Attaching files as Attachments, not INLINE attachments

I'm sending images to a client who's on Lotus Notes (7.02). We have discovered an issue with inline attachments in Lotus, where attachments can only be drag and dropped out of Lotus if the attachment was NOT sent as an inline attachment.
This was tested in Thunderbird by changing the mail.contentdispositiontype preference as per this article:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sendattachments_as_realattachments
In any event, the client is not able to switch from Lotus to OS X mail or any other client– as this is a large organization.
The issue is easily fixed on my end by using Thunderbird– but that's not the path that I'd like to take–I'd like to know how to address this in OS X Mail.
I've already clicked on windows friendly, send at end of message, and tried right clicking and setting the attachment to 'show as icon'– all in an attempt to get OS X Mail to send 'real' attachments, as opposed to inline.
Does anyone know of a .plist file, or a hidden preference that can be enabled to address this?
Thanks!

exactly the same with on of my clients (Lotus, blocker, large org...). I have filed an problem case on this.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2183.txt
http://www.iana.org/assignments/mail-cont-disp
My understanding is Apple Mail has no outgoing option (GUI) to set the "Mail Content Disposition Value" to "attachment" (RFC2183 2.2) to have an "user controlled display" as opposed to "inline" (RFC2183 2.1) and "displayed automatically" on the side of the recipient.
In short the Summary (RFC2183 4.):
+"Content-Disposition takes one of two values, `inline' and `attachment'. `Inline' indicates that the entity should be immediately displayed to the user, whereas `attachment' means that the user should take additional action to view the entity."+
I also suggest we should also have a preference for incoming mail to not display content at all as "inline" regardless of the Content-Disposition Value if we want to.
Btw. I am also missing the option (MDN) to request a notification that a message is delivered/read.

  • Force Attachments as Attachments, not inline

    Hi,
    I'm using Mail for my work email now, because I'm tired of Thunderbird leaving artifacts on my desktop whenever I open an attachment. I've grown quite fond of it, but for one quirk.
    I'm required to deal with .slk files on a regular basis, and for some reason the Mail application forces them in-line. I would prefer to open them with StarOffice, because they're jibberish in-line.
    Is there a way to force included files to be treated as attachments, and not in-line? I can't find anything in the preferences.
    TIA -
    Mike

    Greetings,
    Mail doesn't force any attachments to be inline; that's determined by the recipient's email client. You can prevent that by sending all mail as Plain Text only, or compress the files into a .zip archive and send that instead.

  • Attach Files in EM not attaching

    Mac Book Pro, OSX 10.6.8,  Is not loading jpeg files onto EM's.  Everything goes as normal accept when I press "Attach files" nothing hapins.  The file is a photo of 1.4 MB.  What should be done to fix this?

    No no. What I'm attempting to do is use Media Encoder to encode a PP sequence that has CC data attached. All I want is the CC data to be accessible when broadcasting the MXF file. I understand that I shouldn't be able to see them (other than in the PP program window). However, I should be able to see them in an MXF viewer which I checking with the folks at VLC and AmberFin right now.
    You can use the TC00.scc file located in the FTP below. It's a test file with captions every 30 seconds (for 10 second duration) starting at 00:00:00:00. I just created a six minute "bars and tone" video with PP and used that for video.
    The FTP information is:
    HOST: intercaption.com
    USER: captioner
    PASS: access
    If you get it to work let me know and I'll send you the real data but it's a HUGE file.

  • Gmail attach file icon does not work

    Is there a way to fix this problem? I tried network.http.spdy.enabled to false. No go. I tried resetting all the settings in ie, per a suggestion somewhere, no go.
    Safe mode - does not work.
    This problem seems to have come from no where. I can drag files into gmail, but the attach file icon does nothing.
    Attach file icon works in IE, but I am trying to use Firefox.
    Is there a fix or do I need a new computer?

