2. For e-mail messages you may
   • copy and paste (pull down the Edit menu)
     OR
     
   • transfer the file to your home directory using Fetch (Mac) or Ws_ftp (PC) and then attach the file to an e-mail message

2. Activate downloading procedures following the instructions above
3. Do a word search for downloading (//w downloading)
4. Select item number 3 and view the full record
5. Deactivate downloading procedures following the instructions above

Sending attachments on e-mail:
To send an attachment the item you wish to attach should already exist in your Unix home directory. It may be a document that you have created using pico (a unix editor) or one that you have transferred from your desktop (using Fetch or WS_ftp) or a web page.

• Procedures:
  1. Follow the normal Pine procedures to compose (C) a message
  2. Address the message according to Pine procedures
  3. While the cursor is in the header press Control J simultaneously. This will activate the attachment function. The cursor must be in the header of the message to activate the attachment funtion. If the cursor is in the Message Text then Control J functions to justify the text. To move the cursor from the Message Test to the header press Control P to move to the previous line or back up to the header.
  4. A dialog box will appear at the bottom of the screen, just above the menu, asking the question - File to attach?

     OR
     Press Control T simultaneously to view the files in your home directory. Choose the file you wish to attach. Press return.
  6. Another dialog box will appear asking for comments. You may fill in a description of the attachment which will appear within quotation marks, or you may ignore the information requested. Press return.

An example of a message with two attachments appears in the box below. The first has no comment or description, the second has the comment "signs".

You may have multiple attachments. Press Control J simultaneously and add the file name of the next attachment following the same procedures as for the first attachment.

Exercise:

If you save the attachment remember that Unix saves the attachment to the home directory and not in pine or e-mail. If you save the attachment and delete the message the attachment will remain in your home directory unless you use the unix command to remove (rm) the file.

Exercise:

1. Login to your e-mail account.

   REPLY-TO:your e-mail address
   

• Text - Follow the same procedures for viewing the attachment. The attachments cannot be viewed in Pine. Save the attachment to your home directory and/or public_html directory. Exit Pine and view the attachment using pico (i.e. at the % pico and the filename). Keep in mind that web pages sent as attachments are displayed in text form, which is the text file of the document, including the HTML tags.

• Graphics - Graphic images cannot be displayed on pine/e-mail. To view a graphic image follow these instructions:
  1. Type V to view the list of attachments
