Some of the messages that you receive will certainly contain attachments. You can open attachments directly from the received email, or you can choose to save the attachments before opening.

Preview Message

In the Inbox, select a message that has a file attachment.

Open Attachment

To open the attachment in an NLD application such as OpenOffice.org, select the drop-down arrow to the right of the attachment icon (at the bottom of the Preview pane). Select the application that you want to open the attachment in. The file opens in the application in a new window.

Open Save As Dialog

If you would rather save the file for later consideration (instead of opening it immediately), select the drop-down arrow to the right of the attachment icon. Then select Save As.

Save Attachment

In the Save As dialog box browse for a folder to save the file in. You can change the filename if needed. Then select Save. The file is saved to the selected folder.

Tip

To browse for other folders in the Save As dialog box, select the Browse for Other Folders link.
