Binary attachments in Mail displayed inline !?

Dear Group:
As far as I tell, only the latest version(s) on Mail behave strangely from time to time: BINARY attachments to messages sent to an IMAP account are displayed inline including Word-DOCs and PDFs. Sample is attached. Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks in advance. Regards, Alex

Mail 2.0.5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I am having a similiar problem with my IMAP account at work (which is running off of a Novell Groupwise server). The worst part is that it is inconsistent; I just received 5 emails (all with attachments) from one of our clients (so, obviously all sent with the same email program from their end), and 4 showed the attachments correctly, and the 4th of the 5 inlined the two attachments (all 5 emails had two attachments, all the same formats, which is 1 plain text file, and 1 plain text file with a non-standard filename extension), so that the message shows up as follows:

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Can Mail display an icon to show me messages that have attachments...

Can Mail display an icon to show me messages that have attachments... I have tons of emails organized... sometime I have to find an attachment and I have to key through each message to see it there is an attachment.
Is there a way to just show me like entourage or other programs do?

Check under the View menu for an Attachment option and select it. That should place a new column in the message browser window with an icon if there is an attachment.

Pdf files as attachments in Mail

Sometimes pdf attachments in mail are saved as a pdf file with icon other times the document is visible and fills the whole page - How can I ensure only the pdf file is attaced and not the open document - seems to be there is no reason as to why this is ?
Using Blackbook + Leopard latest updates

Don't understand the reply above; I assume it's for another thread.
Not to worry: Mail will show you the pdf if it can but when you send it the file will be attached. If the other person's mail reader can view attachments inline then it will and there's nothing you do about that.

Sending Interactive PDF through mail - as INLINE item

Hi All,
I have a requirement, wherein I have to send an Interactive PDF form through mail, as INLINE (i.e. displayed in the body of the message item),and not as ATTACHMENT.
i.e. The Interactive PDF content should be seen in the body page of the mail itself.
I have to send the PDF from a java application. I was able to do it with an image(as INLINE) using the HTML tag <img>.
For PDF, I tried using the HTML tags <iframe> and <embed>. i even tried javascript embeded within HTML code. But no use.
IMPORTANT : Please note that, it is an Interactive PDF form, there will be editable Input fields in the PDF file.
Any one please help me to solve this....
Thanks,
Prabhakar.

You can set the main content of your message to be the PDF content with MIME
type application/pdf, but I doubt that you can convince most mailers to display this
content as you intend. As far as I know, this is not a commonly supported feature.
If you can use some other program to create a message that displays the way you
want, you can copy the structure of that message with your JavaMail program.

Attachments in Mail

Attachments in Mail. Why do picture files go into message as open files and text messages as icons?

Sorry this does not seem to work. I use OS 10.8.2 on an iMac. Right click on desktop's small icon does not show VIEW AS ICON. View Menu at top of page shows view as icon but greyed out. After loading full image into page, size can be reduced by selecting SMALL in top RH box, but this moves any text to bottom of page.
One suggestion in Apple Support says Ctrl 1 should do the same as your right click but this did not work either.
I have no trouble with icons for text files as attachments. These behave as expected.

I have a MacBook Air, OS 10.8.5 I am having trouble sending attachments with Mail. Even small (130K) files don't go. It tries to send then gives up. What can I do to fix this?

I am having trouble send messages with attachments in Mail. Even small attachments (130K) Mail tries to send, then gives up and the message sits in my out box. How can I fix this?

1. You need an external DVD drive.
2. There are no Mac OS X applications or other software in the iTunes App Store.

Why does "remove attachments" in Mail now remove entire e-mail?

