Attaching a document from SkyDrive as to a Windows Phone email

OK...

I've never been able to do this. Here are the steps:

• Open a new outgoing email on my Windows phone
• Choose the paperclip "Attach" icon
• This opens up a window to "Choose Picture"
• It does not allow me to choose documents from my SkyDrive

I can go into SkyDrive and choose to share a document through email. However:

• this does not allow me to attach multiple documents, and
• it does not allow me to attach a document when I'm responding to another email in an existing thread.

These are real limitations.

Also, PDF documents are treated differently still. They are harder to attach.

I should be able to attach any document originating from an email.

Thanks. I hope that helps.
