* Go to the {{DataPrompt|Media}} tab.
* Find the file in the list.
* Press the {{Button|Email}} button.
* This will bring up the {{DataPrompt|Send Email}} window from which you can enter email address, subject and message etc.
* From here you can preview the attached file and amend the name as it will appear in the email if required, via the Attachments button.
* Press {{Button|Send}} to send the email.

=== To email multiple files ===
Alternatively you can select and attach multiple files from various media sources:

* On the {{Menu|Available}} side select from the drop-down box of sources of media that might be available at that point within Platinum.
* Press the {{Button|Add >}} button for any file(s) you would like to attach to the email. These will be shown in the list on the right.