    I also have this problem. It just started today out of the blue. Whenever I hit "attach file" in gmail, I never get a "file explorer" popup. Simply nothing happens.
    * I'm running 31.0 on Mac 10.8.5.
    * I have tried resetting firefox several times. I've tried restarting in safe mode multiple times. Nothing will allow the window to appear.
    * I've tried various (old) fixes I found through searching (mostly involving about:config settings) but none worked.
    * Drag and dropping files onto a note DOES work (but this is no solution!).
    * I have cleared the cache several times but to no avail
    * I don't have the stomach (or time) now to completely uninstall and re-install. Not yet anyway.
    * This function works fine in Chrome and Safari
    I finally went and UNCHECKED popup blocking. Now I get the file popup immediately! So it would seem that somehow Firefox is blocking the file "finder" interface as a popup. What gives?

  • Attachment file type .vcf not shown when send by android gmail

    When thunderbird 31.3.0 receives a .vcf attachment (contacts list made by android phone contacts) send from android gmail, it shows the attachment icon next to the list of new messages, but when opening it disappears. In the message no attachment shown, but it is in the message source.
    The menu View->Message Body As->'Original HTML' is set.
    When I change this option to 'Plain Text', the attchment is shown and can be saved.
    Other files like .pdf work ok though in 'Original HTML'
    The messages are received by a POP server (tried pop.online.nl and pop.googlemail.com).

    I realize that I should not see headers like that, and none of my other received emails that day had them. The particular email in question had other unwanted characters within its message, suggesting that something gone wrong with its encoding. Here is a small sample (i.e. the '=20'):
    Subject: Re: Draft email to Claire re topics /possible agenda items for Wa=
    ndle consultative group mtg
    =20
    The email was part of a conversation, and earlier parts of it had far more of these intrusive characters, which were not there when those parts of the conversation were first received. Here is a sample:
    I hope you still have your full revised text and can send it to us again.
    Best,Michael.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0=
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Michael Graubart
    I did not, in fact, do View / Message / Raw Source when I read the email. I have now gone back to the email and have now tried View / Message / Raw Source to see what the result would be. What happened was that an additional view of the message opened alongside the first one, with an enormous mass of characters which I shall not reproduce here unless I am told that it would be helpful.
    But in neither of the views could I find a trace of the attachment. That is what really worries me, in case it happens again unknown to me.

  • Attaching file in OWA not possible

    Since a while I cannot attach any file when working with Outlook web access application via Safari. It works with Firefox and was working in the past. Any suggestions? Thanks Nenad

    Besides the click twice method you can choose tot use the webapp light version (simply tick the box at sign in)
    This works allright with attatchments, not the best of options but it works.
    Apperantly the issue started with Apple not supporting Silverlight as off Safari 7. Or microsoft for that mater. I've not yet found a decent solution for this.

  • How to use File Adapter Receiver to write attachments

    Hi,
    i have a scenario, in which our own XInotes adapter sends an XIMessage from an IBM Lotus Notes database into XI. This XIMessage contains an XML document as application main document and several PDF files as additional attachments 
    On the receiver side, i must use a File Adapter to write both the XML documents and the PDF attachments into a directory.
    The problem is i don't know how to use the file adapter receiver to write the attachments. In the Channel Monitoring, i can see that all PDF files are transferred to the file receiver. But the file adapter writes only the XML document into the directory.
    I've also tried the AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean, but it can only swap one PDF file into the application payload. And the file name must be hard coded in the module configuration as swap.KeyName.
    Could anyone give me any ideas?
    thanks a lot in advance

    hi,
    receiver file adapters do not supprt attachments.
    Only File Sender adapter is capable of handling attachments not the receiver.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4b/a20c4cfea96b498b1e1af3f32f0670/frameset.htm
    Configuring the sender FILE adapter
    The sender file adapter is configured to pick the normal payload (file1.xml), which is specified in the File
    access parameters, and the additional image file (file1.jpg) that is to be sent as an attachment is configured
    under the Additional File(s) as shown in the screenshot below. The file type would still remain binary.
    Since, by default, XI sends payload and attachments in XML format, we need to call two beans, namely the
    MessageTransformBean and the PayloadSwapBean to help us is transforming the content to jpeg format
    and also change the file extension.
    The PayloadSwapBean module is used to replace the application payload of the XI message that holds the
    data with another payload which is appended to the message as an attachment. In our case, the payload
    would be file1.xml whereas the attachment would be file1.jpg
    The swap module is denoted in our scenario with the module key ‘swap’. It has two parameters from the
    MIME header.