This is just one of numerous problems with Lion after installing it on MacBook Pro. Every time I choose "remove attachments" in Mail, it deletes the entire e-mail and I can't bring it back. Additionally:
1.     I-Cal entries take forever (delayed entry) and assume I have an all-day event so I now have to enter the event and then open and edit it - additional steps.
2.     Airport (Wi-Fi) now shuts off without warning and cannot, under any circumstances, be restarted from any of the several screens and buttons that supposedly offer that option. Therefore, when I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet and then back, I have to do a restart.
3.     The Address Book now has a stylistic but non-functional interface that requires several additional steps to look at anything and there is no longer an option in Mail to "Open in Address Book" without first opening the v-card, once again complicating my life.
4.     The removal of arows on scroll bars means that I can no longer gradually look at a large file line by line but, rather, have to use the trackpad (which is also jumpy) try to focus in on the area I want by trila and error. I hate the trackpad for these reasons and now that I have lost the arrows, I have essentially the same problem with the mouse - very cumbersome for anyone doing production type work, rather than just playing.
5.     My Carbonite no longer works and I see there are compatibility issues with all kinds of other software. Worse some of my favorite old programs (e.g. Fetch) no longer work in Lion.
6.     The conversation function in Mail now groups things I don't want grouped (e.g., totally unconnected e-mails with the same words in the subject). I had to turn that off for this reason.
Overall, Lion is a huge disappointment. It's all bells and whistles with actual losses in functionality for basic work - style over substance. This is the same thing I've seen happen with Microsoft Excel as basic issues that needed addressing have been ignored while all sorts of pretty stuff that is pretty much useless has been added.
Even more frustrating is the message I got from Apple Support, which was to re-nstall Lion. That took 6 hours and resulted in not one correction of any of these issues. What has Apple done? This OS was not ready for primetime.

The "feature" I experience is that the message disappears, just as shown in Herbert's video (good work), and that it comes back after a quick mailbox switch. It has nothing to do with message sorting or anything. All my Mail settings are the same as in Mail 4.x, and everything worked fine there. Must be a bug in Mail 5. (Yes, I have reported it.)
The "explanation" that Mail creates a copy without the attachment, instead of keeping the old message without the attachment, doesn't really solve the problem. (Sorry for my extensive use of smileys, it's not my style but sometimes convenient.) The copy should come up without the mailbox switch either way.
Edit: spelling.

Why is a css 'display:inline;' command not working in one part of the page when it does in another?

I am trying to set my navigation links to be in a line rather than a column after setting them up as an Unordered List. I have already done it for the social network icons but the same css command just won't apply itself for the navigation. Any help would be appreciated.

HT2583 view attachments is mail, my default is set to view with VLC

I down loaded snow lepoard and now my attachments in mail can't open, it is defulted to open with the VLC reader, how do i change that so I can read attachments

That's because you are in the active window for setting up a mail account. Either configure a mail account or cancel out so that the Mail application is now active.
Or, download RCDefaultApp - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to set up your default applications. It's freeware.

PowerPoint Attachments in Mail do not Open

I have a new Intel Dual Core iMac. I receive a lot of attachments in mail, all of which I have no problems opening except for one: PowerPoint. When I click on a PowerPoint attachment, Mail tells me that it doesn't know which application should open it. When I drag the attachment from Mail to the PowerPoint 2004 icon on the dock, it opens just fine. I do not have this problem on my PowerBook. The get info on the PowerPoint attachment does indicate that PowerPoint 2004 is the default app.
Any Ideas?
15 Aluminum PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The only thing that I could think of would be to change the open with to something else. Then change it back and set to open all as default. I had this happen before and that fixed it for me.

Remove attachments in Mail

"Remove attachments" in Mail (Lion) is disabled and I cant remove the files from the emails I have sent. it worked fine before I switched to Lion and kept my Mail folder in Libary small. Anybody else having this problem?

Just tried it out a little bit more: The problem is related only to mails sent from Mail.app 5.0 in Lion. Mails sent through the mobile me web interface for example behave normally after being synced back to Mail.app. Attachments can be removed from those mails within Mail.app.
Another thing I noticed: The mails that do have the problem do not show the paper-clip symbol in the list of mails on the left side. The paper-clip should appear next to the addressee's name. The mail preview on the right, however, correctly shows that the mail has an attachment and it can be opnened by clicking. I also created a smart mailbox to show only mails that do have an attachment and are in the sent folder: Only the mails sent before installing lion are listed (attachements can be removed) – all lately sent mails are nout found: Obviously something makes Mail.app "forget" that there is an attachment when sending mails in Lion, thus graying out the command to remove the attachment from the specific mail.
Regarding file types of the unremovable attachments there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I have the problem with both word documents and PDF files. The number of attachments neither seems to make a difference.
Temporary solution: Do not send mails with attachments you want to potentially remove later on from within Mail.app in Lion at the moment. Instead, use an iOS device or your mail provider's web interface for sending those mails. Apple, please fix it!

How do i open winmail.dat attachments in mail

How do i open winmail.dat attachments in mail ?

Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments? This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it.
Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30. An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files.

Use CSS floats. Posted here with inline styles for expediency. Ideally, you should set-up some re-usable classes for floats & clearing in your external style sheet.
<div style="float:left; width:250px">

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

Bjørn Larsen a écrit:
Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.
