Attachments no longer show as icons in emails

10.6.4 iMac, MacMail
When I selected an attachment it used to always appear as an icon at wherever my cursor was in the email. Now it suddenly appears at the end of the message (which is nice) but is displayed all over the email so I have to right-click and select "display as an icon" every time. At first the first attachment would be an icon but if there was a second it was displayed there - now ANY attachment shows up all over the email. How to stop it?

Okay, well, as I said, for me, anything that can be rendered in one page, is, and if it is multi-page, isn't. Multiple single-pages all render. Toss in one or more multi-page, in any order, into the mix, and all the singles render in-line, in the order that they occurred in the group of attachments, and all the multi-pages show up as file icons, in the order that they occurred in the group of attachments. At least that's how it is on multiple machines to which I have access.
Bad news for you, I bet Apple regards this as a "feature," not a bug. Because they already know what you want and need.
Perhaps some smart person could weigh in here and advise as to whether there is some obscure setting that could be changed by modifying com.apple.mail.plist or by using some hidden features revealer program like an Onyx.
My only suggested work-around would be to zip it (them) before you attach (one or more files highlighted/selected > right-click > compress).
And if you are talking about sending, there is no guarantee as to how the receiver's email program will treat the attachments, anyways. Even though rendered in-line on your end (or not), the receiver may only get a pile of file icons (or may render in-line) (of course, MacMail users will render in-line just like you).

  • Screenshots no longer showing image icon

    HI
    I recently upgraded my mac mini to the new 2010 version. My Screenshots are no longer showing image icon (thumbnail) as they did on my old 2008 mini?

    Quite so; they now show a generic PNG icon. The change came with SL. You'll also note that the naming convention for them has changed.

  • Phone numbers are no longer showing up on my email and text as links to call

    Phone numbers are no longer showing up in my messages and on my emails as links so that I can call the number directly.

    I too am having the same problem, and use the *228 then killing all my open apps solution to bring my numbers back to the correct format.  However, as just a one time fix, I keep on getting the same problem again after a few weeks, and last week, after a few days of doing the *228 fix.  Does anyone know what is causing this problem on Verizon iPhones?  As a point of information, I was previously on AT&T with my iPhones until my wife transferrred me over to Verizon (on her business account because she wanted to surprise me with a new iPhone 4S).

  • Window no longer shows split of actual email on top/received on bottom

    My email window used to show the list of received on a bottom portion of the window, while showing content of whatever email was selected. I can't find where to make this happen again. Help!

    You are posting in the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier dsicussion. Is that where you want to be? If so, Mail 1.3.11 in Panther 10.3.9 normally shows the list of emails in the top frame and the text of the selected email in the lower. You can change the size of the frames by clicking and dragging the border between them up or down.

  • InDesign CS4 no longer shows triangle icon for modified images in Links

    My InDesign crashed the other day, and now it no longer gives me the yellow triangular icon in the Links panel to indicate that and image has been modified and needs to be updated. I typically do not connect the image to the original via Indesign, but work in Photoshop independently. This has never been a problem. After I update the image in PS, the triangle instantly appears in ID so I can click on it and update the image.
    I can still click on the refresh button to update the image, but I would like those indicators back since it helps me with older documents - so I can know which images actually need the update and which do not.
    I have restarted the panel and launched and closed bridge as suggested in other older discussions, and it didn't make a difference. I also noticed that the if I do try to open the original image via ID with Open With, the icon for PS, for example, does not take me to PS (it opens the image in Windowd Paint). This makes me wonder is the whole connection between ID and PS is messed up. How do I fix that connection?

    I will also add that the Edit With paths are completely messed up, but only within ID. If I choose to open in PS, it may open it in Firefox, IE, Paint or Windows preview. And then next time, choose a different app. Eventually Photoshop won't even be an option anymore. If I choose Other and choose PS, then it works. If I go in bridge or anywhere else in Windows and choose PS from Open With, then it works fine. This is just an ID problem.

  • New skype no longer shows call icons as "incoming"...

