How to attach files to e-mail messages in Pipeline

To send files created in other applications (Word, Power Point, Excel, etc.) as attachments to your e-mail messages, use the following procedure.

1. While working in the Compose E-mail window, click the Attach button. You see the Attach Files window.
2. Click the Browse button.
3. In the window that appears, browse your file system to locate the file you want to attach. When you find the file, select it and click Open. (note: If you are using Netscape as your browser, the default file search type is "html." To locate other types of files, use the drop-down to set the "Files of type" box to All Files (*.*) and select the file you need. If you are using Internet Explorer, the default search type is All Files)
4. Once you have selected a file to attach, click the Attach button. You see the filename included in the attachment window and a tally that alerts you to the amount of space the attachment consumes and the attachment limits that have been set for your system.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 above to add other files as attachments to the message.
6. To delete an attachment, select the file that you want to delete from the list of added attachments and click the Remove button.
7. To return to message composition with the attachments that you've selected, click OK. To exit without adding or changing attachments, click Cancel.
