  # Type the filename in the **Attachment** field, or press the  
**Browse** button to use a dialog box to choose the file to attach.
  # Press the **Attach** button to attach the selected file. This may  
take a moment as the file is copied from your computer to the server  
on which you access IMP (In **[IMP 4.1]** it is no longer necessary to  
click the Attach button.)

  Please note that for large files and/or slower Internet connections,  
the process of uploading and attaching your file to the email may take  
a while. Please be patient and do not click on other things while you

++++ How do I forward an email including its attachments?
+''(The following answer concerns Horde 5, IMP 6.2.)''
+The plain "Forward" button results in the text of the email being  
forwarded along with some header information, but without attachments.  
In order to forward attachments, there are different options, which  
you can reach by clicking the downward-pointing triangle next to the  
plain "Forward" button.
+* "As Attachment": the whole original email including its attachments  
is packaged into a file named "Forwarded Message". Many email clients  
(including Horde IMP and Gmail) automatically extract the attachments  
from that file.
+* "Attachment and Body Text": the attachment is the same as in "As  
Attachment". Additionally, the body text and some header information  
of the original email are included in the body text of the new email.
+* "Edit as New": The attached files of the original email are  
attached individually to the new email. The body text of the original  
email is copied to the body text of the new email.
+
+The "Edit as New" behavior of Horde IMP most closely resembles the  
"Forward" behavior of other email clients (like Outlook, Thuderbird,  
or Gmail), with the difference that IMP "Edit as New" does not include  
the header information of the original email. The rationale behind  
this behavior of IMP is that forwarding is considered as sending the  
''unchanged'' original message to a new recipient.

  +++ How can I view a message's full headers?
  To see the entire message header, click the **Message Source** link  
in the **Parts** section of the message view. This will show you the  
raw mail message in the mailbox, including full headers and any  
attachments in encoded form.
