Hi Ian, thank you so much for the solution. Actually, I can even click share on my file and then choose email and attach the file that way. All these ways work just fine. The reason I liked the old way with the tool bar in the actual email was because I could hit reply to somebody and then expand the toolbar and attach the file. Having said that since apple screwed up once again the copy paste feature that you suggested should work just fine, thank you so much for this option. Regards, zoe. God the Father chose Her, God the Son dwellt in Her, God the Spirit overshadowed Her. Most Holy Theotokos Mother of God, intercede on our behalf.
