Receiving an attachment using Netscape Messenger 4.0 or 4.5 If you receive an attachment from someone else, you will see a little paperclip next to the sender's name in your Inbox after you open the message. Click on the hyperlink, which is the name of the attachment. If the file is not opened automatically, you should be asked to open or save the attachment. Click Save As and choose a folder to store it in. View the file using the program that was used to create it or one that can read that file type.
Digital files come in a variety of formats.
Some offices use Microsoft Word, some use WordPerfect. To avoid incompatibility problems, verify in advance whether the sender and recipient are using the same software to create and read the file.
