Reading Attachments
An attachment is a file that can be created in any program and attached to an e-mail message, such as a Microsoft Word document, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, a .wav file, or a bitmap. When a message contains an attachment, Outlook Web Access displays a paper clip symbol beside it in the folder listing.
When the message is opened, you will see the name of the attached file in the message heading information. Some attachments, such as .txt and .gif files, will be opened directly by the Web browser.

WARNING For security reasons, you should not open an attachment unless you are sure about the content and the person who sent it to you. Attachments are a very common method for spreading computer viruses.
|
To view an attachment, double-click the attachment file name, located in the message heading information. The attachment will open in a new browser window.
|
IMPORTANT Before editing attached files, you must download them to your computer.
For help downloading files, see the Web browser documentation.
