How do you save the attachment?
Also, how do you expand with VO?
Thanks, Olivia

Hi Olivia,
You asked: How do I go about opening attachments in mail?
Pressing enter and space on the save popup button just takes me
back to the messages in my inbox.
TK: There are a number of ways to do this. first, if you're
reading the message and come upon the attachment, simply press VO-
space while VO is focused on that item in the message and the
attachment will be opened in the default app for that attachment.
If you're using the Save method, make sure you take note of where it
is being saved, such as the Desktop or your Documents folder of your
Home directory. After it is saved in your specified location, you
will be taken back to your messages within Mail. That is normal in
any Mail app that I've used both mac and Windows. Now to open the
attachment after it was saved, you'll have to go to the finder, then
navigate to the location where you saved it, and then open the file
from there.
Olivia: Also, still figuring out the trick of sending attachments.
TK: When composing a message, simply press cmd-shift-a to bring up
the dialog, use navigation commands to locate the file you wish to
attach then press return. Remember, do not press return until you
have navigated to the actual file/folder you wish to attach. Use VO
expanding or VO-shift-space-space (double-click of mouse) to get
inside folders so that you can attach individual files.
HTH.
Later...
