Saving Attachments:

You can easily save attachments other people send you. For example, you can have students send their homework to you as an attachment in a folder for that day's assignments. You can save attachments to your computer or another location on the network. Do NOT open or save an attachment if you do not trust or know the sender - the attachment might have a virus, etc. To save attachments:

1. On the File menu, click Save Attachments.
2. If there was only one attachment in the message, the Save Attachment dialog box opens.

   If there are multiple attachments, the Save All Attachments dialog box opens. To save all of the attachments to the same location, click OK. The Save Attachment dialog box opens.
3. Choose a location in which to save the attachment(s) and click Save.
