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
OpenWebMail (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 OpenWebMail 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.
