Apple Mail attachment

I use gmail as my primary email account. Every time I send an email via Apple Mail using the attachment, the attachment icon that appears in gmail does not appear next to the email. Although the attachment IS in the email, I am not able to see whether that email has an attachment or not by looking at the icon. Is there a way to fix this?

I guess I will have to use entourage as my primary email app. =(

  • Apple mail attachment encoding problem

    I'm having the problem lately that either attachments aren't being decoded properly and the source is displayed in the email or that the entire email is being displayed like this:

    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    Content-Type: text/plain;
    charset=ISO-8859-1;

    We have the same problems with UTF-8 encoded mails. If I select the Inbox, then select Mailbox -> Rebuild it fixes it, but I need a better solution to fix this. Several others are having the same problem and it seems to be happenning intermittently.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    This clients use presumably Outlook 2007. It's not your or Apple Mail's fault, it's a known bug in Outlook 2007 and there is also a Microsoft Help and Support Article from April 2007 about that issue.

    A workaround is also described there.
    A simple ad hoc solution is to ZIP the pictures before attaching to mail

  • Where are apple mail attachment files stored in OS 10.9

    I am trying to locate an attachment file from a recently deleted message.  The message is no longer in my trash, so I can't access the file through Mail.  In the past, there was usually an archived copy somewhere on my hard drive, but it seems to have moved in my most recent update of Mac OSX.  It used to be in the Library folder in my user folder, but now there is no Library folder in that location.  Where do I find these files?

    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. Check the Mail folder/V2.

  • Attaching photos to Apple Mail - error when attaching multiple files

    Hello,
    My iPhoto just recently started giving me an error whenever I try to attach multiple files to Apple Mail. The error says:
    "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of
    content of outgoing message id 321072192.
    Invalid index."
    The only option allowed is to cancel. When I look at my Apple Mail it has created a message with the first selected photo attached, but none of the other photos are there. Any ideas of how to correct this? Is this an email client issue?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This is a problem between iPhoto 4 and 10.5.
    The workaround is to use the Photo Browser on the new Message Window in Mail, just drag the pic over from there:

  • Not able to send pdf file as attachment in my apple mail.

    Hi, I was easily able to attach pdf files to my apple mail.  infact I could just open a pdf file and then send it as attachment in the email earlier. but after downloading and upgrading to os X Mountain lion, I am neither being able to attach and send pdf files in my apple mail, nor can I send PDF file as an attachment.
    Is there any issue with OS X Mountain Lion.
    Issue 1.  I compose Email , then click attach > Browse > select pdf file > click attach > it shows in my Email body either as an icon or as first page of the pdf document > I send it. >>> But when the receipient opens the Email, that pdf attachment is missing. In fact When I put a cc to my self and I open the Email, the attachment is mssing in the incoming E amil.
    Issue 2. I open the PDF document > Click on File > send as attachment in E-Mail > on right, a menu appears where I select the File and click attach> I get a message
    The SendMail doesnot know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use. Attaching a screen shot.
    I never had these issues earlier with my Lion OS . but since the time I have upgraded to mountain Lion OS, I am having these issues.
    Are these the Mountain Lion issues, how to fix these please.

    I believe, the software team forgot to put a button for send or share as an attachment to preview.

    Title:
    Mac Mail att htm issue in outlook
    Question:
    I'm using mac original mail software. I did set my HTML style template. The software is best ever.
    And works good when I send email to outlook users on PC. However if I attach PDF for example, it does go through and outlook users get it, however when they open message all they see.
    - attached PDF
    - and att00001.htm file which has inside email text
    Not everybody gets idea to open it and thy think it is empty email. The same email will be sent to apple user everything looks properly. Why email text is converting into the htm file? It happens only if i attach something to my message, if I don't then email text is not being converted to htm attachment.
    I think there are a lot of user that know this issue, did anybody find a solution yet?
    Thank you

