You have to have a non web mail account to do this, but many mail programs can be configured as a pop account so you can use your mail program, Outlook Express or Mail.
If you do have this type of mail program, you can easily send your work right from the program. In Open Office, you would go to File>Send>Document as email. In Microsoft, you go to File>Send To> Mail as attachment.
I find this much easier than trying to later find the exact document I was working on. Quick and easy.
