Dennis,
I tried to use these instructions you provided, but had no luck with doing a
file attachment. These instructions look a lot like the steps used to add a
file attachment in the old version of Hotmail, except that there were no
combo boxes to choose the type of file attachment.
I couldn't get this beast to work with JAWS version 7.0, and JAWS kept going
silent on me when I tried to navigate around to find a button, link, or
combo box that was labeled "Attach."
Microsoft has taken a giant step backwards in screen-reader accessibility
with Windows Live Hotmail.
Another list member posted a link to a Hotmail Mobile page that I found to
be very JAWS friendly for reading or sending emails, but it doesn't seem to
have any option for adding attachments. That web page is found at:
mobile.live.com/hm

ok here are the instructions for sending an atachment.
Attach files to e-mail messages
When you send an e-mail with Windows Live Hotmail, you can attach pictures
and other files to your message.
To attach files to e-mail messages:
1. In the left pane, click Mail, and then click New.
2. Click Attach, and then click File.
3. Click Browse.
4. Locate and select the file that you want to attach, and then click Open.
5. To add more files, click Add more files, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. When you've finished adding files, click Attach.
Notes
To remove an attached file, click Remove next to the file name in the
message header.
If you've chosen to save a copy of your sent messages, a copy of the
attachment is saved as well.
Any file that you attach to an outgoing message is automatically scanned
by Trend Micro antivirus software. If a file contains a virus, you won't be
able
to attach it to a message.
Some e-mail programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, can block certain types
of attached files to help protect against viruses. You'll be notified if you
attach a file that others may not be able to open.
For a free Windows Live Hotmail account, the maximum size for an
attachment is 10 MB.
