One of the best things about email is that you aren't just limited
to sending text messages. Email also allows you to send files with
your missives. This means that whether you want to send a photo
of the family living abroad or email a Gobe Productive document
to someone you work with.
Note that you should always check the size of the file that you
are about to send, many ISPs limit the size of attachments their
users can receive (usually one or two megabytes). Not to forget
the friends you have sitting on a dial-up connection, they will
not thank you for sending the monster files attached to a mail!
Start BeMail or Beam from the Deskbar, and compose a new mail as
normal, address it and type out your message. To add a file to your
mail, click on the "Attach" button in the toolbar.
A dialog box will appear, which invites you to locate the file
you wish to attach. Navigate to your file, it this case a file in
/boot/home/documents, and then highlight it with a click
of your mouse. Click on the Open button.
Within a second you'll see the file attached to your message.
Click the Send button to send your mail.
