An attachment is a special mail item that is associated with a multipart mail message. One or more attachments may be included in a single mail message. An attachment may contain ASCII text, non-ASCII text, data from a spreadsheet or a word processor, a graphical image, or even audio or video information. You can send attachments to other users and read attachments they send to you, as long as you have the software to create or interpret the content (for example, an appropriate spreadsheet program to read a spreadsheet or an appropriate graphics program to interpret a graphical image). Mail attachments conform to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard.
