As far as I know you can't at least not a direct, local upload from your computer, etc. You can, if the file is resident on another site (e.g. Photobucket, etc.). You then include a link to it in your message.

I've done it the same way I put it in a regular post: upload to Photobucket: copy the "IMG..." link: paste into the PM.

He's asking if he can attach a "file", not sure what type?

Nope, but you could always put it on a service such as Dropbox and send a download link.

Oops, not my bad maybe. HE references a "pic" in the subject line.

HE says a "file" in the body of the post.

Jpeg is typically a photo and is attached to a PM the same as a post on a thread.

A zip file....don't think so???

No facility to upload and attach a photo to a P.M. (from your system)  that I can see.
