Attach a document to a message in Mail by dragging its proxy icon
I'm not one of those folks who likes to say, "this is something you should have known, and doesn't belong in a hint", though, in this case, the method you describe [dragging an icon from a title bar] is fairly old-school. It's a tip that's sure to help many Mac users who never realized they could drag an icon from a title bar in order to, for examples: copy a file, attach a file to a Mail message, or open a file in another app. I take it for granted that I can drag an icon from Preview's title bar down to the Photoshop icon in the dock, and Photoshop will open that image.

No matter how you add an attachment to Mail, it will not record changes made afterwards. Mail adds it to the actual message - it does not simply store a pointer to the original file.

Entourage on the other hand does not do the attaching and encoding until you save the email (or save it by sending it). I use this all the time to reply to an email with a Word document that needs comments. Just double click on the attachment to open it and then add some comments to the document and then drag it back to my reply email. If as I am writing the email part I realize I need to make one additional change to the Word document before I send the reply I can do so without having to remove and reattach the file. |
