Two ways:
1) Transfer your file to your server using your favorite protocol, 
Kermit, Zmodem, etc.  Then read it into your message ctrl-R.
2) Initiate a message and move to the body of the message, then initiate 
an ASCII transfer of the file directly from your floppy to the message.  
To do this, you will have to increase your intercharacter and interline 
delays.  I played with this at 10 ms between characters and 500ms between 
lines.  (I use Pibterm.  Alt-p, F, J gets you to the ASCII transfer 
parameter screen.  Can't speek for other programs.)
