Did you know that you can "drag and drop" attachments into email messages?

1. Open a new message.

2. Open Windows Explorer (a.k.a Computer on your desktop).

3. Locate the file you wish to attach.

4. Left click on the file, and while holding down the button drag the file to message area of the email.

5. Release the mouse and in several seconds the attachment will appear with the message.

This can be especially useful if you have a lot of attachments to put on in various locations. It saves on having to repeatedly navigate through the same area. It's also helpful when you may already have Windows Explorer open.
