How Do I View a File Attached to an Email message?

Convergence can display several types of files attached to your Email messages.

You can download files that you cannot view and open them with an application on your computer. See How Do I Save a File Attached to an Email message? for more information.

By default, Convergence can display TXT, GIF and JPG files. If your browser is installed with a PDF plugin, Convergence can also display PDF files. Depending on how your system is configured, Convergence can also display other types of files. Ask your system administrator which kinds of files can be viewed in Convergence.

To view a file attached to an Email message:

1. Select or open an Email message that has an attachment.

   In two-pane layout, the Email message appears, either in the reading pane or in a new tab.

   In three-pane layout, the Email message appears in a new tab in the message view area.

   Attachments are listed between the subject line and email body.

2. Click the attachment you want to view.

3. From the pop-up menu, select View Attachment.

   Convergence displays the attachment in a new tab.

In the new tab, you can perform the following actions on an attachment you are viewing:

• Click Save to download the file to your computer.
• Click Send to create a blank email with the attachment already attached. The blank email appears in a new Compose tab in the work area. See How Do I Compose and Send a New Email message? for more information about the Compose tab.
• Depending on the type of file, the type of browser you are using, and the type of plugins installed, you may also be able to print the attachment, zoom in and out, view the attachment in fullscreen mode, and search for text in the attachment.
