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.
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.
Tip:
You can also send pictures from
the Pictures hub by pressing and holding a picture, tapping Share, and
then tapping the account you want to send your e-mail from.
2. Open an Attachment
In an e-mail with an attachment, tap the file name to download it.
When the file has finished downloading, you’ll see the icon change to indicate what type of attachment it is. Tap it to open.
Tip:
To remove an attachment from an e-mail, tap Remove just below the attached file, and then tap Yes.
