Your Email Message Attachements

You can send more than simple text in your email messages. You can also attach computer documents—including word-processor, spreadsheet, graphic, and video files—to an email message. So email is a useful way to share files that more than one person wants or needs. With Microsoft Outlook 2002, email gets even more sophisticated and easier. Outlook 2002 allows you to send messages on hypertext markup language (HTML) "stationery," which contains background graphics and special pre-selected font designs and colors to match. You can send email directly from any application found in Microsoft Office 2002. Special notes The person who receives your email with an attachment can open the attachment if he or she has the program in which the attachment was created. If the recipient does not have the program you used to create your attachment, he or she may be able to get the appropriate viewer such as Microsoft Word viewer or Microsoft PowerPoint® viewer. A viewer contains the components of a program needed to display a file created with the full version of the program. To send an attachment, your email client converts the attachment's digital code into ASCII text, using a format such as UUENCODE or MIME. In order for the recipient to read the attachment, the recipient's email client must be able to decode this format, or he or she must have another program that can decode it.
