Open Webmail Help Tutorials >> Adding Attachments
You may also want to add an Attachment to your e-mail. An attachment is a file that you send with your e-mail if it cannot be viewed within the e-mail text. This allows the receiver of the e-mail to retrieve the file for viewing in a different application, other than Open Webmail (or whatever e-mail client they may use). However, the receiver must have a proper application for viewing the file. Attachments can be useful for sending e-mails with text in which you want to retain the formatting. DOC is popular format (Microsoft Word Document or Windows WordPad Document), as well as RTF (Rich Text Format). You can also send images for them to open. Again, be sure that this person has a proper viewing application for the file you are sending them, or they will not be able to open it for viewing. In Open Webmail there are three ways to add an attachment to your message. This depends on where the attachment originally is stored: Local disk on your PC. OWM's Webdisk* A web page on the Internet. To add an attachment from your Local disk, click "Browse", by the attachment box. This will open up a dialogue box that allows you to choose a file to attach to your e-mail. Use this dialogue box to locate the file you wish to attach to your e-mail message. Once you have selected the file you wish to attach, click "Open", and then click "Add". Note that the file is only attached after you click the "Add" button. You can perform these actions again to attach another file. If you accidentally attached a file by mistake, click [Del] by the file you wish to delete. To add an attachment from your Webdisk, click the webdisk icon ( ), by the attachment box. This will open up a new window in your browser that allows you to choose a file to attach to your e-mail. Use your mouse to locate the file you wish to attach to your e-mail message. Once you have selected the file you wish to attach, click "Ok". You can perform these actions again to attach another file. If you accidentally attached a file by mistake, click [Delete] by the file you wish to delete. To add an attachment from a public Web page location on the Internet, click the link icon ( ), by the attachment box. This will open up a new window in your browser that allows you to enter the URL of a file to attach to your e-mail. Then click "OK". Note that you cannot browse the file, you must remember the URL including the filename. You can perform these actions again to attach another file. If you accidentally attached a file by mistake, click [Delete] by the file you wish to delete. Please be patient as your file is attached, because it may require you to wait several seconds, or possibly minutes, depending on the size of the file you are attaching and the speed of your internet connection. * Not every System Administrator has activated this feature in Open Webmail.
