3. Log on to the e-mail application. The message-addressing dialog box,
which is different for each e-mail application, appears.
The PaperPort software creates a file and attaches the item to the
e-mail message. The PaperPort filenames start with Mail, followed by
the item number and the extension.max—for example, Mail3.max.
4. Fill in the message information and send the message as you usually do.
DISPLAYING E-MAIL MESSAGES SENT FROM PAPERPORT
When you receive an e-mail message with an attached PaperPort item,
you can display the attached item in different ways, depending on your
e-mail software:
• With some e-mail applications, such as Lotus cc:Mail, you can
double-click the attachment to display it. Otherwise, depending on the
e-mail settings, use Shift–double-click to automatically run the
PaperPort application and display the attachment.
• Save the attached file by using the e-mail Save command. Then, open
the attachment using the PaperPort software to display it.
The PaperPort software gives the filename Mailn.max to all attached
items. You should immediately save all attached items with a different
name.
If the attached item was saved in PaperPort for Windows or PaperPort
Viewer for Windows, you must first define the following file mapping in
the e-mail software before you can double-click the attachment:
• Extension—MAX
• Type—MAXD
• Creator code—MAXm (for PaperPort) Max! (for PaperPort Viewer)
In Lotus cc:Mail, define the file mapping by using the Preferences menu.
For more information about file mapping, see the e-mail application’s
user guide.
