Hi Julie,

Extensions are the characters (usually three or four letters, such as .doc,
..txt, or .html) that follow the period at the end of a file name. Extensions
are associated with a particular type of file. The file type identifies the
program, such as Microsoft Word, that is used to open the file.

What is the extension of the attachments you can open and the extension of
the ones you cannot?.

Ken
