Reading a Message with an Attachment
The Web Messaging Option lets you receive a message with an attached file and open and
read the attachment. The message will display the attached file as a link. You can click
the link to open it in the browser window, or right–click to display the pop–up
menu. You can use your browser’s Save As function to save the attachment as a file.

the file using an e–mail system. The Web Messaging Option will decode the message
(convert it back to binary) so you can read it in its original form.
