After you have your .eml file saved, go to your file cabinet.  Make a folder for .eml message files or something like that (the reason being you want to know the location because as your community grows, you will need to delete some content.  When you no longer need the message and delete it, you might also want to delete the .eml file.  It is just good housekeeping and you also need to consider the 30mb limit we get on our passports).  Upload your file into that folder and then when it is uploaded, click on it to open it in a window.  Copy the URL (in the address bar, highlight the url and copy it).  Now, in your message board, start a new discussion, and insert the url as a link (click on the  icon in the toolbar.  I also made a tutorial on hyperlinks).  Easy, huh?
 
One thing, the eml files can get large.  You can cut down on the size by reducing the graphics and using compresssed sound files.  I like to tile a gif for a background.   Also, when you first upload a file, it is hard to open at first.  It is almost like it needs some time to settle in.  I usually upload it, then come back to it a little later.  Seems crazy.