    I don't think there is anything you can really do about it.
    I think that it's how the receivers program is going to interpret it.
    For example, I sent an email to my Outlook account from my Mac with just an attachment; no text. I looked at the email in Outlook 2000 and I see the attachment as an item in the body text section of the email. When I look at that same email in Outlook 2003 the attachment shows in the attachment area under the subject line and the body text area is blank.
    Then I sent another one with an attachment and some text in the body of the email. In Outlook 2000 I see the text in the text area and the attachment as well as a attxxx file in an area at the bottom of the email. The att file was empty. In Outlook 2003 that same email as the attachment and the empty att file in the attachment area at the top and under the subject line and in the body text area of the email is the text that I typed.
    Although Mac Mail uses standard protocols, which is why you can send an email to a Windows PC, it just does some different things. In the WIndows world Outlook and Outlook Express also handle some things differently.
    Goldblum:
    Thank you for your reply
    This issue makes mail.app useless, do you have any recommendations?
    Other client which are as good as the mail.app or would be nice to know what is forcing to convert body text to attachment? I could reduce beautiness of my email template by taking out header (jpg) or not using rich text. What exactly is forcing outlook to convert body to attxxxxx.htm file?
    jhyiesla:
    I truly don't know the answer to that question. Sometimes similar things happen coming the other way. I'll get emails in to my Mac Mail that have jpg files and I'll see the actual pictures in the body of the email.
    I happen to also have Office 2008 for the Mac installed and when I sent my self a message and looked at it in Outlook 2000 and XP, the email looked "normal" in all instances. The attachment was marked as an attachment, text was where it should be and no att file.
    There are other email clients that would probably work on the Mac like Thunderbird... but I'm guessing that you'd have a similar thing as happens with mac mail. Still it might be worth the download to test it out.
    Goldblum:
    I used entourage and same HTML template for email and have no problems. It is just so that entourage is as any other MS product "broken" out of the box but did good job and same message is not being converted to HTML attachment when it goes to outlook on PC. I will continue researching internet because it has to be solved. I can't send a message to client without comment to attached invoice. This is so not professional. I will play more with settings of mail.app to see what else can be done to avoid conversion.
    jhyiesla:
    Entourage probably works well with Outlook because they're both MS products and MS is going to have somewhat similar looks to all their Office products... although there is quite a bit of difference between Entourage and Outlook.
    Here's a link that may help you on your search:
    http://email.about.com/od/macemailclients/tp/free.htm

    As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
    My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
    I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
    The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

  • Has anyone experienced Apple Mail flattening .PSD file attachment when sending?

    One of my students encountered the case when Apple Mail flattens .PSD file when sending an attachment.
    Running latest Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) Mail Version 4.2 (1077). Multi layered .PSD file 120K was saved on desktop and than attached to email. None of the Adobe applications were running at that time. After it was sent, the attached file in Send mail folder was flattened and it size dropped to 88K.
    The flattened file was sent to destination. Although we could not reproduce this problem on the other computers, it always happens on this particular machine.
    When the problem was reported to Apple, the answer from engineers was more disturbing than the problem itself.
    They said "... it is OK to flatten the file to reduce the size of attachment when sending. It is expected email behavior". I am very troubled by this attitude from Apple. Flattening the image discards information contained in individual layers. This is actually EDITING the contents of an attachment when sending it.
    Has anyone experience this problem? Also, I would appreciate feedback on Apple's position that it is OK to edit attachments when sending them withou asking the user first.

    Marian,
    I'm afraid you have missed the point. People send binary files via email all the time: images, video and music clips - in fact any attachment is a binary file. Underlying protocols are implementation details, a mail client may choose any form of encoding/encryption to send an attachment. However, the internet standard requires that an attached file is delivered exactly as it was sent, mail clients/servers are not allowed to take upon themselves to "optimize" attachments without the end user knowledge and permission. It creates a dangerous precedent. In this particular case my photography student had no way of knowing that for whatever reason his particular setup would flatten the image and ruin his homework.
    Also, none of the protocols: FTP, SMTP or HTTP is inherently binary or MIME encoded, it depends on the settings and implementation ( Check RFC's)
    I am not asking for a work around, which is trivial. I am simply trying find how serious is the problem. This is not a normal behavior, I know for certain only about two cases when it happens. With such a rare occurrence it seem to be a bug rather than a feature. That is why Apple reaction to is so surprising.

