Email attached file extension ashx instead of doc or docx

The email attachments are Word documents -- doc or docx. When the download box appears the document is labeled as attachment.ashx instead of the document name with the docx ending. Must then browse through the program files to Microsoft office to properly open the file. The original file name is lost.

Hi,
I'm sorry you are having this problem, here is another post about the same problem, where the cause of the problem is described:

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This might help as well.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

When I try to save an email attached file, the file name is automatically convertied to "attachment.ashx" although the correct file type is recognized. How do I retain the original file name?

This problem occurred after the most recent update to firefox 8.0.
After right clicking on the attached file, I click on save link as.
The correct file type is recognized. However the file name is converted to "attachment.ashx".
When I rename the file, it downloads properly and is opened by the appropriate program.
However, I should not have to rename each downloaded file.
In particular, this is happening with Word files and with Scientific Notebook (.tex) files.

Cor-el, thank you for your advice. I was able to navigate to my Profile Folder and I deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file. I then closed Firefox and restarted it. The problem was still there, and I found that the mimeTypes.rdf file had been re-created.
I tried your second suggestion, but the files you mentioned were not present so there was nothing to reset.
Any other suggestions?

How to get email attachment file name?

Hi,
I have a macro that executes when the user sends an email. In this macro, I want to get the subject of the email itself and the titles of all of its attachments (be they documents or other attached emails).
To get the email subject, I use Groupwise.ComposingItem.subject
To get the attachment filename, I use Groupwise.ItemAttachmentGetDisplayName("X00", <attachment_index>)
However, this call only seems to work for document attachments. For other emails attached to the current email, this call returns "Mail Attachment" instead of the name of the attached email. How can I get the name (i.e. subject) of the attached email?
Thank you,
Monika

Email attachment file names

I have a sender mail adapter that picks up emails with file attachments from a mail box using the IMAP transport protocol.
The mail adapter passes processing onto the PayloadSwapBean and then onto a customised module that processes the file attachment (a CSV file).
When I use the messaging system i.e. http://xiserver:port/MessagingSystem/monitor/monitor.jsp
I can see that Content-Type includes the attachment's file name:-
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;name="INV_5016888091848_20060912_00001.csv"
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="MailMessage.bin"
Content-Description: MailMessage
In my customised module I would like to pick up this file name so that it can be stored in a database table. I have attempted to pick up this file name from the payload using the "getContentType" method of the "XMLPayload" class but this only returns "application/octet-stream" and does not include the file name.
Does anyone know how I can get hold of the above file name using the Adapter Framework API? Or, alternatively, by some other method/approach.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Please check for Adapter -Specific Message Attributes
->To store adapter attributes in the message header of the XI message, set the Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator.
The following attributes are added to the XI message header if the sender makes them available, and if you choose Variable Transport Binding.
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
You can set the details in header with the file names you required like this Variable Header-> XHeaderName1

Make sure you are composing your message as Plain Text or HTML and not as Rich Text.
If this only happens for a few recipients, verify that your Contact Properties is set to "Let Outlook decide".

I am interested in downloading email attachment files directly to my App.

Looked at dropbox, pdf reader and other Apps which automatically appear as an option when you are trying to download an attachment in your Ipad email. What kind of method or functions that an App need to include so email programs can recognize it and show as an option when you try to download email attachment?
Please help!

I've just installed it on my iMac (also Mt. Lion) but it didn't keep my settings from OpenOffice.org version 3.
By mucking around in the Library, I think I've at least gotten it to use my templates.
There's a user discussion list, and I asked there about this, but so far have not heard back yet.
I've been using Open Office for years, and am quite happy with it; I also have MS office but that's bloated and cumbersome.
Pages (for $10 from the app store) is another interesting alternative for a word processor.

How and where to save the email attached files on iPhone 5?

how and where can I save on my iPhone 5 the files (mp3, wav, doc, jpeg, etc.) that come attached to the emails?...
thanks a lot

Photos attached to an email can be saved to the Camera Roll in the Photos app on your phone. Tap and hold on a photo in the email until you get a choice to Save Image.
Other documents require a suitable app.
PDFs can be saved in the free iBooks app available in the App Store.
Word docs can be saved in Pages or other apps that support text files.
Etc.
To save a document tap on the doc. You will either be able to view the contents or get a choice to open in some other app,

How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle. Has anyone solved this problem?

That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

Email attachment file name

Hi,
I have a macro that executes when the user sends an email. In this macro, I want to get the subject of the email itself and the titles of all of its attachments (be they documents or other embedded emails that were attached).
To get the email subject, I use Groupwise.ComposingItem.subject
To get the attachment filename, I use Groupwise.ItemAttachmentGetDisplayName("X00", <attachment_index>)
However, this call only seems to work for document attachments. For other emails embedded in the current email as attachments, this call returns "Mail Attachment" instead of the name of the attached email. How can I get and modify the name (i.e. subject) of the attached email?
Thank you,
M

Embedded emails do not have names.
If you want a name for an embedded email, you will
have to read the embedded email and get the subject.
You can not modify embedded emails.

Email attachment file support - TIF etc

Is anyone aware of any new applications for TIF (tagged image file format) support for email attachments? I frequently receive them but the iPhone was unable to render them prior to 2.0. As of the 2.0 update, I can open one I received today, but it displays only the first page inline. Trying to forward the email with the attachment is ineffective and the iPhone renders the attachments useless.
Anyone with any knowledge on this matter, or if you've heard of any rumors, please respond. I'd think this is a business critical issue for Apple to address - in fact, if there is no viable support for this format, I'm going to have to dump the iPhone. Ouch!

I am having the same issue - however, I am not sure it is strictly a 2.0 problem.
I am having the issue using Safari to open any attachment that is a .tif file - and it only renders the first page...
After browsing other posts on this problem - some have mentioned that Safari doesn't support .tif files that have more than one page -
So my question is were you able to open multi-page documents in Safari before?

Unzip email attachment file

Does OS Xv10.5 have a built in utility for unzipping email attachments? If so how do you use it? My email program is yahoo.

Try the free Stuffit Expander You have the option to set it to automatically unstuff files when you download them or if left still stuffed/zipped then just double click the compressed file to extract it.

Email, attaching file, no preview

If I try to attach a photo in an email, I am unable to preview the photo..... clicking on a particular photo all it says is " fetching " but I get no preview. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated

Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all. Restart and test.

Attaching file to emails?

How can I attach a document to my outgoing email as an attachment so it doesn't display the file content within the body of the email, e.g. photo, pdf etc? The problem I find with displaying the scanned doc within the body is that when you print the email, it can split the photo or document across the middle of it printing segments across 2 pages. I have followed the Help instructions which are Attach button on toolbar or File > Attach file. I want the doc as an attachment that you have to click onto to open. Appreciate any advice

You don't have much control over this. Whether an attachment is "inline" or not is just a suggestion. The clients can and will display it however they want. Usually, displaying images within an e-mail is considered a "feature". The only guaranteed way to do what you want is to put the attachment inside a zip file before sending. It shouldn't cause much trouble for either a PC or Mac on the receiving end. It does add an extra step, but that seems to be what you want.
