email attachment

File you include

An email attachment is a file sent along with an email message—a document, image, spreadsheet, or other digital file that travels with the email rather than appearing in its body.

The recipient can download and open the attachment separately: I'll send the contract as an email attachment.

Large attachments may be blocked or compressed by email servers.
