By the end of this topic, you will have learned how to attach an Outlook item and various external file types to an email.

Attaching an Outlook item

At times, it might be required of you to attach another email message, task, calendar item, or contact to a message you are sending. Here is the quickest way to attach multiple items of this nature:
