ATT00001.htm shows up along a Mail attachment

Every time I send email with an attachment, a strange file with the name like "ATT00001.htm" shows up along EACH attachment at the recipient's end.
This is very annoying and confusing to the recipient.
How can I prevent it from happening?

I send email thru a non-Exchange SMTP server, but yes, I receive email thru an Exchange server.
Both are at work.
I just did a test you suggested:
[1] Send email to myself as Plain Text with a PDF attachment.
The received email has the PDF file and a plain text file "ATT00001.txt"
[2] Send email to myself as Rich Text with a PDF attachment.
The received email has the PDF file and a file "ATT00001.htm"
So, either way, I end up with an extra file that I did not send in the first place.
How can I make this stop?

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.

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."

Imail wont show mail attachment

From time to time imail doesn't show attachments that come with an e-mail. In order to better explain it. I use IMAP mail. When I recieve the mail, I can see the small attachment picture but there is no attachment file with in the mail. In order to make sure, I log into my imap server with a web browser. I open the same e-mail and the attachment is there. Imail wont show or download the mail attachment. Is there any solution to this problem?

Well, I fixed it. Luckily I just have my .Mac IMAP email account with aliases so I just deleted my ~/Library/Mail, ~Library/Mail Downloads and ~/Library/Preferences/Mail Prefs and on the next launch of Mail it grabbed all my mail from the .Mac server. I had to recreate my rules but I have my RSS feeds back once again. I hope the updates to Mail in 10.5.3 address this issue as it has happened on two machines for me now.

Mail 8.1, attachments in outlook are showed with ATT00001.htm files

At my work I use Mac and Mail 8.1 app. Everyday I send attachments to Outlook users and they see with attachment files ATT00001.htm. If I send 10 attachments outlook users see 20 attached files - 10 of them trash files like ATTxxxxx.htm. Before upgrading to Mail 8.1 I was using add-ons to Mail app like Universal Mailer http://universalmailer.github.io/UniversalMailer/download.html
which is not supported in Mac Mail 8.1;
and before Yosemite I was using Attachment Tamer from http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer
which is not supported in Yosemite.
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this problem (any add-on to Mail app which will be working with Mail 8.1)?

We have the same problem in the office too since the update to Mac OS X Yosemite and Mail 8.2. We are using Microsoft Exchange. Every mail we send from Apple Mail will have an attached .html file after every attachment. This is especially bad when there is still some text after the attachment, because this text will be moved into the .html file too so no receiver will ever read it.
Looks like a similar problem was already existing some years ago:
Mail attaches an HTML file for each file that I attach
It seems as I could solve the problem though installing the Universal Mailer mentioned above.

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.

Getting rid of the ATT00001.htm attachment

I look like an utter fool when I send email using Mail with an attachment (images, documents, anything) and I get a response form those I am emailing asking what the junk attachment "ATT00001.htm" or any deriative of the numbers ending with a ".htm" suffix.
I am told it is an HTML tag that Mail creates- but since most of my recipients are using a PC and Outlook it appears in every email recipient that I send this to.
Is this a bad design issue with Apple or is there something I need to do to get rid of this? My PC friends all roll their eyes and say this is because it is a "Mac" thing. Any suggestions?

I and all my Mac based colleagues have exactly the same issue. The ATT00001.htm attachment contains the portion of the email that is below whatever attachment you have purposely placed. So if you right your message then add attachment and your auto signature looks to be beneath it, at the recipients end they will see the email message and a ATT00001.htm with your signature in it.
I have no idea on how to eradicate this issue.
Someone mentioned it may be something to do with Exchange servers, which I am using, but then, surely so are many business users and i would have thought Apple would have considered this.
Any ideas how we can get an official resolution to this problem?

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. Adobe reader is installed on my iPad.

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. I do have adobe installed. Any suggestions?

You don't need any third party app at all in order to view a supported file in the mail app. It should be viewable even without Adobe Reader.
You do see a paper clip icon to indicate that there is an attachment but you don't see the opened PDF or the PDF icon in the body of the email? Did you swipe all the way down to the bottom of the screen? Is this just happening in one email or does it happen everywhere in the mail app?
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Launch mail again and see if the PDF opens or appears. If it doesn't, close mail again and restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have spoken to Apple and they cannot fix.

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.

No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

ATT00001.htm attachments since 10.6.4

I have read a few posts about this being an issue but have not found a solution.
The most important part to me is that I have never had this issue until the recent 10.6.4 update.
Does anyone know WHY my file attachments are now sending out as html files and HOW I can fix this? Some have proposed that this problem is with Outlook. I can verify that my issue is not. I can go in to my SENT messages folder and see the same ATT00001.htm attachments. Although, as far as I can tell, this issue is only with my exchange account. I also have me.com and gmail.com accounts that I don't appear to have an issue with.
TIA!

