Quick Email Attachments

I use Yahoo mail and Firefox. I found that I was wasting lots of time navigating through my files to attached a document to an email, especially if I wanted to attach multiple documents that were stored in different folders. Normally, I send off a file after having just worked on it, so I decided to use Smart Folders and Saved Searches in the Select Files dialog box in Firefox.
Here are the steps:
- In a New Mail message in Yahoo click the Attach button.
- In the Select Files dialog, start typing a term in the search field and the Save button will appear in the dialog. For some reason, the Save button doesn’t appear when the dialog is opened.
- Click the Plus button next to Save.
- Select Last Modified in the first pop up and then Today in the second.
- Click Save.
- Name the Search. I call it 'Today.'
- Now, the Today Smart Search will appear under Saved Searches in the Select Files dialog -- no need to type the name of the file in the search field. Just click the saved search and all your recently modified files are together.
