Attaching files to messages
To attach a file to a message:
1 Choose File > Attach with the message open.
 ShortcutYou can drag files to the message header to attach them. This is the only way to attach FirstClass objects. If you drag files, skip the remaining steps; file transfer begins immediately. You can also drag an attachment from an existing message or a file that was uploaded directly to the server.
2 Select the file you want to attach.
You can select multiple files.
After a file is transferred, it is displayed in the "Attachments" field of your message. To remove an attachment, select it, then press Delete.
Previewing attached files
FirstClass lets you preview an attached file before you download it. To do this, select the attachment, then choose File > View File. The file opens in a viewer window.
ShortcutDouble-click the attachment.
Working with previews
In the viewer window, you can control how the file is displayed, and print and save the file, as described in Embedding pictures in content. For example, you can properly orient a fax that is upside down by rotating it.
To move from page to page of a multipage fax, click Next Page or Previous Page.
Attaching recordings to messages
If your computer is connected to a microphone, you can use FirstClass to record a spoken message, or any other sound, and attach this recording to a message as a .wav file.
NoteYou can also attach existing .wav files, as well as AIFF and MP3 files. In addition, you can embed recordings in content.
To use your microphone to attach a recording to a message:
1 Choose Edit > Insert > Insert Voice with the message open.

3 Use your microphone to record your message or sound.
4 Click Stop Recording when you are finished recording.
A .wav file attachment is added to the message header.
To review the recording, click Play. You can adjust the volume using the volume control button.
To change the recording, delete the .wav attachment and click Record again.
Downloading attached files
You can only download attached files using the method described here, not attached FirstClass objects such as documents.
To download an attached file:
