If it should happen to be an executable program, or if it is some other file type which has not been set up by MIME.CFG to open upon being clicked on, a dialog box will pop up offering you an option to save it to a file in a suggested directory. You may rename the file at this time or leave the name as it is. Click on save. If the attachment opens upon being clicked on, press F2. The same dialog box offering you an option to save it as a file will pop up. If the attachment is an image file and it opens automatically without clicking, you will find the attachment in the form of a file in a temporary directory, often being a directory set up as C:\ARACHNE\ARACHNE.TMP. > - how do I forward email attachments without saving them first? When you are reading the email containing the attachment that you want to forward, take note of the name of the message file in the address bar. Suppose for example the message file is named C:\ARACHNE\12345678.CNM. Press C for "compose" to invoke your email editor. Fill out the headers and use as the subject line "Fwd: (whatever_you_want_to_name_it)" Then place your cursor at the beginning of the top line in the message body area. Press F3. In the box that pops up enter C:\ARACHNE\12345678.CNM. Press enter. Your entire raw message, with complete headers, will be inserted into the body of your message. Next you will probably want to use the editor to trim the headers and to remove any other superfluous stuff that you do not want to forward. When you are done, click on SEND NOW or SAVE TO OUTBOX. There are others on this list that can advise you of faster and niftier and more efficient ways of doing it, but their act is hard to remember and hard to follow. It is a very good act though. If the audience would applaud and cheer them loud enough and long enough maybe they will come out from behind the curtain and perform an encore.
