Add or remove attachments

To add an attachment in webmail:

1. While composing an email, select the paperclip icon next to the Send button.
2. From the selection window, browse to select the file you want to attach.
3. Select the file you want to attach and select Open. To attach multiple files at once, hold down the Ctrl key as you select the files.
4. Check the bottom of your message for an image or icon of each file you attached.
5. Select Send when you’re finished with your message.

Want to remove an attachment? Hover over the attachment and select the black X. To remove all attachments, select Remove All.

Add inline images

To insert an image directly into the body of an email message:

1. On your computer, find the image or animated GIF you want to add.
2. Select the location in the message where you want to place the image.
3. Drag and drop the image file into the email. The image is now part of the body of your email, not just an attached file.

Here’s what to know about using inline images:

• Image sizes are optimized for inline display. Want to send the image in its original size? Send it as an attachment instead.
• The Photos folder under Views includes all the images you’ve sent or received in your AT&T Mail account.
• Depending on your browser, you may be able to copy and paste images instead of dragging and dropping them.

Download an attachment

Here’s how:

1. Open the email.
2. Select the attachment and then choose Save or Download (depending on your email program or browser) to save it to your device.

While browsing your email on currently.com, you can also see your attachments before downloading them by selecting Show Images.
