Attachments show as text

It happened to me twice now that I got an email with attachments, I believe both times it was through my .mac account, which makes Mail painfully slow to begin with.
Anyway, it has this funky behavior of showing a message before the attachments are downloading, so you start seeing the attached content as it downloads, but if you switch to another message and then back to the message with attachments they end up being gone...it's all text.
In the last case it even "forgot" the sender's name and address in the header.
It just went blank.
Well, I guess that's called a bug, but I thought I post it here anyways...

My only reference to POP was to say that I do not receive many large attachments in my .mac account, and yes, I would NOT expect any problems with your POP accounts.
My statement about IMAP accounts was made because .mac accounts, set up as .mac type (you can use POP, but .mac is default when setting up) operate in the same way as IMAP accounts. IMAP access in Mail 2.0 is flawed, and with some IMAP servers, attachments, or at least large attachments, simply do not display, and we have found no setting or other change to correct.
I have not seen the same problem reported, previously, for a .mac account. I would like to know the number of messages in your .mac Inbox, and also what is the size reported for the messages where the attachments show as text?
I also would like you to test with selecting to NOT save messages and their attachments for Offline viewing -- there is no risk to messages, as they remain on the server, but it could be important to see if this makes any change to your situation.

  • E mail attachments showing entire text instead of just an icon

    can some tell me where to find the settings to keep the attachments in an email as just the icon not the entire text showing in the body
    example - when I attach a PDF article to an email the entire text shows in the body instead of just the icon - HELP
    THANKS

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This cannot be changed, except to temporarily View as Icon while composing, and that will have no impact on how the recipient sees the attachment (which is a true attachment even though View in Place is used). To learn how Mail treats single page PDF vs multi-page PDF, read:

  • How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

    Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
    Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
    I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
    1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
    2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

    Hi,
    You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
    Following idea could be your task flow
    Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
    |
    v
    Router
    1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
    2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
    hope it helps,

  • Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

    Hi everyone
    I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
    I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
    a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
    The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
    and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
    It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

    I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
    The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

  • InfoPath 2013 - Rich Text box - Expand to show all text option not working

    I have create an InfoPath form and created a view which will be used for printing. I have a rich text box in this print view and the scroll option for this rich text box is set to "Expand to show all text". However, it is not working and it doesn't
    expand the size of the text box based on the content length.
    same thing used to work in InfoPath 2010.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Neelesh

    Hi Wendy,
    Here are the steps I have used:
    1. On default view added a rich text box.
    2. Created another view called Print and mapped it to the same Field which I added to default view
    3. Set the Wrap text and Expand to show all text on both the Rich Text Box Properties - in default view and in Print
    view. Also set the height of the rich text box to auto.
    4. Set the print views as the print view for default view
    5. Deployed the form to SharePoint Form Library
    6. Opened the form in browser
    7. Entered the content in the rich text box in default view. It expands well if I have much content
    8. Clicked on Print preview and that opens up the print preview and it shows the rich text box only one line in height and with scroll bar
    I missed to mention that it is a web browser enabled form and I am using InfoPath 2013 and SP 2013.
    It does work fine in InfoPath client.
    Thanks.

  • Advanced actions - trying to show a text caption

    I have a slide with 5 text captions made from smart shapes, and 5 click boxes. All 5 smart shapes are hidden. I have 5 variables, all of which are set to zero. When a click box is clicked on, the corresponding smart shape shows and the value of the first user variable is set to one. When another click box is clicked on the corresponding smart shape shows and the next user variable is set to 1. Each of the click boxes is set up in a similar fashion. I set up 5 advanced actions, and the On Success action for each of the click boxes uses one of 5 advanced actions. The action for each click box looks something like this (I'm using generic names for this example):
    IF variable1 is equal to 0
    ACTIONS
    Show textCaption1
    Assign variable1 with 1
    Play Audio sound.wav
    Continue
    This is working fine, and the corresponding smart shapes are showing as they should when each of the click boxes is clicked on.
    But I have an additional feedback text caption that I want to show after all 5 smart shapes are showing. I tried setting up an advanced action that looks like this:
    IF
    variable1 is equal to 1 AND
    variable2 is equal to 1 AND
    variable3 is equal to 1 AND
    variable4 is equal to 1 AND
    variable5 is equal to 1
    ACTIONS
    Show feedbackTextCaption
    But even after all of the click boxes have been clicked (which should set each of the 5 variables to 1), the feedback text caption does not show.
    Can anyone help with a suggestion?

    @Sreekanth, that is not the correct approach, because a user could click 5 times on the same click box and see the final text caption. Only when you disable an already clicked interactive object this can be used. Jay was right by choosing five different variables.
    @Jay How do you trigger that last conditional action? Which event do you use? You explain that the first described action is triggered by the click box, but not what is triggering the conditional action.
    I suspect you'll have to combine both actions, and assign them to each click box. That means a conditional action with two decisions:
    First decision 'Always' needs the condition 'IF 1 is equal to 1' to create a mimicked standard action, and has to show the text caption, to assign 1 to the variable and to play the audio. I don't know why you added 'Continue'? If the click boxes pause all at the same moment, don't add Continue, let the playhead remain at the same location.
    Second decision 'Checker' is the conditional action that you wrote, checking the values of the 5 variables, and if they have all the value 1 to show the feedback text.

  • How can I get Lion to show password text in plain characters?

    In all earlier versions of the Mac OSX, I had the option of showing at least new passwords in plain text instead of dots. Was an advantage over Windoze.
    I also had the option NOT to show password text.
    Since I moved up to Lion, all passwords show as dots. I find no option to do otherwise. Can this be changed?

    I have the same problem.  Does anyone have an answer?

  • How to show long text in TextView control in formatted form?

