Inserting a text file into an e-mail. So you want to put a text file into the e-mail you are about to send - how do you do it? Once you have your new e-mail form on the screen you can insert a text file into it as follows. From the drop-down "Insert" menu, select "Text from File" which will display a new window as shown below.

To locate your text file, you will need to negotiate the computer's directory system by using the little arrow (1) to move to the required drive, and (2) to move up a directory(folder) if necessary. Once you find the correct drive and main directory(folder) you can move through the various sub-folders by using the scroll-bar (3) until you find the one you are looking for, in this case we'll select "Humour" (4).

Once you double-click "Humour" you will see a window like the one on the left. Click the text file you want to use and then click "Open".   Your text will appear in the e-mail. See also INSERTING text in an e-mail by "Cut/Copy & Paste" method.
