Gmail Tip of the Day - Searching for an Attachment

If you are searching for a particular email that has an attachment, add to your search string "has: attachment" so that only emails with attachments will be displayed. You can then search for mails that have specific filetypes as attachments, like this: "has:attachment filename:doc" or "has:attachment filename:pdf."

Of course, with Gmail's storage limitation, you may not be able to store too many emails with attachments. Let's hope they increase the limitation in 2011 to catch up to their competition.
