When you get a new message with an attachment you will see a paper clip icon next to that message’s subject line in your mailbox.

#

You can open the message and use the appropriate menu option or shortcut to save the attached file(s) to your hard drive. In Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express, right-click on the attachment, select Save As, and then type a file name and specify the location where you want to save the attachment.

#

You can also select File, Save Attachments to save all the attached files to your hard drive.

#

In Thunderbird, this option is under File, Attachments. Thunderbird allows you to save all attachments sent with a message or an individual file. To save all attachments sent with a message, choose File, Attachments, Save All.

#

To save an individual message, choose File, Attachments, the file they want to save, and Save As.

#

As with Outlook, you can also right-click on the file in the Attachments field at the bottom of the message window and select Save As.
