FileLink

If I send a message and use file link, do I just send the message as usual and how does the person on the other end get the document I sent.

Chosen solution

Yes, you click Send just like a normal email

When your recipients receive the message, they will see the same information and clicking the link in the message will take them to a page where they can download the attachment. The message looks like:

"I've attached a file to this message using Thunderbird Filelink: [Name of your file] (15.5 MB) [Link to download the file]"
