Introduction to E-Mail

The reasons why many people buy a computer is e-mail. Email is quite easy to deal with as well. You use a program called Outlook or Eudora to send and receive e-mail. There are other programs, and, if you are on AOL, it is all self-contained. Most people figure out how to use email pretty well, but I find that many beginners have the most problems when dealing with attachments. Attachments are files that people send over e-mail so that other people can check them out. People often send programs, pictures, videos, spreadsheets, etc. over e-mail. The problem usually occur when you receive an attachment. Many beginners have problems opening attachments. The rule is that you must have a program on your computer that is capable of dealing with the file you have been sent. If the file has the extension of GIF, JPG, TIF, etc., it is a picture file. Windows usually comes with an image program, and if not, you can download whatever you want over the internet. If the file has an EXE extension, it is a program. Unless you know who it is that sent you the file, I would recommend using a virus scanner to scan the file for virus's before even thinking about opening it. Better yet, if you're not sure what it is, don't open it at all. Just delete it. More on this later. If it is a ZIP file, you will need a program like WINZIP to uncompress the file. Once you have unzipped it, you can use it.

To send an attachment, compose the email and then, before sending it, hit the Attachment button in your mail program, usually a button looking like a paper clip. A dialog box will pop up that will show the drives and directories on your computer. Just navigate yourself over to the place where the file you want to send is, select it, and hit OK and then Send the message.
