Attaching multiple windows friendly attachments in Mail

I am able to attach a single file to a piece of outgoing mail in Mail, and have that file appear as an attachment that I can open up in Outlook. However, if I select multiple files to attach to a piece of mail and the "windows friendly attachment" option is checked, those attachments show up embedded in the Outlook mail and not as separate attachments.
How can I send multiple windows friendly attachments in a single piece of mail and have them show up as separate attachments in outlook?

I seem to have solved this problem, which was that my daughter (on Windows) could not save attachments that I sent her in emails, and had other problems.
My solution is:
1. Mail > Edit >Attachments: Check "Always insert attachments at end of message".
2. After composing the text of a message in Mail, drag your image or its icon on to Mail's window and drop the icon at the end of the message. Voila (for me at least). If you drop the image icon at the top of the text, the image gets transmitted but not the text (!!!) (Ain't Apple wonderful!).
3. My daughter sees the image, opened, at the bottom of the message and by Right-Clicking on it she can save the image (she typed .jpg after the image title and got a jpg.)
Hope this works for you.

How do I send windows friendly attachments in Mail?

I am attaching jpgs to emails and sending them to windows users. They claim that the jpgs are embedded in the email and that they cannot access them. When I look at the email I sent in my Sent Mail folder it looks just like I would expect it to. Yes, the jpgs are visible at the end of the email, where I dragged them. But they are also shown in the header as attachments. "Always send windows friendly attachments" is already selected in the Edit>Attachments menu, so what am I missing here? Why can't these windows users access the jpg files?

I need to make a living. I won't let mac mail prevent me from making a living even a little bit. Apples product will not let me do the things i need to do. I don't have the luxury of trying to dictate to my customers which email product they use, most of them are NOT sophisticated computer users. They use what is given to them by an ISP. One contact lost could cost thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
I am not misinformed Apples, product does not do what i need. That is ALL the information i need, i can't use it. I don't care, even a little bit, about a "standard" so don't try to inform me about standards and how Apple is right and Microsoft is wrong.
Apples email product is the only product I've used that has this difficulty. So far it has not been enough of a problem for me to abandon Apple entirely. I must say that I cannot use 2 of the three products i have from apple for sending business emails. I don't know how much longer Apple will be able to ignore real world problems their customers face when using Apple products in a very NON standards compliant world.
None of the solutions i've found here are real world solutions, No Zipping of Files, No requirement that attachments be at the end of an email, No requirement for plain text. No one seems to understand that much of what i have to deal with is a long string of forwarded and reply email. If i try to make all of this stuff work i'd spend days reformatting other peoples email and the result would be something they would not recognize.
So i'd love to hear from someone that does not have a myopic Apple flavored view of the world and has a real solution. The only one i've found is spelled "OUTLOOK". Sorry.

Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

Hello All,
I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
Any way around this?

I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
1.
2. Clicked Word Doc.
3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
Thanks for everybody's help!

HT1338 When I email an attachment with "Always Sent Windows-Friendly Attachments" checked, the result is a picture embedded in the body of the email, not a attachment. What am I doing wrong.

When I email an attachment (a .jpg file) with "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" checked, the result is a picture embedded in the body of the email, not a attachment. What am I doing wrong.

1. "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" has nothing to do with the display of attachments on either your machine or other ones. It's an esoteric setting that strips the resource fork from Mac files (that might have them) which could apper as a duplicate file on the Windows machine.
2. Send Plain Text emails. Then it will always be received as an attachment.

'Notepad'' attached to all outgoing attachments in Mail

I have recently discovered that whenever I send a text attachment using Mail, the receiver gets two attachments, the one I sent and another one titled 'Notepad.' If you click on the notepad attachment it opens a text file that's either blank or has a few words in it. What's going on and how can I stop sending two attachments? I'm now running 10.5.2 on a Macbook, but apparently it's been happening for quite a long time--I was running Tiger on a 12 inch Powerbook.
Thanks for your help.

Make sure that you click the Always send Windows-friendly attachments
Other than that, there isn't much you can do to control how Mail (or any other mail program) sends attachments. It may include one or more copies of your attachment as well as multiple copies of your message. It does this to ensure that your message can be read on the other end. It always sends the simplest one first. That way, if your recipient has a worthless e-mail client, they can still read your messages. Unfortunately, if their e-mail client isn't clever enough to figure out the message, it could display all those multiple copies. There isn't anything you can do about that other than sending plain text and not sending attachments, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

Mii attach multiple files in one e-mail

Hello everyone
This is Yuko.
There are two MII may have a problem with email attachments.
1. Once you attach multiple files in one e-mail
Please tell me how this
2. Can not be above 1, and compiled into a single ZIP file.
Now, I can attach multiple files in one e-mail,
When you extract the ZIP, just made away with the file directory path is created,
you can not open the attachment and open the folder several times.
Anyone know a solution to this problem, please tell me.

