Forwarding Emails as inline text

Everytime I want to forward an email that has say cartoons in it or multiple images, like a joke - it recipient gets the images as individual attachments. How can I avoid this? I want the reciepient to get the email looking EXACTLY as I see it. With all the images/ text within the BODY of the email. Is this a setting/preference I can change???????????

artistsoulnme,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check in Mail preferences at Composing, if the "Composing: Message Format" is set to PlainText, If so, change the setting to Rich Text.

Exchange Server 2013 - Mailflow - Transport Rules - Forwarding Emails with Specific Text to Another Email Address

Hi There,
We are soon to implement Exchange 2013.
Question: Is it possible to have emails with specific text such as "..SND.." to an other email address specified as well as the original recipient?
Thanks very much.
Lisa.

Hi Amit,
Thanks for answering my question. I have one more. To enable rules like this do you need to have an Exchange Edge Transport server installed or is this configured from an admin console within Exchange itself?
Thank you,
Lisa

Mail attachments showing up as garbled inline text (code)

Running 10.5.6 with Mail 3.5
Receiving attachments to emails is inconsistent. Sometimes a Word document is received with an email just fine. Other times it will be attached by the sender (in the usual manner) but will show up in my email as inline text (just garbled text or code). If the email is sent to my gmail account, the Word doc is fine.
I am not sure what to look for since the symptoms seem to be inconsistent.

I have had the same problem for a long time. What burns me up is that I think I understand it, and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it --- short of using a different email client.
Examine one of these emails with the garbled text in place of attachment. If you're having the same problem I am, then when you use view -> message -> raw source, just before the attachment you will see something like this:
Content-Disposition: inline;
Multi-part MIME format messages can specify whether their sub-parts are meant to be viewed inline. If it is inline, often Mail will render images and PDF documents as you might expect, but many other file types are rendered as plain text. This even happens with files generated by applications Apple ought to be smarter about, such as iCal. I suppose that from Apple's point of view, the fault lies elsewhere. The sender's email client ought to be smart enough to let them send attachments as attachments. Unfortunately, some mail clients (Thunderbird in particular) seem to always mark outgoing attachments as inline, and Apple Mail does not have the flexibility to treat it in any other way.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

MacMail keeps turning my forwarded emails into text attachments

I need help. I use Macmail as my business email address and when I forward an email I want it to stay in the body of my email and instead mail changes the forwarded emails into text file attachments. No one is opening them or seeing them. They don't want to open attachments because they are too busy. Please help, I want to keep my forwards in the same email as my new note. I tried turning off Rich text in the preferences and that didn't help. It still does it using plain text. I have a jpg as part of my signature that goes under my new note, not at the bottom of the forward. I'm using MacMail 4.3 and OS 10.6.4.

You have to get rid of that JPG in your signature and also make sure to remove any styled fonts or colors too. When you do anything fancy in your signature, that will turn your message into a Rich Text message, regardless of what Apple Mail says it is.

Can Anyone View/Read FORWARDED Email Text?

I can't open/read forwarded emails. They show up as what looks like a document symbol and the words 'mime-attachment'. I know it's a Forwarded Email from the introductory text from the person forwarding it and the 'FW:' in the subject line. When I tap on the symbol or the 'mime' text, nothing happens and I can't read the forwarded email.
I also tried forwarding an email to myself and got the same result: 'mime-attachment' and a symbol, all unreadable. Anyone else have this? Any solutions, thoughts, etc.?

I asked this question in a different iPhone (HoFo)
forum and got no replies. It's irritating that I
can't read forwarded emails on my phone. My brothers
send a lot of forwarded emails and I have to wait
till I can get to my PC to read them.
Is there a place to report these kinds of issues?
This has No. 1 spot on this discussion thread: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
It's a feedback form just for iPhone. Fatboy - I just bought my second Fat Boy, with the 96 inch Engine, 6 Speed and 200 mm back tire - my 'old' one is a '99, so has 80 inch Engine. BIG difference - the new bike is excellent (with Rhinehart pipes...)

When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button. Can anyone help?

When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button. Can anyone help?

See if any of the following help.
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Attachments appearing as inline text

Certain attachments that I receive in Mail appear as inline text. This makes it impossible to save the attachment and open it in another program.
The most aggravating is .cpp files. These contents of these attached files all appear as inline text, one after another. If I want to work with these files, I have to figure out where the division between files is, copy and paste everything before that division into a new file, and fix the formatting line-by-line. How frustrating.
Please help me stop this behavior, or at least tell me a way to ALSO save the files, or something. Otherwise I'll have to change email clients, and I've gotten so used to Mail.

Clayton,
What computer and email client is the sender using to send these to you? I am guessing they are being sent in a message with Rich Text Format, or HTML and becoming "involved"? Some servers might even cause this, especially if SPAM filtering is in force.
Is the last header about attachments? Is there a black triangle beside this final header, and are there Save and Slideshow buttons?
More info, please.
Ernie

All of a sudden I cannot Forward emails in TB 31.1.2 - I get SMTP timeout error

And I've tried everything. Shutdown Emsisoft virus prot., turned off firewall, got into Verizon router (btw, I'm going right into the Verizon router-not thru a switch), no port forwarding, even tried to forward an email in Safe mode in Win 8.1 x64. This just happened. I can Write an email OK (i.e., from scratch), but just forwarding, even a small text message won't forward. I even installed an older version of TB. HELP! HELP!
I either get the SMTP timeout error or I get "check your email and messaging settings." My wife has the exact same setup in TB 31.1.2 but she uses Win 7 x86. -gg

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
'''About automatic updates'''
Automatic updates are the default in Windows.
You can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-updates?esab=a&s=automatic+updates&r=1&as=s customize such behavior], however, it's under '''Tools > Options > Advanced > Update'''.
My suggestion would be to set it to '''Check for updates, but let me choose wether to install them.''', specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.

Receiving PDF attachment as inline text

Hi -
I recently set up Mail on my iMac with an IMAP account. It looks like the emails I receive with PDF attachments appear as inline text within the body of the email when I download them from the IMAP server. I am able to log onto the IMAP server via its webmail interface, and download the PDF as a separate attachment that way.
I am able to receive .zip files as attachments just fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

I don't think that's exactly what is happening with me. It doesn't appear as an inline image, but rather as an inline "octet stream" which looks like it is the computer code that underlies the image. E.g.:

BT is blocking my forwarded emails !

I have a problem with receiving emails which are forwarded from the domain name I own.
That is I have an email address such as [email protected] which is forwarded to my BT email address such as [email protected].
In email testing I can, and other people can, send mail directly to my BT email account, ie to [email protected].
What fails is when email is send to [email protected] . The mail either takes more than a day to arrive or it is bounced back to the sender after about 3 days.
Obviously I want to continue to use my email addresses at my domain name so I have independence from ISP specific addresses. ie I can switch my ISP, change my forwarding and everybody can still email my at the same address without noticing any difference.
This is the interesting bit :-
When I contacted tech support at Netnames (they do my domain registration and email forwarding) and I explain my email problems his first question was : "Are you with BT Broadband ?". When I said yes, he continued to explain that they and other companies (eg 123reg.com) have had problems over the last 7 months with BT greylisting their servers. ie the BT email servers reject the forwarded email. They tell me that BT are denying this is problem and won't admit it to their customers (ie you and me). Also BT refuses to reply to requests for cooperation from these 3rd party companies
I spent 3 hours on a support call with some guy in India on Friday trying to get him to identify the problem. At the end his only recourse was to state that he had checked everything and he could not find any problems because if email works direct to the BT address then that's all that is required. Something I find incredible when as when I challenged him to send me an email to test it he said did not have access to email ! Obviously all the people who tell me that emails sent to me are bouncing must all be liars ???
Has anybody else got this problem and or a solution ?
How do I contact BT broadband complaints to tell them to fix the problem or loose my account ?
Neil

I have put the issue to Ian Livingston (BT Chaiman) and he has kindly forwarded my problem on to his probelm technical team. Just hope this not another bunch of chocolate tea pots like the regular support team.
I am still waiting on the logs from Netnames.
My email is now working again after by-passing my BT email inbox with a new email account.
This is the gobbledegook from one the bounced emails sent to me by someone not on the BT network.
Will post the logs when I can get them.
Regards
Neil

While forwarding email, email content is forwarding as attachment.

While forwarding email from Mac, receiver is getting body as attachment. I need a plain text like MS outlook.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Your suggestion works only while forwarding plain text only but receiving same problem while forwarding email with attachment. Receiver is receiving email like below (Second browser item is the body of the email)

How can I forward email with embedded photos?

How can I forward email with embedded photos so that the recipient gets them that way instead of all the text followed by all the photos?

Hello,
Thanks (or merci beaucoup). I am using Mail version 5.2 (1278) that came with the iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.4). When I forward the email to myself at my "me.com" email address from my "cox.net" email address, the photos come out as attachments even though they were embedded when I received the email on my cox.net email. What setting(s) can I make to have it get to me.com the way it was in cox.net, i.e. embedded instead of as attachments?
Lou Edwards

When I reply to or forward emails using Horde webmail, the original email is not 'quoted' consistently.

This started happening about 7-10 days ago. I use Horde to get mail online. Suddenly, when I would hit reply or forward the original email would not be quoted. I had changed nothing in any of my preferences.
Since then, it has been spotty and intermittent. Sometimes, reply is fine; other times, nothing. Sometimes, reply will not even paste in the person's email or the subject line. Same with forward. Sometimes, it is fine. Mostly, it is not. There are three settings for forward: entire message, Body Text and Body Text with attachment. The original message will often be quoted using Body Text or Body Text with attachment, but not Entire Message. However, at least 50% of the time it will not come up using anything. I had my ISP check this since it seemed to be synchronous with a PHP upgrade they applied to the server. However, the tech could find nothing and there seemed to be no problem using Chrome.
Any ideas?
Thanks

This is an extremely weird issue! I would suggest safe mode.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
