In such a case, you will want to send an attached file in order that your format be preserved. Sometimes, too, extremely long documents will not fit comfortably into the body of an email, and must be sent as attachments. This would be true if you were sending a fifteen-page manuscript. Rich text format files can be opened almost universally, and they retain all of the formatting characteristics of your original document. Be sure that your name appears in the attachment file as well as in your email message.
Most people save attachment files in directories separate from their email.
If your name doesn't appear on your attachment file, neither your classmates nor I will be able acknowledge or respond to your work.