Kevin, Thanks for answers.
My English is poor. Sorry.
Your answer is, we assume that the permit issue, and probably would not matter. Again, write the points in need.
For example, the two CSV when put together in one ZIP file, the workbench in the CSV file to specify the full path. CSV file, the workbench under the Web folder and then five in the second tier. At this time, who received an email with this attachment is to open the attachments, ZIP and open the file, open the following folder hierarchy, the next ..., and, many times to open the folder , will finally open a CSV file. Many times without opening the folder you want to open a CSV file.
We look forward advice.

Mail option "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" is grayed-out

I use Mail 4.2 under OS 10.6.2.
The option "Send Windows-Friendrly Attachments" is grayed-out.
Is there a reason for that?
Could that mean that it in non functional?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks!
I understand what you mean and that was the explanation that I gave myself, but without really knowing if I was right. Your explanation seems logical.
I was raising this point, because I have a problem sending attached ".jpg" photos to a friend in Europe (France) who uses Outlook under Windows Vista. He keeps telling me that I am at the origin of the problem, this problem being that he receives the attachment within the core of the text and that the file is in ".bmp" rather than ".jpg"!
Otherwise, I am not having the problem with others Windows users, who also use Outlook (under XP, Vista, or 7). They all receive the ".jpg" file as such and can open it by clicking twice on it, and also save it as such.
But I'm trying to see if I do something wrong before I try to convince this friend that the problem may be on his side. In which case, I also would like to help him in finding out what the problem is (but I'm not expert of the "dark side").

Mail will not send Windows friendly attachments

Although in the menu "Edit" send word friendly attachments is ticked. It does not send them. Recipient says it arrives as zipped file that is jammed and cannot be opened. I've been exporting the pages document to Word and then attaching it.

Hi,
"embedded jpegs" is not good terminology. If the JPEGs are attachments, they are not embedded -- don't confuse embedded with View in Place, btw.
How large a JPEG have you been able to attach and sent? How is the computer connected -- wireless or via ethernet cable?

How do I change file names in "Windows Friendly" attachments before sending?

In sending some "Windows Friendly" attached images, I want to change the file names so they are meaningful to the recipient. (I don't want to change the file name in my picture catalog, just for this mailing.) In Outlook on an old pc, I remember being able to right click and rename the file in the email draft. I've tried right clicking on the image (which looks embedded in my draft), but there is no option for renaming. I can't see the file name in my draft to figure out another way to change it. I'm sure other people want to do this when sending other types of files, so there must be a way, right? I'm using the current version of Mail.
Thanks!

I'm pleased to have helped, if you are mailing images all the time perhaps you could create a new folder on the Desktop or in Finder/Username store your images in the folder rename the images click Drag & Drop more than one at a time but don't make the package too big!

Windows-friendly attachments?

In The Missing Manual David Pogue recommends not setting attachments to be windows-friendly if they will be also received on a Mac, and that the windows-friendly setting only removes an added (useless) attachment that windows users may receive. Anyone have any experience with the windows-friendly setting resulting in Mac users not receiving the attachments at all?
I have always used "windows-friendly" for my attachments until I read The Missing Manual, and can't recall any complaints from Mac users.

Anyone have any experience with the windows-friendly setting resulting in Mac users not receiving the attachments at all?
I've never had anyone complain that they can't open a Windows-friendly attachment on a Mac. If someone you send it to does have a problem, they'll let you know, in which case you can send it again as a regular Mac attachment. David Pogue's recommendation is just that: a recommendation, so you're not bound to it. Do what works for you until you hear otherwise.

How can I attach multiple photos to an e-mail

I would like to attach multiple photos which are already in the photos file on my ipad to e-mails I am sending from the ipad. Is there a place in the e-mail where you can attach photos. The only way I have found to do it is to send from inside the photos file but can only attach one per e-mail. Any suggestions?

You must email the photos from within the photos app.
You can select up to 5 photos to email at a time. While you are in thumbnail view in the photos app - tap the arrow icon in the uper right corner. Then tap on up to 5 photos in order to select them. Tap the Share button in the upper left corner and then select - email

My Windows friends cannot save my iPhoto attachments in Mail: what's wrong?

I use iPhoto to mail pictures to my family; some of whom (still) have Windows computers (the poor buggers). Unfortunately they can only save individual pictures one by one, not "Save all attachments" as Mac's Mail app allows. While in Mac's Mail application the email appears with attachments, in Window there are no attachments, but the pictures seem to have become part of the message itself
I have tried to change the format to Rich Text or Plain Text (in Mail>Preferences>Composing>Message Format), but this does not seem to make any difference.
Any suggestions/pointers/solutions/clarification? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Veit

In addition to Terence's suggestion have you tried using the windows friendly attachments option in Mail?
