Abstract: The size of attachments to an electronic message are examined before the message is sent to determine if the attachments exceed a size threshold. When the size of the attachments exceed the threshold, one or more of the attachments are uploaded to a shared location that is accessible to the recipients of the message. A link replaces each attachment that was uploaded to the shared location. Permissions are automatically set at the shared location such that each of the recipients of the message are able to access the uploaded attachment.

Abstract: Link information is presented near a link within an electronic message that describes activity information relating to the linked content. The link information may include many different type of information. For example, the link information may include editing information for the linked content (e.g. editors, editing time, number of edits), who has/has not reviewed the linked content, linked content information (e.g. summary, permissions, type of content, update times) and the like. The linked content may be a link to any type of content, such as word processing documents, spreadsheets, slides, websites and the like. Viewing the link information for the linked content provides a user with an indication of the activity regarding the linked content.

Abstract: A user receiving an electronic message is presented with linked content within an attachment area of the message for easier access than having to locate the link within the body of the message. Links to content that are placed within the body of a message are automatically detected and displayed as an attachment. When a user views the message, the linked content remains in view when scrolling the body of the message. The links may be to any type of content, such as word processing documents, spreadsheets, slides, websites and the like. The linked content may also be automatically downloaded such that the content is available offline.

Abstract: An option is presented with an electronic message to automatically upload and permission an attachment to the electronic message. A single click may be received to upload the attachment to a shared location (e.g. network share, online service, and the like). Permissions may be automatically set for the message recipients of the electronic message. For example, a default set of permissions and/or custom permissions may be set for each of the recipients listed on the To:/Cc:/Bcc: lines. A link to the shared location may also be automatically inserted into the electronic message along with or in place of the attachment.

Abstract: A user may select an attachment for an electronic message from a most recently used (MRU) list of files. For example, when a user is composing an electronic message, they may select a file to attach to the message from the MRU list. The recently used files that are included within the MRU list may be related to or more applications/locations and/or one or more computing devices. For example, the MRU list may include files accessed by one or more different authoring applications and/or files that have recently been accessed/created that are associated with the user.
