Attachment
A file that is attached to an email which enables speedy
delivery of both the email and whatever is in the
attachment. Sending items as an attachment
may be especially useful for larger files, such as a multimedia
file, photographs, or data.
Note: Attachments are a
favoured means of spreading viruses and other malicious
programs
to unsuspecting recipients.
Many companies and wise Internet users will
not open a letter or an attachment
unless they can identify, know, and completely trust the
sender. We advise you to do the same.
