1.1) What is an attachment??
Many people like to send files such as videoclips or pictures as attachments to their Emails. The contents of these files cannot be incorporated in the e-mail message because they contain control codes that only your computer can read. They must be sent as attachments. Electronic mail packages use protocols to encode (send) and decode (receive) these binary files.
It is easy to both send and save to disk attachments in Windows or Mac-based software such as Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Mail and others, because of the graphical interface.
