5. Attach a file, if you like.

On the Insert tab, the Files button opens the standard Open File

dialog box. Tap the file you want to send, and then choose Open.
You return to your message in progress, with the files neatly
inserted as icons.

Here on the Insert tab, you can also insert a Table; a toolbar
appears, with controls to format and adjust its rows and columns.

There’s a Pictures button, too; choose a photo from your computer

to insert into the message, whereupon a formatting toolbar appears
with buttons for Rotate, Crop, Size, and so on. (Drag the round
white dots to resize the photo, or the top center icon to rotate it.)

Finally, there’s a Link button, which lets you insert a link to a web
address.

Tip
A visit to the Options tab is an optional step. Here you can establish a Priority setting
for the messages you’re about to send; in Mail, you have only two choices—High (!)
and Low (↓) importance. The good part about this system is that it lets your recipient
see that an email you’ve sent is, for example, urgent. The bad part is that not every
email program displays the priority of email (and even if your recipient’s email
program does display your message’s priority, there’s no guarantee it’ll make him
respond any faster).

The Options tab also includes an option to check your spelling and to hide any
proofing marks that may have wound up in your message (for example if it was copied
in from Word).

6. To send the message, hit Send, or press Ctrl+Enter. Or hit
Discard to back out of it.

If you choose Discard, the message lands in your Drafts folder.
Later, you can open the Drafts folder, tap the aborted message,
finish it up, and send it. (Or delete it from there; Mail doesn’t care.)