  • Acrobat Reader DC  one source of pdf attached files

    I have a MacBook Pro and found that since updating to Acrobat Reader DC there is one source of pdf attached files that do not open (I just get a black screen).
    I do not have this problem with my iPad nor with an iMac also running the same reader. 
    I cannot find any 'switches' that will resolve this problem.   I get an error message saying that Acrobat Reader DC could not open "File reference" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  This cannot be the case as this file opens on other computers so it has to be localised to my MacBook Pro.  Other pdf files open normally and I am at a lost in deciding as to what is going wrong and how to rectify.

    If the same attachment can be viewed successfully on other devices, then it must get corrupted during the download on that one machine.
    People should really stop sending e-documents as attachments, it is much safer using a file sharing service such as Acrobat.com - upload and share the document, then send the download link via email.

  • E61: saving attached files

    Hello,
    I'm regularly stumbling on a recurrent problem with the built-in email application on my E61: when I receive an attached file which is not supported by the phone, I can't save it to the phone's memory or the memory card.
    The only menu I get is "open" (well, in addition to the "send" menu which isn't helping much here) and, of course, since the file isn't recognized by the OS, I only get an error message ("Impossible d'ouvrir. Type d'objet non supporté", i.e. Impossible to open, unsupported object type).
    Is there any workaround for this bug? I mean, the file is just an opera bookmark, basically a html file except that its name ends with .adr instead of .htm, and the only thing I need to reach the data inside this file is simply to save it to the memory, rename it, and open it in the browser...

    kindly can you tell the procedure....there is no Option of saving,there are just four options 'open', 'send','help','exit'
    so how can i save it, as it is attached with some application, but a sw is there to open the attaced file..i want to save it on my phone memory as a file.

  • Photo attachments not attached in windows outlook

    I am trying to send some photos from my iMac with OS X Lion. I have tried several times both directly from Aperture and inserting them as attachments in Mail. In all cases they end up on Windows Outlook in the message but not as attachments. "Send Windows friendly attachments" is checked. It used to work in Snow Leopard.

    Hi,
    Please right click on the attachment, then click "Open", does this work?
    We can also start Outlook in Safe Mode to troubleshoot if it's caused by some 3rd-party add-ins:
    Press Win + R, type "Outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    Then Outlook will start in Safe Mode, check whether the issue persists. If no, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the issue.

  • HT2500 Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files)

    Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files) to send. It was working just fine and after some period of non-use it just stopped accepting attachments to send. The system is all up to date. And, I have the same problem on two different Imacs.

    I had exactly the same problem as arthur1234. I followed his own suggested fix in his post of 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM.
    His fix worked perfectly. Attachments are now being sent and received as they have been for the last 10 years or so.

  • Emails containing PDF files can be seen as attachments on an iPhone but not my iPad

    When receiving emails with PDF attachments these can be seen as attachments on my iPhone however on my iPad these appear in the body of the email and not as attachments. I have checked that the original emails were sent using HTML.

    If it's a one page PDF then they will tend to show in the body of the body of the email on an iPad. You should still be able to do copy the PDF to another app by pressing and holding the PDF and after a second or two you should get a popup

  • Not getting attachments

    When using the PHP form I inserted into my iWeb site I do not receive the attachment in Apple Mail.
    Here is the form:
    http://www.modellabs.com/modellabs/Free_Quote.html
    My problem is that when someone uses the form to upload and send an attachment, I get a very weird Apple Mail issue.
    1) I get the email of the form in Apple Mail and it shows that their is an attachment with the paper clip icon. BUT there is not an attachment included. Not inline or when I double click the email. Nothing.
    2) However, I do receive the attachment if I log into Mac.com webmail.
    3) My business partner, on a PC using Gmail gets the attachment.
    Is this an issue with Apple Mail or iWebs/.Mac?

    I see issues like this a lot for larger files and when you open the email before the attachment had time to download.
    If you open mail, see it checking (spinning progress) wait. It will finish and show you new emails. Wait a moment and you may see it spin again, it does this for emails with attachments. If you try to open an email with an attachment before it is downloaded, I have have mixed results of it actually getting it. If you wait and let it finish before opening, most times you get it.
    It just is a pain yes.
