Attachments truncate email messages

When I use Apple's mail program and send attachments; - sometimes the mail gets truncated immediately before the first attachment insert. THere is no error message for the recipient, so it just looks like an oddly truncated text message. I am using a POP server and plain text message formats.
I am at my wits end so any help would be appreciated

You're welcome.
There is no email client that is completely bug free and for such an old/mature email client, Outlook still has a number of glaring bugs.
I'm not sure if this is a bug with Mail or more so with Outlook but the information provided in my previous post remains the same. You gain nothing by inserting attachments within/between message text for the most part and especially when such messages are sent to an Outlook user - regardless if the message gets truncated which may be a Mail bug, a bug with Outlook or a combination. You can't insert attachment within/between message text with Outlook so this should be treated the same way.
Overall it is best to place attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
The Sent Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for one thing only. Removing the Apple resource fork from attached files which are invisible to fellow Mac users.

Saving attachments from email messages

All,
I have a curve 8900 which I purchased recently. I am subscribed to BIS and have downloaded Desktop Manager v4.7. I have updated all my device software and I am still not getting the "download attachment" option on the options menu when viewing a message.
Is there a particular setting or software update I need to do in order to be able to save the attachments on my media card?
Thanks.

Whats happen if you highlight the attach and press menu, you can see Open attachment, and Download attachment?
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

Is it STILL impossible to remove individual attachments from Mail messages?

Could someone tell me if I just cannot find it anywhere, or does Apple's Mail for Mavericks 10.9.1 still not permit the removal of individual attachments from email messages?

The only way is to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. I know that is not a desirable solution..

Outllook clients sending partial messages / truncated email body

I am stumped on this one and could use a little help.
Several clients are experiencing partially truncated emails both sent and received.
It is happening on Outlook 2003 and 2010.
The Sent Items folder also shows the truncated email.
For instance, lets say I, Mike, type out a 1000 word email to my friend Jane. Jane receives an email that might only have a few sentences and it might cut off right in the middle of a sentence. I check my Sent Items and it only shows exactly what
Jane received which is much less than I typed. Most of my text has simply disappeared.
I see others with similar issues but it is usually the entire message body that is missing, not partial text missing.
I have opened the sent item using the web interface and it is the same problem.
The Exchange server is 2010 Standard Edition running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I recently updated all OS patches, Exchange SP3 and Update Rollup 4 for SP3 and my issue remains.
I have documented at least 1 case where the sender and receiver both have Outlook 2010, although most of my users have Outlook 2003.
In addition to all the troubleshooting listed above, I have also used every known to me AV scanning tool such as Combofix, RKILL, TDSkiller, MalwareBytes, HitmanPro etc.. Nothing out of the ordinary found.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
Also, here is a IT admin on another forum with the same issue. I am copying the text from my post over at experts-exchange
Same here. Exchange 2010 Standard 14.3 build 123.4 in a Win2008R2 SP1 with all latest updates installed.
Also this user in this thread has the same problem: Outgoing emails truncated.
After I read his thread and your thread, I think that it isn't an isolated problem...
Outgoing messages bodies are truncated. When it happens, only few words or few sentences remained. The rest of the typed text disappeared.
Affected messages are shown truncated in Outlook and also in OWA sent emails.
The problem began 2 weeks ago, but now it's spreading.
For now it seems in my company that only Outlook 2003 clients are affected.
At the beginning only 1 person reported me the problem, so I thought it was an isolated client problem. I tried to reinstall Outlook 2003, but it continued. Then I tried to install Outlook 2010 for troubleshooting purpose, and in the last week that person didn't
reported me any problem.
Then it began to spread. It happened to a different person. And then to another one. At the moment, 5 persons reported it. All these persons have Outlook 2003.
Maybe an automatic Windows update could have caused the problem in the clients?
It's hard to find out.
It seems that the problem is present in emails that take a long time to write them. Maybe the affected sent email is the first one auto-saved... For testing I disabled the auto-saving (every 3mn) drafts function in the affected Outlook 2003 clients. They reported
me no problem in the last days.
But I told them to always check sent emails and to continue to do that.
I will report as soon as I have new feedbacks.

Turn off "Auto-save messages every XX minutes"
Outlook sends the saved portion, not the entire email.
Note: This partial message is not saved in Drafts, but in memory.
Outlook 2007:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options
2. Make sure you are on the “Preferences” tab.
3. Click the “E-mail Options…” button.
4. Click the “Advanced E-Mail Options…” button (about half way down the window).
5. Uncheck the first checkbox “AutoSave items every:”
6. Click OK 3 times to close all the windows
Outlook 2010/2013:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options, and then click
Advanced E-mail Options.
Uncheck the AutoSave items every: x minutes check box.
In the minutes list, specify how often you want the program to save your data and the program state.
If you set more minutes in there, you only postpone the issue.
Turn it off.
Note: IMHO it is better to lose work and know it, than to think you sent an email when you really did not.

How do I prevent attachments from embedding into email messages in Lion on an Exchange Server?

