Attachments not showing as attachments in mail

Why are my attachments not showing up as attachments when recieved. They are sent from Mail as windows "friendly" - but never the less always show up inlaid in the mail. The recipient then have to ctrl clik on the documents, save them on the harddrive before being able to fx print.
very annoying indeed - please can anyone help on this :-)

thanks for quick responce - but the problem lies with the recievers of MY mails - where the attachments is only inlaid and not showing as an attachment. The reciever then have problems opening attachments in i.e. Photoshop, and they cannot print the attachments directly from the mail..

  • Number of attachments not showing up in Sent mail list

    Since I migrated mail from my MacBook Pro running Leopard to my shiny new MacBook Pro running Lion (I used Migration Assistant), when I look at my Sent Mail box I don't see the number of attachments listed (I'm using the Classic mail format).  I can see emails previous to my migration showing the number of attachments in the Sent mailbox.  When I look at View Columns, Attachment is checked. I've executed the View Rebuild command on the Sent folder.  References to attachment (the paper clip) doesn't appear in the newer Lion mode either.  I also did a Disk Utility rebuild permissions command and the number of attachments still don't show up.  I do see the number of attachments noted in the InBox.  Maybe someone has some insight on this problem?

    really nobody else has ever heard of this issue?

    END;This is working, but the problem that i have is that the attachment differs depending on the mail client.
    Using thunderbird i can see in the header of the mail that there is an attachment and when opening the message i can see the attached file, but when i send this to an gmail account the header doesn't show an attachment and the body of the mail contains a file 'noname'.
    If i send multple attachments these are viewed correctly from thunderbird but the gmail account tends to show them as one 'noname' file which is the whole block of the email.
    Teo

    This is not a database issue, but probably more a question of correct MIME format.
    I suggest in your gmail account to try to click "Show original" - that will show you the exact content of the MIME you are sending.
    Verify that the MIME email is correctly built - it could be that Thunderbird is more "forgiving" and does not mind a little error.
    If that does not find the issue, I suggest trying a forum of MIME/SMTP experts, not database experts ;-)

  • Attachments not showing up in Mail

    Do anyone have a usable solution for getting attachments to show up correctly in Mail? Every time I receive emails with an Excel or .csv, or for that matter .psd, .pdf or .doc files in them, the attachments never show up in the message body field or listed among the attachments.
    To give you an example: My list view of emails show the email with the paper clip icon and "4 items", but only 3 items are visible from both the preview window and when I open the email.
    I know there is a work around by selecting File > Save attachments, but come on that is not really a viable solution in an office setting when I receive 100-200 html emails with attachments, logos and other stuff on a daily basis.
    Do any of you kind superusers found a usable solution for this problem that doesn't involve saving everything attached from the File menu?
    Br,
    Christian
    And Apple... come on... you have got to be kidding with this #€#%!!! How can you be expected to be taken seriously as a productivity tool when something as simple as receiving attachments doesn't work. I feel like an idiot having purchased a MacBook Pro but still have to use Entourage because the most basic stuff isn't working as intended! (end of rant)

    This sounds like either the sender's or the recipient's (your) mail server is scrambling the attachments. This is becoming more and more common as ISPs try to scan for viruses and phishing attempts. If this is what is going of, it is very easy to detect. If you want, you can send one of these messages to me and I can tell you if my hypothesis is correct. Send the message to info at etresoft dot com and use the "Send Again" feature, not "Forward".

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Some emails not deleting or not showing up in my Mail window.

    My Mail program is having many problems--Some emails will be deleted but show up again when I reopen my Mail window, I cannot see emails in my draft folder, and there are times when emails sent to me are not showing up in my Mail window. I've redownloaded the mail program using my Tiger disk three times, but it never solves the problem. I'm about to reload my whole Tiger software, but I'm afraid I'll lose my 10.4.7 updates.
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    OK. In order to fix the problem, we need to re-create the index. Problem is, Mail may or may not choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for it or perform the optional steps 1 and 3:
    1. (Optional, but recommended). Try to find in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/ the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
    2. Quit Mail.
    3. (Optional, but recommended). If you found the troublesome *.emlx files in step 1, move them to the Trash.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
    5. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
    7. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate the *.mbox folder that corresponds to the mailbox you created to try to isolate the troublesome messages, and move it to the Trash. Again, I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
    8. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

  • Attachments Not Showing up for Sort in Sent Mail

    In Lion Mail, the small paper clip icon that indicates an attachment is not showing up in the sent messages list. I'm using classic view and often I need to sort by attachments. I recently upgraded to an iMac with Lion. The attachment icons are appearing for emails that I sent in the past on my old machine and imported into Mail when I set it up, but any emails I've sent in Mail 5.1 are not showing the attachment icon for sorting.
    When I mail myself an attachment, the attachment icon IS appearing in my inboxes lists, but not in the sent list.
    I've played with attachments settings to see if I can figure out why, but had no luck. Anyone know a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Michael - I too have exactly the same problem in Lion. It seems to be a bug.
    A minor one, given all the other much larger issues I have with Lion.
    I'm living with it in the expectation that someone will fix it. I notified it ages ago - long before the recent Lion update.
    I am mainly using Snow Leopard. This problem doesn't happen in Snow.

