transfer email attachments to laptop

Hello;

Is there anyway I can transfer an email attachment (i.e. Word doc) that I received on my iPhone, to my laptop.

I am at a remote work site, so I want to use my iPhone to receive emails, and then transfer the attachments to my laptop so I can work on them......

Is there any way to set up a wireless network, and then just transfer the attachment to the laptop....

I know tethering would work, but I do not have NetShare. I don't want to jailbreak....I am on Rogers in Canada if that makes any difference...

thanks

No, there is not. The various file transfer apps (File Magnet, DataCase, Air Sharing, etc.) transfer files over Wi-Fi, but they store files within the app itself on the iPhone, and the only way to get files there is to transfer them from the computer, so there's no way to get an email attachment into the app on the iPhone (without first having it on your computer).

the only other way i can think of is to email the file to yourself on an account you can check on your laptop.

The OP's point is that the laptop has no internet connectivity in the remote location. The iPhone does, via the cellular network.

The best option in this scenario would be to get broadband plan through Rogers - one where you have a broadband adapter (USB, PCMCIA, ExpressCard, depending on your ports) for the computer, with it's own Rogers data plan.
