2. Locate the item or folder that you want to attach, select it, and then click Choose.

   If you are attaching a folder, on the confirmation dialog box, click Compress.

   • A list of the attachments to the message appears below the Subject box.

   • To remove an attachment from a message, hold down CONTROL and click the attachment, and then click Remove.

   • You can also add attachments by dragging a file or folder from the desktop or Finder into the body of the message.