    Hi,
    I have requirement to show long text from backend text edit control to WD application. I am using READ_TEXT Fm to read the long text and passing it to text view UI element.
    The text is shown in simply one long line but I want it to show in the same format as stored in backend textedit control.
    If I take textedit UI control then it shows the text in formatted form.
    Could you please let me know how to achieve these for TextView control? My requirement is that I have to use only TextView control.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    Hi,
    The Problem solved to some extend but still the exact formatting is not happening though i am using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
    for eg. if the long text is as below.
    "To display the external component, you can now embed an interface view of any window of this component in a window of your current embedding a view of oneu2019s own component. By setting up navigation from one outbound plug of a view of your inbound plug of the inter external component, you enable the external component to be displayed. New line ."
    and if in backend the Last line " New line ." is on next line, on WD it is not displayed on next line.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

  • Attachments received as text in Mail

    I have my email set-up as an IMAP account using Mail 3.5 under OS 10.5.6. I am having a reoccurring problem receiving attachments as plain text within the message. It happens with a variety of file types: .jpg, .xls, .igs. Rather than displaying the attached file available for download, the message contains a bunch of scrambled characters. Often, when I have the sender email again, the message displays correctly. I've tried clearing cache, but it does not help. I even re-created the IMAP account within Mail. It seems like others have posted similar problems, but haven't yet found a solution. The weird thing, is I can access the attachment from the IMAP web interface of my host.
    I do have growl mail and mail iconizer, but have tried removing, but it didn't help.
    Any ideas? This is annoying.

    Similar/same problem here.
    Sometimes, the attachments aren't recognized as attachment when downloaded using an IMAP Mail account.
    The fun is that downloading the same message using the terminal the "header" of the attachment is different from that one inside the message downloaded from Mail.
    Here there are the two different attachment's headers.
    FTP downloaded message (and working)
    ------=NextPart_001_020101C9D4AD.FC916EB0--
    ------=NextPart_000_020001C9D4AD.FC916EB0
    Content-Type: application/pdf;
    name="marelago.pdf"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment;
    filename="marelago.pdf"
    Mail's downloaded message
    ------=NextPart_001_020101C9D4AD.FC916EB0--
    ------=NextPart_000_020001C9D4AD.FC916EB0
    Content-Disposition: attachment;
    filename=marelago.pdf
    Content-Type: application/pdf;
    name=marelago.pdf
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Seems that Mail changes this attachment's header.
    There is some Mail setting that I am not able to find or...it's a bug?

  • Show standard texts on document

    Hi all,
    Our customers have the need to show some text on the bottom of some documents (invoice, order confirmation). Normally, I would use SO10 for the text. No problem there.
    In general, those texts have a limited time in which they should be printed on the documents. Is there a way (or table) in which you can define texts as well as a start date and/or an ending date?
    Any other solution is also welcome
    Thanks.

    Hi Karin,
    it just depends on what date is the correct one to check. Todays date is in SY-DATUM always included and always available.
    In your case, it is a invoice and I can imagine that the VBRK-ERDAT (date when the invoice is created) or even the VBRK-FKDAT (date when the invoice is booked) maybe also a good solution.
    Both fields are included in the structure VBDKR by the way
    For your order confirmation have a look in table VBAK / VBDKA. The fields there are ERDAT and AUDAT I think.
    The select statement should look something like that:
    Select single ... from     yourtable
                            into     yourstructure
                            where datefrom <= sy-datum
                               and dateto    >= sy-datum.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
    *whatever you want to do now
    ENDIF.

  • Can I export just the "show" conditional text to a mif?

    When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf, just the conditional text that is set to "show" (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf.  That's good, but I want the same thing when exporting a mif.  There are two reasons for this:
    (1)  We have an in-house tool that parses a mif and extracts data from certain tables to populate a database.  The tool doesn't parse pdfs.  And the tool won't always handle conditional text correctly, particularly conditional text table rows.  The tool would work fine if the conditional text were already "resolved" during the export to mif.
    (2)  I'd like to use the Boolean logic for conditional text that is available in FM9, but I need to furnish files to other groups in the company that use FM7.  Their FM7 wouldn't display conditional text properly if it depended on anything other than OR logic.  But they would be happy to accept mif files that didn't have any conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a mif7 file for them.
    I've tried various ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and the editable text. I'd be willing to accomplish this in some round-about fashion involving Framemaker, Acrobat Pro and/or some other tool. 
    But the happiest outcome for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export just the "show" conditional text and the unconditional text to a mif. 
    Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?

    Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?
    Writing a custom script to filter the MIF to parse out the conditions is non-trivial. You can try a Google search for an existing filter or script that does the job. However, if there is no such thing, then you're on the right track, getting FM to do the hard part - filtering the conditionalized content correctly. For example:
    * In a copy of the original file, delete the condition(s) you want to hide; during the deletion, you have the option to delete the corresponding text. Then save as MIF to a descriptive name, or save as .fm to a new name, then open and save that file as MIF. Close the source file without saving.
    * Reopen the source file and do the same process from this fresh instance, deleting the condition(s) you want to show. Save as above.
    * Within FM itself, however, there's no way to automate this process. With one of the free FM utilities - dobatch from cudspan, or dzbatcher from datazone - you can script opening and saving an FM file as MIF. Search Google for dobatch, cudspan, dzbatcher, or datazone.
    * To automate setting the conditions, a keystroke-macro recorder might serve, otherwise you'd need the commercial FrameScript product, and a customized script if there's no existing script for this purpose. For FrameScript info, check with Rick Quattro at frameexpert.com. 
    * If you're using Structured FrameMaker and have the expertise available to customize an EDD, you could take advantage of the "filter by attribute" feature, but it's not trivial to adopt Structured FM just for this narrowly-focused need.
