Zip Outlook Attachments before sending

You can use EZDetach to zip attachments before sending an email.

This is done using the Zip Attachments Window. To open this window, click Zip in the Outlook’s Compose New Email window (Message tab). (You must open the message in a separate window - the button is not available in the inline reply pane).

Let’s say you are composing an email with a number of attachments. You would like to ZIP the attachments before sending them.