    In the contact chat history for a single contact, he old Skype client would show an incoming call icon as a "phone receiver with an inward pointing arrow", and show an outgoing call as a "phone receiver with an outward pointing arrow".  This was vital information, to know if that call was one you made vs one you answered.  The new client shows only a "phone receiver".  Why on earth?  PLEASE can you restore the ability to see via the icon whether the call was incoming or outgoing?

    All the old computers I own branded or unbranded have been fully compatible with XP SP3.  If for some reason you couldn't get your computer functional in XP SP3, you could always utilize the workaround I posted here to modify XP SP2 just enough to make Skype functional.  I have a triple XP OS boot computer (XP 64-bit SP2, XP 32-bit SP2 [with workaround], XP 32-bit SP3) and they all operate just fine with the latest release of Skype (7.1).

  • IPhone emailed pictures no longer showing up as attachments after update to IOS 6.1.3

    When emailing photos, they no longer show up in my Outlook email as attachments after I updated my iPhone4S to IOS6.1.3.  They did just prior to this update. Anyone know why?

    You should be able to right click and save the or copy the image. But, there may be a configuration in Outlook that is determining how the attachement is encoded or handled preventing this. (could also be on teh Exchange server).
    For what it is worth, I test from my iPhone to my work account (Outlook client via Exchange server) and did have an issue.
    Do you use a signature on your iPhone? If not, set one and try that. I know it sounds odd, but give it a go.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • Text/missed call indicator icons no long showing

    This is a minor thing, but I prefer to have the area below the clock and above the list of icons to show me alerts such as that I have a text msg or a missed call or a voicemail.  It was doing this before but for some reason now all I get is the blinking red light but the alert icons are no longer showing up.
    I looked through the forums and couldnt find anything also tried to mess with settings but haven't come up with anything.
    Thanks if you can help.

    Emails and Texts will always have an audio and vibration (if turned on) cue when something comes in.  Text messages and toasts will turn on the phone to show you the message for a brief period same as the iPhone and any Andriod device.
    In regards to a notification light, no such thing in Windows Phone Nokia devices.
    All you have to do is turn on the phone and on the lock screen you should see your missed calls, emails and texts.  Toast messages will not be displayed on the lock screen.  We'll have to wait for Windows Phone 8.1 next month to get a notification center type interface.

  • EMAIL ATTACHMENTS NO LONGER HAVE OPEN OPTION (ONLY...

    I am using BT email (I have Windows 8.1), and last week by email suddenly stopped offering the Open attacment option, and I could only Save the attachment . I have contacted BT Live help and they recommended re-setting Internet options (which I have done), checking Security levels (done) and also trying Google Chrome then opening emails through it.  I have tried to install Google Chrome but this does not allow me to "Run" it (again only offering the Save option).
    Can anyone help please?. Incidentally I did try my emails today in Outlook and they can download correctly there, but I prefer  the BT set up. Also my BT email works fine for attachments on our laptop.

    hi I have tried looking at BT emails through Chrome but I still have the same problem. Also the images for emails are no longer showing, even though I have checked the Mail Options (there is no "Show images" button either on these emails).
    I have also tried troubleshooting via the Control panel but nothing has changed. I am able to Save the attachments via a temporary file then open them that way, but as I have a lot , this is not Ideal.
    many thanks for any suggestions (please!)

  • My settings icon is no longer showing.  How do get back on my screen?

    My settings icon is no longer showing on my iPad screen.  I can found it when I search for it.  But I how do I get the icon on my screen? Thanks in advance foray help you provide.

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, also how many screens of apps have you got on the iPad (there is a maximum of 11) ?
    You could try a reset and see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Of you could try resetting your homescreens via Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout and see if you can then find it.

  • I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging.  When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point.  Is it dead for good?

    I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging.  When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point.  Is it dead for good?

    If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery.  If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources.  Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
    (Note:  Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
    You can also have a repair business do the work.
    If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.

  • My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help!

    My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help! I have shut off phone I have tried to change the time for how long the mail will show up but nothing is working

    Do you mean you don't get notified of new emails automatically (eg. on the Lock Screen)?  This could be because this function is turned off in Settings > Notifications.  It could also be that the email account you use is having problems with its PUSH service, if it offers one.