  • Mail - GMAIL - Attachments Not Showing UP

    Suddenly on my iPad, for no apparent reasons, some of emails with attachments are showing up just plain ordinary emails with no attachments. There is no paperclip logo on the e-mail. I logged into the account on Safari browser and it appears those emails have been classified as an inline attachment. Again no paperclip logo on the emails. But, I am not sure that would be the reason behind the sudden disappearance of attachments on iPad because when I initially received those emails I could open/view the attachments on iPad. I did forward the e-mail to quite few people, though.
    On my iPhone (3G, iOS 4.2) I don't appear to have the problem.
    I have restarted iPad. I have re setup the account, etc. But still nothing.
    What could be the cause?

    I have this happen all the time; it seems to be a known bug with Mail, and Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing it. Every week or so Mail will stop showing attachments. If I quit Mail and restart it, then it shows them and everything's fine. It's extremely annoying.

  • Mail 5: does not show some attachments if not config'd as Exchange

    One of my email accounts resides on an Exchange 2010 server. I clean installed Lion the other day, but ever since early Snow Leopard builds, I had this issue where every now and again, emails received on that Exchange account would have attachments that did not show up when the message was viewed in Apple Mail. These are not unusual attachments. We're talking a .doc or two. An email with one attachment might appear attachment-less in Mail, and one with five attachments might appear as if it had four attachments in Mail.
    The same is happening in Mail 5 on Lion. Here's how it goes:
    1. When the account is configured as Exchange IMAP, a message received today with one .doc attachment appears without the attachment.
    2. When the account is deleted and readded as IMAP, the same happens.
    3. When the account is deleted and readded as good old Exchange, the message appears properly -- attachment and all.
    Decided to try this after seeing that the attachment was showing just fine on my iPhone which connects via Exchange, not IMAP.
    I'm curious. Anyone have any thoughts on why this is?

    I've seen this behavior on both Snow Leopard and Lion as well, although I haven't linked it to the mail protocol being used.  Sometimes even on my iPhone and iPad.  It's variable, unpredictable and inconsistent.  I'm sure somewhere buried in the arcana that is modern multi-part MIME messages there's an answer, but I'll be darned if I know what it is.  All I can suggest is filing a bug report with Apple.

  • Mail attachments NOT showing in header as in Snow Leopard

    This has to deal with incoming attachments.
    Snow Leopard Maikl has a line in the header that said "1 Attachement, 534KB"  and a grey disclosure triangle that would show the attachments as icons.
    I cannot find this anywhere in Lion Mail.  Does anyone know how to activate this?  It's a real pain in the a s s to sift through the body of the email for attachments when just clicking the disclosure triangle was so much more efficient. 

    Interesting.
    I have such this info displayed on my emails with attachments.
    Do you see the "Details" thingy at the upper right hand corner of the message window?
    If so, click on it.

  • Why do Apple Mail attachments not show in SENT?

    I use Mountain Lion OSX10.8.2 on a 27" iMac/1TB HD/12GB RAM.
    When I write an Apple Mail email and attach a jpg (for example),
    I am never sure if the attachment was sent.
    Apple Mail will not show me in SENT that there was an attachment.
    There is no record of the attachment on the previous sent email.
    Am I missing something? How the heck am I suppose to know if
    ANY attachment was sent or not?

    Hmm I thought this got sorted out in 10.8 but maybe not.
    I asume you are in full screen, with the three column view?
    If you change to classic you should see the attachment paper clip?
    What I had to do for a work-a-round was create a "rule." Even with this you have to right click the selected sent box>> apply rules

  • Outlook 2010/Outlook365/ not showing some attachments

    We are plagued with random situations where emails coming with inline attachmnets are not showing in outlook
    2010 If attachments. Forward the message to a different mail provider , for example yahoo mail  the exact same messages show attachments as expected! So in other words, the attachments really are there but for some reason when the messages come through
    the Office365/Exchange 2013 server Outlook 2010 won't show them and the message has to be forwarded to a different email system to get at the attachments.
    Await reply from Microsoft 

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the Outlook attachment problem, please follow these steps: -
    All versions of Outlook include a security feature that blocks attachments that might put your computer at risk for viruses or other threats. You can still open the attachments
    that Outlook blocks by using one of the following methods: -
    Use a file share to access the attachment.
    Use a file compression utility to change the file name extension.
    Rename the file to have a different file name extension.
    Follow these steps to save the attachment and rename it to use the original file name extension:
    Locate the attachment in the e-mail.
    Right-click the attachment, and then click
    Copy.
    Right- click the desktop, and then click
    Paste.
    Right-click the pasted file, and then click
    Rename.
    Rename the file to use the original file name extension,
    such as .exe.
    4. Ask the Exchange server administrator to change the security settings.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Attachments not showing in window (i.e. no paperclip icon)

    I have seen this problem elsewhere on here, but not seen a solution so far. I'm on MobileMe emap - Apple Mail Version 3.5 (930.3).
    Basically I have a number of emails I have sent with attachments, but when I look at my list, the paperclip icons do not show up. However, if I highlight that email, then the paperclip icon pops up. This is a bit annoying when you are trying to quickly see if you remembered to attach the attachment.
    It looks like it has to download the attachment before it can display the paperclip? I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, but no joy.
    I thought it was a bug in Mail 3.5, but I haven't seen many others complaining!?

    Sounds like the same issue. Along with this problem, I sometimes try to open an email and I get the message that it's not been downloaded to my email system (even on older emails) and it asks if you want to download it.
    So I suspect this problem is caused by the system not recognising the attachment is there, because at that point in time it isn't!
    But when you click it, it evokes the request to check if there is an email and then it shows to paperclip.
    As you can imagine, it's difficult to test this theory by clicking on an appropriate email, because you don't know which emails have a 'hidden' attachment!

Maybe you are looking for
