How to Add an Attachment in Lotus Notes
When you want to share a file with someone, send it in an email message as an attachment. Lotus Notes makes it easy to attach a file to a message. When you're working at home, you can even send an attachment to yourself so the file is waiting in your inbox when you get to work the next day.

Open the message that needs the attachment. Place your cursor in the location within the message where you want the attachment to be located. Once attached, a small icon will appear in that location to represent the file.

Select the "File" menu at the top of the screen and choose "Attach." An option allows the file to be compressed to make it smaller, if needed. The average user will send the file in its regular format.

Browse for the file that you want to attach to your Lotus Notes message. You must select both the drive and directory to find your file and multiple documents can be selected by holding down the "CTRL" key. Once you've picked your document, press "Create."

Proof your message and select "Send." Your message with its attached document is on its way to the recipient. Viewing your sent file folder, you will see a small paperclip next to messages that contain an attachment.

This is fine and simple. But I am lloking for something else! As in Outlook, I can attach an item (another mail) as a mail attachment. How can I do the same (attach another mail item from my Inbox or Sent box) to a mail and send it? Any answers? Thanks and regards, Sandeep K