  • View full file names of mail attachment titles in MAIL application (Apple)

    I often get many attachments sent to me and when I am looking through emails for some reason all attachments show up as an ICON with a shortened version of the name of the file. It is always just the first 10 or so characters of the title and the last 3, which is usually the (.gif, .pdf, etc...)
    A lot of what I get usually has the similar titles and only seeing the first few characters is not making things easy for me to find exactly what I am looking for.
    Is there a way to view the full file name within the mail and within the application without having to open each file up each time in the APPLE MAIL application?
    Maybe there's a way to show all attachments as a list with a smaller icon?
    Anything that'll let me view the full title of all attachments would help.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I agree it is frustrating and literally just sent the wrong attachment to a customer because I was trying to live with the truncated filename system. I did find this nifty app called Mail Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer). It's pretty neat as it lets you control how attachments are viewed as well as pdfs and images (based on size). It's a free unlimited trial and $15 if you want to register so it's pretty inexpensive.

  • Apple Mail and gmail bug when sending attachment?

    Hi,
    And now for my own Mail question. Wondering if others have run into this bug?
    Mac OS 10.5 MacBook Pro.
    There seems to be a bug when trying to send Mail with an attachment (via a gmail account).
    Over and over, Mail just hangs there.
    But it works when:
    1. Using Mail, the same email can be sent when I Remove the attachment.
    2. Skipping Mail, and using gmail itself, the email and attachment are sent within seconds.
    2. Email with attachment can also be sent from another email service (such as Earthlink).
    Only when I am using Apple Mail, sending via gmail, With an attachment, is there a hitch.
    Thanks again for your attention,
    - Ross

    Perhaps this problem is confined to Mail 3.0 and later, and Leopard. I cannot send attachments using gmail as the smtp server. I can log in to my gmail account, download an attachment, and send, with no problem as Ross has experienced. I get an eternal hang when trying to send the same message with an attachment from Mail. Any solutions yet? Thanks!

  • How to add a normal attachment in my apple mail?

    Apple mail is so slow when I want to add attachment to my message. I think the reason is that when I add eps file or other files, apple mail does not simply add it, but integrating it into my context. But I don't need it to do that. And because the process is so slow(my eps file is kind of large...), it wastes a great amount of my time doing it. So far I'm satisfied with other functionalities of this software so I really don't want to give it up easily.
    So, any one know if there is a simple way to add a normal attachment into apple mail message? Like what we usually do in any other email client? Thanks.

    Try turning them into a zip file before attaching. From Finder Help:
    Compress and uncompress files and folders
    Compressed files take up less disk space than uncompressed files, so compressing is useful for making backup copies of your data or for sending information over the Internet.
    To compress a file or folder, Control-click it or tap it using two fingers, and then choose Compress from the shortcut menu.If you compress a single item, the compressed file has the name of the original item with the .zip extension. If you compress multiple items at once, the compressed file is called Archive.zip.
    To uncompress (expand) an item, double-click the .zip file.

  • ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail - SOLVED!

    Hi All,
    We recently discovered the problem where emails with attachments sent from Apple Mail were being received in Outlook, blank but with BOTH the attachment and the email itself as an ATT00001.htm attachment!
    I've discovered that the problem kicks in if the attachment is placed BEFORE the email message! If I write an email and then add an attachment AFTERWARD, ie. below the text, there is no problem.
    I hope this helps...

    Hi, you could try Universal Mailer plugin (http://noware-it.zxq.net), it solves this issue by correctly handling attachments. This also solves the problem for inlined images, which can now be correctly seen by recipients.
    PS: following Apple's forum rules I have to state that, since I'm the developer of Universal Mailer, I might make some profits from it. Also, on the website you can find a free version of the plugin, which has some limitation but can be used to test its functionality.

  • In Apple mail, the attachment symbol does not appear in the list of sent items

    In Apple mail, the attachment symbol does not appear in the list of sent items. So you cannot sort sent emails based on whether or not they have an attachment. Is there a way to fix this?

    I think my question wasn't clear. I know how to display the attachment header (I use classic layout) but the problem is that the paperclip icon does not appear against the messages that contain attachments. See screenshot below. The attachment column is displayed but is blank. These are my sent items and I know for a fact that most of them have attachments. Can you help?
