Task 10: Sending and Receiving Attachments

Name: _______________________ Instructor: __________________ Section: ________

Objectives

In this task you will learn to:

  • Send and receive file attachments

Instructions

Detach the Word document from the email message your teacher has sent you. Read the attachment and complete the task. When you are finished, write a formal email message to your teacher saying that you have completed the task. Attach the Word document you have created to the email message.

Detaching an email attachment

  1. In the iNotes welcome menu, click on Mail.
  2. When the Mail menu opens, double click on the message with an attachment that you would like to detach.
  3. If you would like to save the file without opening it, click on the icon that looks like a floppy disk. When the Browse for Folder dialogue box appears, navigate to the folder you want to save the attachment in (for example, a folder on your network partition).
  4. If you want to open the attachment directly within iNotes, you can double click on the attachment icon. The appropriate application will open and then the file will open. To save it, choose File and then Save As . . . Navigate to the folder you want to save the attachment in (for example, a folder on your network partition).

Attaching a file to an email message

  1. In the iNotes welcome menu, click on Mail.
  2. When the mail menu opens, click on "New" and then "Message".
  3. When the New Message window opens, remember that you must include a complete email message even if you are sending an attachment. This means a subject line, saluation, message (usually indicating what the attached file is for), closing and signature.
  4. At the bottom of the New Message window there is a dialogue box that allows you to attach files. Click on the icon that looks like a folder. This will allow you to navigate to the file that you want to attach and send.
  5. Find the file you want to attach and select it. Then click on Open and the file icon and file name will appear in the window. This file will now be sent when you send the email message.
