  Including a File in a Message

  Choose Include File...  from the Create-Send window's File
  menu to insert an existing file into the message you are
  creating.

  If it is a text file, you can edit it.  If the file does not contain
  text, such as a DDIF file, you cannot edit the file in Mail or
  add any other text to the message.  To include a nontext file
  in a message, use File (no editor)...

  To include a text file in a mail message:

  1.  Choose Include File...  from the File menu.
      Mail displays a dialog box.

  2.  Type the name of the file you want to include in the
      Selection entry box and click on OK.

      Mail opens a Create-Send window and displays the
      contents of the file.

  3.  Enter the address information and edit the file.

  4.  Click on the Send button to send the file.
