When you send an attachment this way, Microsoft adds a default body as you describe and also a subject like "Emailing: <filename> You can both change the subject and the body of the message to your liking, and you can also add more attachments in one of the following ways:

  • Drag & drop them to the attachment bucket (top tight corner of the compose window);
  • Right click the attachment bucket and select Attach file(s);
  • Click the Attachment icon (paperclip) and choose File(s);
  • Choose from the menu File > Attachment > File(s) (Ctrl+Shift+A).
