Attach Files Via Drag-And-Drop in Outlook Express

But there is an even more intuitive and sometimes faster method to create attachments in Outlook Express: drag-and-drop.

To attach a file via drag-and-drop in Outlook Express:

	Now click on the file with the left mouse button.
	Keeping the mouse button pressed, drag it over to the Outlook Express message window.
	Drop the file anywhere over the message creation window by releasing the mouse button.

Outlook Express will automatically add it as an attachment.

You can also use this method to attach more than one file at a time. Simply mark the files you want to add and drag them over to the Outlook Express message to drop them there.
