# Manage Attachments

This dialog allows you add and remove files for attachments as well as reorder them and change their MIME type and encoding format.

Add Files
To Add Files, click on the "Add Files..." button. You can select one or more files in the "Select File(s) to Attach" file dialog. If the files have not already been added, the will appear in the List of Attachments.

Remove Files
Click on the Remove button to remove the selected files from the List of Attachments.

List of Attachments
The List of Attachments shows you the name, MIME Type and encoding for each file. You can reorder the attachments by clicking on a filename or a selection of files and dragging them up or down the list.

Select multiple items using the shift and control buttons.

To change the encoding for the file, click on the Encoding column. A list will popup allowing you to select the desired encoding. If you have multiple list items selected, the encoding change will apply to all selected items. It is recommended that you do not use "None" as an encoding type as you could inadvertently send a binary file with no encoding, making the post useless to those receiving it. Each file must use the same encoding or None in order to be posted. See Encoding Concepts.

Change the MIME type used with MIME messages by clicking on the MIME type column. MIME is always used when selecting BASE64 encoding, never used with yEnc and option with other encoding. For email, MIME is recommended.

You can use Windows Drag&Drop to add files to the List of Attachments.

Default Encoding Type
Change the default encoding type for all new files added to the list (as we as your attachment preferences)

Create Individual posts for each attachment (recommended)
Same preference as seen in the Attachment Preferences dialog. When attaching many files, or large files this item should be checked. Note: yEnc encoded files are always posted as if this item was checked. Most decoding software does not work well with multifile multipart yEnc posts, so it defaults to ON.
