Can't open mime-attachment in mail

Sometimes mail is forwarded to my iPhone from my Yahoo! account as a mime-attachment and the iPhone won't open it, so I can't read the message. Any suggestions?

I figured out that if the email is formatted as plain text, an attachment coming from Outlook can be read, whereas if the email message is in HTML format (my PC Outlook default), it cannot.
This could well be a good workaround for you - send your email message in plain text format whenever you include an attachment.
Has anyone figured out a way to solve this - where you can view an attachment to an HTML formatted email?

Can't open "mime-attachment.ics" file...

I have my emails forwarded to the email account I use on my iPhone. Everything comes across fine, except calendar invitations. These come across with an attached "mime-attachment.ics" file...I just want to open it so I can see the time being proposed... don't need it to update my calendar. Can't find an app that will open an .ics file... any suggestions?

tongadog is absolutely right. You cannot receive an email with an invitation and open the .ics attachment to see what you are invited to. Not only the iPhone email application should be able to understand the attachment and display the description of the calendar invitation, date, time, location and so on, but one should be able to tap on it and have the invitation sent to the calendar. This is very very obvious and basic requirement. If Apple wants the iPhone to live in the business environment this is a fundamental functionality. People in the Windows environment constantly sent these types of invitations and people with Blackberrys continuously laugh at me because I cannot see the content on my iPhone and I am lost as to when the next meeting is. Please Apple, this should be an easy one for you!!! By the way, it is not a 3.0 or 3.1 issue, it's always been like this, I've been suffering from this for a year and a half.

I can't open the attachment to a mail. I must open it i FileApp. but it says that there no App installed that open this type of file. What can I do? I've got iPad 2, version 4.3.3 (8J2) My age: 69 and not so good at computers.

I can't open the attachment to a mail. When I'm trying to open it in FileApp, I get the answer: "FileApp doesn't recognise
this file type.Would you like to try to open in.....
     another App
     as text file
     cancel
When I open it it in another App I get the answer:"there are no application installed on your device that can open
this type of file.
When I open it as a text file, it's loading and loading.....forever?
What shall I do?
PS I'm 70 and not good at computers

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

When did this start? What was the last thing you changed before problem started?
Have you tried sending the attachment from a different account. Have a friend send you an attachment. Get a gmail account.
Send the email with attachments to two different accounts one to your ipad and the other to a gmail account in a web browser and not on an iPad. See if you can read the ones to the gmail account.
You did reboot your ipad?
Standard stuff for ipad.

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. What can I do?

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." What can I do?

I'm using Mac Mail as my email client. I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately. It will open on a PC with no issue.
Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up. Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
If that does not improve try a restore

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail. I have tried to reconnect; to forget the network, all those things that should hepl. My phone and my computer recognize the network, the ipad doesn't. I mean I am connected and have a full scala of connection bows, but nothing happens.

You iPad recognizes the wifi signal, but is not connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch one of the problem apps. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
