Attach a file to Email

Hi, can anyone please guide me on how to attach a file in my phone to an email reply. (I can draft a new mail with attached file by using iFile only)

Hello DrAnujGupta and All,
The same here...
I use my iPhone/iPad for both personal and professional matters. We all use the Mac email client for long time and clearly being able to attach a file while composing or replying and email is a needed feature.
Below the two situations where I really miss of this feature:
a) I'm composing an email - already typed large amount of text - and realized that by attach a certain file the information would be more complete.
My workaround: Copy the list of - To: - destination email and past it in some text file, copy the message body text and past it in some text file, go the proper application containing the file a want to sent by email, use the application "share" or "sent by email" button - assuming that the application has such feature, copy back the email list and the body text.
b) I have received an email from from someone that is after a report. I need to reply with an attachment, keeping the same email conversation thread. This example, the current workaround can be a bit more cumbersome if the sender email address is not part of my address book.
address is not in my address book.
My workaround: I reply to the person - or list of people - informing that I will sent another email with the required document.
Please note that those workarounds are not meant to provide solution to this problem, but to expose how hard is to live without this feature.
I believe that this may be related with the fact that iOS applications are "sandboxed", jailed aiming a more secure application runtime environment - I'm not an expert, just guessing here... The email application seems to have a reasonable ability to know which application can open a received attachment file. This demonstrates that there is a way - or there could be a way - to allow the applications to exchange files in a secure way. If this is truth, the other applications should also be able to share files with email application.

Trying to attach pdf files to emails I'm sending to myself. Instead of attaching the file, it copies the text. I want the file so I can have it on my iPad. I've been able to do this in the past, but not the last two tries. What's wrong? Thanks.

You aren't doing anything wrong.
If the PDF is short enough, your iPad Mail app will display the text as part of the mail.
Actually it is still an attachment.
Tap and HOLD on the text and you should see options to "Open In..." that will allow you to open the PDF in most PDF readers such as iBooks, GoodReader, etc.

You attach files within the app that creates the file or within the app that the file is saved. For example you email photos from within the Photos App itself. Typically there will be an action icon within the app - an arrow icon many times - you tap on that to bring other options like Share - then Email.
Attachments must be mailed within the apps themselves.

I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Downloading attached zip file from emails using safari

How to download, and where will be the downloaded attached zip file in email be stored using safari? How to open and save the zip file attached to the email? Do you need an app to open and store the zip file?

The app GoodReader (I don't know if there are any free apps that can also do it) can be used to zip and unzip email attachments
press and hold the zip file in your email - after a couple of seconds you should get a popup, with one option being 'Open in GoodReader' which you should select
GoodReader should then open with the zip file listed under My Documents
select Manage Files on the right-hand side of GoodReader, select the zip file, and touch the Unzip button that appears on the right
You should also be able to download zip files directly into GoodReader by typing the URL in its Wed Downloads sectio.

Can no longer attach pdf files into email.

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 as the OS. Seems that I am no longer able to attach PDF files into any email. Any clues as to what has gone wrong?

Thanks for the help. Seems I had a failed Windows update several weeks past I had forgottent about. Had to do a restore to the prior date to get back to the right configuration. Did an online session with Mircosoft, reinitiated the update, and it seems as if the issue is resolved. We were able to re-test attaching and send pdf files. Seems there is still some slight issue with IE, but you appear to be on the right track about focusing on Web Outlook if the problem continues to surface. Thanks again.

How do I attach photo files to email message in iPhoto '11?

Apple says, "If you want recipients to be able to use the photos you send, rather than simply view them, you can attach the photo files to your email message. (BUT HOW?) Recipients can then download the photos from the email message and print them, use them in their own projects, and so on."
How do I attach these files when sending an email of photos using iPhoto? (I don't want to use AppleMail, I know how to do it in AppleMail) When I click to Share my photos via email in iPhoto, I do not see any option rbutton to add files to make the photos easily downloadable for the recipient. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Not sure why you can't deselect the option, but I would guess that yes, the files are being attached.
Who are you sending to? iPhoto sends HTML emails and not every application on Windows or Mac knows how to deal with them, for instance, nor every user.

thanks for the reply Here are the answers to your questions.
yes each account has it's own drafts folder. and I can save the file into the drafts folder after follow the steps you outlined in your answer. I did repair permission but nothing has changed .
one thing i discovered is that I can attach files to the mail if i reply to it. only when i create a new mail in one of those accounts can i not attach any files.
Seeing on the side bar that you are a top user I have another question you might be able to answer
my apple help is not working, when i go to finder and go to mac help the page is blank and if i search it just searches and nothing happens

Attach text file on email

Hi,
I must attach one table like file ".txt" at an email.
I use the call function "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" and I can send email with attachment the text file.
When I open this file, it is not properly aligned like I see it into table during program process.
If I change the file extension in ".doc", it's attached and is properly aligned.
Do you konw tell me if I must change some function parameter's settings?
Thanks, Davide.

I get a spinning pinwheel when trying to attach a file to email - running Mavericks. iMac just hangs, have to power off

Suddenly, without having made any significant changes to my iMac running Mavericks, I cannot attach a file to an email. I get a spinning wheel, I can't even force quit, the machine just locks up. Happens with different mail clients and different browsers.

Attaching xlsx files to email with CL_BCS and CL_DOCUMENT_BCS

Hi
I have made a program that can send an email with attachments from GOS (documents attached to sales orders and invoices). This program works almost perfect. It seems my program can attach any 3 letter file types like DOC, PDF, JPG, AVI, EXE, XLS, but not filetypes with more than 3 letters like XLSX.
I creeate a document with CL_DOCUMENT_BCS->CREATE_DOCUMENT
I attache the files with CL_DOCUMENT_BCS->add_attachment
and finally i send the email with CL_BCS methodts.
The problem is CL_DOCUMENT_BCS->add_attachment paramter I_ATTACHMENT_TYPE of type SOODK-OBJTP - this data type is only 3 chars.
How can I attach XLSX files whit these methods?
Best regards

Hi Thomson,
Thats true ABAP email API does not support 4 chars file types.
Since Office 2007 is released on the market the new extensions (docx, xlsx,...) lead to several questions in the SAP DMS area. So it might happen that Office 2007 applications raise some warning messages because the local copy of an original has only the 'old' extension xls or doc. Even if they were created with Office 2007 and new file formats.
Reason:
Please note that SAP Document Management generally support the file format of Office 2007. But due to the fact that this change in file format is a very new one and the latest SAP Releases ERP2004 and ERP2005 were released some time before, the customizing field 'Suffix' could not be enlarged to four digits. So it is only possible to maintain suffix values like 'doc' or 'xls' and therefore the 'old' extensions were used if you display or edit an original. For further information please take a look at the SAP note 1147660, which was created by the Office Integration colleagues.
Possible Solution:
What can be offered to you is a possible workaround, which was sent for this behavior to achieve that the local copied files have a extension like .xlsx or .docx. For this workaround the following steps are necessary:
1. We have to create new workstation applications for the new file extensions with the mime-types of the new office applications (XLX, WRX and PPX).
2. We have to customize them with %AUTO% %NO-LEAVE% instead of %SAP-OFFICE-INTEGRATION.OUTPLACE% %MAXSIZE%
3. We have to use a BADI on BEFORE_CHECKOUT event to determine if workstation application is one of the XLX or WRX or PPX. If it is, we have to set the target temporary file extension to the corresponding 4 characters of the new extensions. This means that we can display "USER01.xlsx", in the user local PC, as a real office 2007 file.
However please note that this is just a possible solution and means to be a modification to the standard system.
Generally, it is recommended to maintain the following settings for working with Office 2007 and the new formats.
u2022 In transaction DC30, maintain the new file extensions (e.g. *.docx) or . as a general file format entry. This will avoid that you cannot add originals with the new file format to your document info records. This is very important if you have implemented SAP notes 948177 and 967839 which bring a tighter file format check into your system.
u2022 Further, test the behavior if you set the 'Do not rename temporary files' flag in transaction DC30. This will lead to the behavior that the file name is not changed if you check out or display the original file. Maybe this could also help to avoid that the original file-name is changed or corrupted.
Also, please refer to blog by Ander Fischer; [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/12030]
Hope it helps you.
Thanks
