to attach a file to the email you send. To
learn how to use this feature, check out the Help menu on your computer screen
after you open your email client.
