[DM-MUG] easy way to send big files via email/a simple question...

[Geoffrey Stevens]

Hey Bailey,
That is all very interesting, big files need big ideas.
Maybe someone can help with a basic problem that I have had trouble getting my mind around.
How do I make a link to a file when I am writing an email message?
In other words - I want to put in the body of the text I am righting a link to an address or file on the web so my reader of my message can click on it, instead of copying the web address and pasting it in the address box at the top of their browser?
Thank you,
Geoff
