Using SCO Shell Mail

Attaching a file to a message

You can attach a file or a clipboard item to an outgoing message. The attachment retains its original file format. This means the recipient can load it back into the application that created it. This enables you to send spreadsheets and graphics through the mail. The attachment is transmitted with the message, but is not part of it. You can only have one attachment per message.

You cannot attach a mail message to another mail message, unless you copy the second message to the clipboard and attach it as a clipboard item. It is easier to include the message instead.

To attach a file or clipboard item to your message, press <Esc> and select Attach from the Create menu.

You can remove the attachment or substitute a different one at any time before you deliver the message, by blanking out or changing the ``Attachment Name'' and ``Attachment Type''.
