About Attachments

You can attach files to messages. This help topic explains how you can work with attachments.

Attaching Files

Use Attach File to send one or more files to other users. You can attach a file that exists on your hard disk, diskette, or network drive. The recipients can open the attached file, save it, view it, or print it. If you change the attached file after you have sent it, the recipients do not see the changes.

If you attach a file that is password-protected, the recipient cannot open or view the attachment without the password.

Opening Attachments

When you open an attached file by double-clicking it, GroupWise® determines the correct application to open the file in. You can accept the suggested application, or you can type the path and filename for another application.

Viewing Attachments

When you click an attached file, a viewer displays the attachment in the message pane. This is usually faster than opening the attachment; however, the attachment might not be formatted properly. If the attachment type is not supported, you receive an error.