This is indeed almost certainly an Exchange issue; unless you've changed your settings, your Sent mail is on the Exchange server. The Mail-Exchange interaction immediately splits any text after an included attachment into a separate attachment, so it will appear that way in the Sent mail. Most likely this didn't crop up before (if indeed it didn't and you just didn't spot it) is that previously you were attaching things at the end of your messages and didn't have any text after the attachment.
The workaround for this is to make sure your attachments are at the end of your email, below any text. There's a setting under Edit -> Attachments where you can enforce this. Other than that I know of no fix, and Apple doesn't acknowledge this as their bug to fix.
Regards.

Error while opening PDF in mail attachment

Hi All,
In smartform i am sending a mail with attachemnt as PDF file,there is one more option like preview of smartform .
issue is like i am able to see the preview of the same record but when it is sent in mail attachement,and while opening PDF its showing error that file can not be open it is corrupted.
Please help.

Dear Sandra
That was my problem: binary data was incorrectly converted (often because of Unicode systems).
I returned
        bin_filesize          = v_len_in
        bin_file              = l_binfile
from the function module CONVERT_OTF, then converted the xstring data (l_binfile) into an internal table (t_objbin) to send to the mail send function with the following function module:
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        buffer        = l_binfile
      IMPORTING
        output_length = v_lines_bin
      TABLES
        binary_tab    = t_objbin.
Many thanks for your help.

Mail attachment with UDF in SAP PI 7.1

Hello,
I need to reproduce this solution in PI 7.1
/people/samuel.chandrasekaran2/blog/2008/10/06/xi-mail-adapter-dynamically-building-attachment-and-message-body-content-using-a-simple-udf
It is about adding lines of a message as an attachment to a mail.
The UDF works for all elements except the lines for the attachment itself.
In order to build the content of the attachment (for this particular requirement) they are using a global variable declared and initialized in the global sections.
But the button for the Java Section to use an imported archive is no longer available in PI.....
So how to solve that issue?
I tried to use a graphical variable instead of a global variable but I have no idea how to add the n lines
from the source message as one import object into the UDF via that graphical variable.
Your ideas are very appreciated!
Best Regards
Dirk

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

Aperture not showing up / displaying in Mail Photo Browser in Leopard 10.5

This is for anyone who upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 and wanted to use Mail's Photo Browser to insert Aperture pics into mail messages. At first, it only displayed the iPhoto and Photo Booth folders in Mail's Photo Browser on my Powermac but I remember seeing it in the Apple store.
If you already generate previews in Aperture, this is pretty much a non-issue. But for me, it frustrated me for a long time. To make it work, the previews must be set in Aperture. I turned it off because it used up extra HD space.
In Aperture, you need to check the "Share previews with iLife and iWorks" under Preferences. Then decide which size and quality of a preview you want. The larger the size and quality, the better it will turn out when you use it in the photo browser. This dictates the image size and quality of what is imported into your Mail message. (I used the smallest size and a quality of 7, which gave satisfactory results without making the aperture library grow too much). I figured it I wanted to email a large, I could attach it separately via a standard export from Aperture. Don't go too low on the quality as it will not turn out very good.
Remember to go and generate previews for each folder or pictures, as those are the only ones that will show up in the Mail photo browser. The folders will show up but no pictures if you don't generate the previews.
It takes a minute before it refreshes in the Mail Photo Browser. Just play with the different settings and put them into your mail to compare the results.

I had a similar problem and what I found was that I had some corrupt .avi files. Once I removed them all was well. I had to create a new iPhoto library and hunt and peck. I would drag part of the old library into the new library then see if iTunes would see the photos - once it froze then I knew what part of the iPhoto library to look at.

How to get filename from mail attachment

Hi all,
I have a XI scenario Mail->XI->RFC. I have created my own adapter module which handle all attachments from incoming mail.
Everything work fine, but in my module I try to get information about filename of mail attachment. I use getContentType() metod to get the filename but this method return only the mimetype of the document. The getDescription() method return olny string "mail attachment". I need to get the original filename of the attachment or at least the file extension.
Is it possible to get the whole filename from mail attachment?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
You can tryout with adapter modules . You can make use of following Adapter attributes also -

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

Mail Attachment with attachment name = mail subject name

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter and today I am using hard codes attachment names using the MessageTransformBean. I have read the blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution about dynamic filenames but how do I get the eMail subject as a viriable to create the attachment?
Thanks
Juergen

Juergen my weblog was the simplest suggestion to your issue - you can put the mail subject anywhere in
message get it (and remove) in the adapter module
you can also try to get the
Adapter-Specific Message Attributes from the adapter module
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/content.htm
but I'm not sure it the second solution works with adapter modules - but you can do an easy check
