Attachments and Email

Opening attachments

When an email has a paperclip symbol in front of the subject line there is something attached to that email.

Open the email that has the paperclip symbol. Click the link that appears next to the paperclip symbol. Click Download Attachment. A window should then appear offering you three choices 1) Open 2) Save or 3) Cancel. If you only wish to view the file click Open. This is often the best option as you can save the file once you have opened it and checked what it is.
