4. Click the word Files in the File Picker’s top-left
corner and then choose which library to receive
the incoming file: Documents, Pictures, Music,
or Videos.
Saving the file inside one of your four libraries is
the easiest way to ensure you’ll find it later.
5. Click the Save button in the File Picker’s bottom-
right corner.
The Mail app saves the file in the library of your
choosing.
After you’ve saved the file, the Mail app returns to
the screen. And, if you notice, the attachment still
remains inside the e-mail. That’s because saving
attachments always saves a copy of the sent file.
That’s handy because, if you accidentally delete your
saved file, you can return to the original e-mail and
save the file yet again.
The built-in virus checker in Windows 8, Windows
Defender, automatically scans your incoming e-mail
for any evil file attachments.
Sending a file as an attachment
Sending a file through the Mail app works much like
saving an attached file, although in reverse: Instead
of grabbing a file from an e-mail and saving it into a
folder or library, you’re grabbing a file from a folder
or library and saving it in an e-mail.
To send a file as an attachment in the Mail app, follow
these steps:
1. Open the Mail app and click the plus sign to
create a new e-mail, as described earlier in
this chapter’s “Composing and sending an
e-mail” section.
