Attachments sent from my mac to a mac can be seen but aren't attached

Hello, I send out press releases regularly that have jpegs attached to them.
About 2 weeks ago, I took my g5 for a complete check up... updates etc.
at the great Apple store in Syracuse. This weekend I sent out a batch of press releases with 2 jpegs attached, so far I have heard from one, also a mac user, saying he could see the images but that they were not attachments and he could do nothing with them.
Here is what I have done/tried.
Resent 3x, Once with the attachments selected via the attach button with windows friendly attachments clicked. Once with windows friendly attachments NOT clicked. The 3rd try, I just dragged and dropped the Jpegs from my folder onto the email. None of these worked.
any suggestions? please keep it basic, I bought my macs because I am not ultra tech-ish. Thank you
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't use a signature.
I am not aware of this happening before... of course I wonder if it has anything to do with the recent and multiple updates that were done. I have dial up and cannot download updates successfully so I made the 200 mile + round trip journey to the Apple store for help after owning the G5 for one year without doing any updates. (By the way, I am VERY happy with this machine)
I was not familiar with the term Plain Text so I have consulted my The OSX missing manual... the setting was Rich Text so I will try an attachment on an email in Plain Text and let you know.
Thank you.

Trouble opening email attachments sent from another mac

When I try to open email attachments from my new email acct at Charter.net they come out as giberish! Charter is unable to help me. They have no idea why this is happening. with my hotmail acct I can open them inconsistantly. I am sending things from my work mac to my mac at home. Both use system 10 and both computers have Word so that can't be the problem. I also make sure that the attachments say .doc in the title of the attachment. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

DOS 8.3 refers back to the pre-Windows days when file names were restricted to no more than 8 characters in the filename plus a three letter extension that identified the type of file; e.g., filename.doc for Word documents. A surprisingly amount of Windows code is still based on DOS, and some programs still behave oddly if you try using longer filenames or filenames with spaces or non-standard (letters and numbers and underscores) in the name.
On the Entourage machines, check Preferences> Compose and make sure the 'encode for' pull-down fiels reads 'any computer (Apple Double)'.
Your correct that Hotmail is rather well-known for mungling attachments sent from Macs. For that matter, it's prone to mungle attachments sent from or read by any browser other than Internet Explorer for Windows (e.g., if you use Firefox on Windows, Hotmail will corrupt the mail's formatting). It's possible to have either Safari or Firefox to pretend to be IE for Windows but I've never found that to actually help with Hotmail, probablly because it's checking for ActiveX which is Windows only. I have no knowledge of charter.net or how it's webmail works. One thing that may help with either email at home: try saving the attachments to the hard drive and then open the program you want to use and open the saved file from within the program (as opposed to trying to open the attachment from within the webmail browser or saving the attachment to disk and double-clicking it on the desktop to launch the associated program).
One thing that might work well is to bypass the webamil approach at home and use a stand-alone mail program, such as Apple's own Mail program in the applications folder or the free download of Mozilla Thunderbird. You mention using Entourage at school; that suggests you'd qualify for the student-teacher version of Microsoft Office, which would let you use Entourage at home as well (that's essentially my home Mac situation; Entourage-to-Entourage works quite well).

Attachments sent from iPad

Attachments sent from my iPad, the recipients can't see them. Why?

The recipients receiving my email attachments sent from my iPad, received on their computers ( Windows), do not get the attachment ???.?

Mail sent from my .Mac acct. to my ATT/SBC acct. never arrives - ANYWHERE

I have a .Mac mail account as well as an ATT/SBC/Yahoo account from my provider. My problem is any email sent from my .Mac account to the SBC account never gets delivered. It just vanishes into the ether: phhhht, poof. No return-as-undeliverable mailer-daemon bounce, no alarms, nothing. Nada. Ziltch. It just goes poof, never to be seen again. I have no idea where these test emails go. The only thing I do know is that they never reach their intended destination.
This makes me increasingly paranoid as I now wonder how much of the email sent from my main .Mac address vanishes! All of the tests with all accounts and their aliases work perfectly fine in both directions. It's just this one instance that seems to be mysteriously quirky: emails sent to my ATT address from my .Mac account.
Could Certificates have anything to do with this issue? I tend to doubt it.
Any ideas would be helpful here. It's drivin' me nuts, I tells ya, nuts!

The prblem is not in our stars, dear Brutus, but with our "BLOCK" list in our SBC/AT&T mail prefes setup! Huh!

Sound like a pfishing email rather than your account being hacked. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933.

Where do I find photos I have sent from my Mac to my iPhone?

Where do I find photos I have sent from my Mac to my iPhone? I have synced the 2 multiple times, but I do not see any new photos in my camera roll.

When yiou sync photos from your computer to your phone (by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), the photos should appear in a new album called Photo Library on your phone. (They do not appear in the camera roll).

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

No, not unless you have a backup for the important data on your Mac stored on an external drive or some other external media that includes the iPhone's backup.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
Apple - My Apple ID
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions. See:

I sent an email from a Mac. However when I check my email account it doesn't show the email that I sent from the Mac. Did it actually send?

My email account is Yahoo if that matters.

If you went through the wizard to set up your email, it's probably set to POP, then.
I found this article with instructions, and it doesn't make any mention of IMAP.
What this means is that messages you send from your Mac (using Mail on your Mac or iPhone), will not show up when you check your email on the web.
You will probably also notice that messages you read on your Mac (again, using Mail) won't show up as read when you check your email using Safari or another web browser.

Image attachments sent from Cameraroll are displayed inline/embedded - why?

Dear community!
I often send pictures from the camera-roll by email to several email-addresses.
I would like the recipient to recieve the email with the images as attachments, but now, they are displayed as "inline" / "embedded" images in the mail body, instead of file attachments. Some of my recievers are using a CMS system to handle inbound email, and in these cases, when the images are embedded, they will not recieve the attachments correctly in their system.
Is there any settings to toggle this ?
Best regards,
Daniel

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iOS Mail app displays all image attachments as inline or viewed in place, which is not the same as embedded. Photos are sent as true attachments to the email.
Depending on the recipient's email client, a photo attached to an email will appear inline or viewed in place (as with the Mail app on a Mac or with the iOS Mail app), or as an attached file only which must be opened separately to be viewed, which the sending email client has no control over.
When I receive a photo attachment sent by Outlook that appears as an attached file only with the sent email in Outlook, the photo appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the email with the Mail app on my Mac and with the iOS Mail app with my iPhone and iPad, which Outlook has no control over.
You cannot change how an attached photo or image appears in the message body with the iOS Mail app, and an attached photo or image that appears inline or viewed in place is not the same as embedded. The iOS Mail app does not support composing in HTML, which is required to embed an image.
