Subject: attachment ? for MacLC

I'd like to know if I can put a disk in my Mac and attach a file from the
disk to a mail message. If it is possible, how is it done? I need to send
something to a colleague and it is on another computer. We would both
prefer to not have to retype the file. It is quite long. Thanks for any
help you can give. Sandi

I have the ability to learn from my mistakes.
I expect to learn a great deal today.

Internet standards are published what called "Draft" Request For Comments
(or RFC).  The principle RFC that describes internet mail headers is
RFC822, although this has been supplemented by later RFCs describing
MIME and other extensioins, everything is based on RFC822.

The actual set of headers is not really fixed.  A particular program
can support headers which are not in the standard.  For example, some
anonymous remailers support various headers like X-Anon-To:.  Well
behaved non-standard headers begin "X-" (as specified in RFC822),
but some systems use badly behaved non-standard headers.

You should be able to find the RFCs at a good internet archive near
you.