I work in an Exchange Server environment, one of only two Macs in a building filled with Windows machines. When I was using Snow Leopard, I had to send attachments to my fellow workers using the same mail server via plain text messages, so that the attachments could be saved to their hard drives as separate files. If I tried to send attachments through html messages, they wouild automatically be embedded in such a way as to inhibit them from being saved to their hard drives.
Not the best solution, but it worked, unitl now.
Now that I've upgraded to Lion, the plain text work-around no longer works. As was explained to me by an IS person with more knowledge than I, that for some reason, Lion is automatically encoding attachments sent through the same mail server to users on the same Echange network as an embedded image, which can't be easily clicked on and saved as an individual file to some destination on a given computer.
I sent an attachment with Lion's mail to a PC user outside my company, and no problem. He is using Windows 7 and checked his mail remotely. In my company most people are using XP. The IS guy told me that for now, I will have to compress "zip" all of my attachments before sending until Apple solves this problem with Exchange server software.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, any other solutions? Will Apple address this problem?
Thanks,
Carl

I have heard of this situation before, but, like most Apple Mail problems, it is a problem on the recipient's side. There should be no reason that a recipient can't save an inline image from an e-mail message. For years, Apple has bent over backwards to construct messages that PC clients will be able to view. Obviously there are limits as to what they will do.
If you want to follow the standard procedure and hack up your e-mail for the benefit of others who refuse to upgrade, you can try Attachment Tamer. You could also try Microsoft Outlook. This won't change the underlying problem. It will just make it Microsoft's problem to deal with.

Why does my iPad no longer display email messages?

My iPad suddenly stopped showing the body of emails, both for my iCloud account and for my Google mail account. I discovered that if I click to either reply or forward a message a truncated version of it appears with no attachments or graphics. I didn't change any settings or anything before it happened. What do I do to get the body of email messages to show up again?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How do I open attachments in emails I have received?

How do I open attachments in emails I receive to view them before I send them on to friends?

Often, pictures or simple documents (eg, one-page PDFs) will appear directly within the message itself. You can also use the Quick Look button next to the attachments line (in the message header) to view and scroll through the files (provided they're viewable, and aren't compressed or binary files).
You can also click Save next to Quick Look to save the files to your Downloads folder.

How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?

Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.

try
 { String s1="";
 File f1 = new File(the path);

How to attach image files to an email message?

I use Mac Mail. When I attach an image file to an email message, the recipient gets it embedded in the message and not as a separate attachment. I'm assuming that the recipient uses a Windows computer, and I always send Windows-friendly attachments. What do I have to do to ensure that attachments are not embedded in an email message?
Thanks.

Sending attachments with emails in Javamail

I'm trying to send attachments with emails using Javamail. Following is the code through which I'm trying to achieve that. It works as expected on a JRE1.6 environment. But on JRE1.5, the content of the file gets added to the mail body as text.I want the file to be sent as an attachment.
Any pointers on the observed difference in behavior would be highly appreciated!
String msgText = mailInfo.getMessage();
 String attachmentFileName = mailInfo.getFileName();
 MimeBodyPart mimeBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 mimeBodyPart.setText(msgText);
 // create the second message part
 MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 // attach the file to the message
 FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(attachmentFileName);
 attachmentBodyPart.setFileName(fileDataSource.getName());
 attachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource));
 // create the Multipart and add its parts to it
 Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
 multipart.addBodyPart(mimeBodyPart);
 multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
 message.setContent(multipart);The email in case of JRE1.5 is as follows

Is there away to send an email message on the ipad with a photo attachment "not" inline in the message?

I need to send an email message on the ipad with a photo as an attachment "not" inline in the message? I do not want the photo embedded in the email message. I'm using exchange on the ipad.

Apple Mail will display attachments that are one page or less. While the photo will be displayed it is sent as an attachment. The recipient can click and drag the photo to their desktop just like any other attachment.

.wav file attachments in email no longer play

Up until yesterday, on my iPad mini, if I got a voice message .wav file as an attachment in my email, I could open it right from the message and listen to it. Now when I try to do so, the screen to play the message shows up for a second, then jumps back to the email message. I tried to listen to the message from my Xfinity account in Safari and got a black screen with a speaker symbol crossed out.
Could it be that my phone provider Comcast changed the encoding so that the .wav files are no longer compatible with mu iPad? (They still work on my iMac.) I am not aware of my making changes to the device or software that could cause this.
Thanks for any assistance on this.

Hey,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To better assist you, what is the audio codec of the of the .wav file? And can you please provide the software version of the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone?
On a side note, I did some testing here with .wav voice mail email attachments and was able to play the file, so this may be an issue with the type of .wav file.
Thanks.

Adding an image to email message

How do I add an image to an email message? I see how to change the font color and background color, but cannot see how to add an image. I am not able to copy and paste an image into the email (and actually cannot copy and paste ANYTHING into an email, that's another question I guess). I would really like to add an image to an email, however, and just can't see how to do this!
Thanks.

Assuming you are using Verizon Webmail for your email, as far as I know you cannot attach any files if you are using the Basic version. However, if you are using the Rich version, you should be able to add attachments using the Attach box above the email you are creating.
To check which version you are using, under My Settings click on the General tab and see what is shown for Desired Interface. If it is Basic, you can change it to Rich and you will now have the ability to attach files. Note that Rich takes more bandwidth on your internet connection, so unless you have DSL service or better you will probably not be satisfied with the performance. But if you try Rich and you aren't satisfied you can always switch back to basic.
Hope this helps.

All my attachments in mutiple messages have disappeared,where did they go?

In Firefox or Internet Explorer, the attachments I receive by gmail are lost after viewing if they are in a multiple message string. Where do they go and how do I access them?

In a multi-thread gmail thread you can select collapse all or expand all in the top right of the email message.
If the attachments are not there please clear the cache and reload the session. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
