Receiving e-mail attachments

When someone sends you an e-mail message with an attachment, you will see an icon ( ) in the head of the e-mail message. Click this icon to display an icon of the attached file in the bottom of the window. When you double-click this attached file icon, you will be prompted to either save or open the file. Choose Save. Once the file is saved, and before opening it, you might want to scan it for viruses.

Attached images and Web pages

If someone sends you an e-mail message with an image or a Web page attached to it, you will see the image or the Web page in the body of the message. Attached Web pages will also have a hyperlink to them somewhere in the body of the message.
