What is an "attachment"?

An attachment in an email is a file that is sent along with the email message. It can include various types of files, such as documents, images, videos, or presentations, and is used to share information that cannot be written directly in the email. The recipient can download or view the attachment depending on the file type and their device. Attachments are commonly used for sharing detailed information, work files, or personal content in a convenient and direct way.
