2.1.7.1. Saving or Opening Attachments
If you get an email message with an attachment, Evolution can help you save the attachment or open it with the appropriate applications.
Evolution shows a right-arrow icon, the number of attachments, and a Save or Save All button to save all the attachments. Click the right-arrow icon to show the attachment bar.
To open an attachment using another application:
1. Click the down-arrow on the attachment icon or right-click the attachment icon in the attachment bar.
2. Select the application to open the attachment.
3. Click OK.
The options available for an attachment vary depending on the type of attachment and the applications your system has installed. For example, attached word processor files can be opened in OpenOffice.org or another word processor, and compressed archive files can be opened in the File Roller application.
