7.7. Working with Attachments

A little paperclip icon lets you know that an e-mail has a file attached. You can open several types of files you receive in e-mail, including pictures, audio, videos, and documents. But—and this is an important caveat—you can send only two types of attachments from your phone: pictures and Microsoft Office documents. A file needs to be stored on your phone before you can attach it. So if you see a Facebook photo in the Pictures hub that you want to send to somebody, you need to save it to your phone first.

7.7.1. Attach a Picture

On the Start screen, tap an e-mail account.
Tap New.
Fill in the sender and subject information, and then write your message.
Tap Attach.
Do one of the following:
- Tap to open a folder, and then tap the picture you want to attach.
- Tap Camera to take a new picture. If you like the result, tap Accept to attach it.
Tap Send.
