WinMail is not coupled to Office the way Outlook is. Save the file to disk.
Then open WinMail and compose the message and then either drag the file from
Explorer overtop the message and drop it to attach it, or use Insert | File
| Attachment or use Outlook and set it as the default mail program. WinMail
is not part of Office, so it doesn't have the level of intercommunicability
that Office programs have with each other.
