Note

Sometimes Windows users will send email attachments that you can’t open on a Mac—or even other Windows machines if they don’t have the right software. A .exe file is a Windows application, for instance. A .ppt file is a PowerPoint presentation file. A .doc file is a Word document, which you should be able to open in TextEdit.

You can also Ctrl-click on the attachment in either place to get more options, such as saving it or viewing it in the Finder’s Quick View window.

Note

Although this is much more of a problem on Windows, you may want to be careful when opening attachments. Never open an attachment in an email from someone you don’t know. And even if you do know the person who sent it, use proper judgment. Some viruses (on Windows, of course) can actually send email from a computer without the owner’s knowledge. So that funny Word document from Uncle Joe might just be a malicious file that Uncle Joe didn’t even know he sent.
