By now, you should have a pretty good idea of e-mail basics. Many people find that e-mail enhances their communication with others. It deepens relationships and results in more frequent phone calls, letters and meetings. They find groups who share an interest and have the opportunity to join conversations and even organize events.
Electronic mail can be much more than sharing simple text messages.
You can cut and paste material into messages from other sources. You can also attach computer files. The files might be extended documents created in your word-processing program, pictures, programs or any other type of file that resides on your computer. Once you understand the basics, you can explore more complex attachments on your own with the help of your e-mail software manual.
