1.) I work on this text file at home.

2.) Wanting to work on it elsewhere, I email it to myself.

3.) Given the nature of the email program that received it,
I had to copy and paste it in to Notepad to work on it. I
finished what I wanted to, saved it, and then sent it back
to myself.

4.) At home, I open it up. I do this on Microsoft Outlook
XP. I read the message in the preview pane, and
double-click the file's icon right above it.

5.) I edit the file a lot more.

6.) I save the file, simply by pressing CTRL + S.

7.) I close Notepad.

8.) I go to upload it to a website to get an opinion on it,
and I notice that, as far as size goes, little has changed.

9.) I check the file, only to discover that I had
apparently uploaded the wrong one.

10.) I search some, but cannot find the edited file on the
computer.

So, any solutions? Thoughts?
 
In the future:

Step 1: When you are ready to attach a file, first rename the file, changing
the suffix to saomething that Outlook won't strip. Example: if your file was
named "document1.txt" then rename it to "document1.txt.jackson", then email
it.

Step 2. Then, when you "receive" the email, do a File > Save As on the
attachment, renaming it from "document1.txt.jackson" back to
"document1.txt". Work on the file.

When ready to send it back to yourself, repeat the above steps.

Yeah, but what can I do about THIS file?
