Clients don't recieve JPG-attachments sent with Yosemite Mail

I am a graphic designer and I used Lokiware's Attachment Tamer prior to Yosemite. Now that the software is not available für this version of mail (and it seems doubtful that it ever will be) I went back to using Mail without it.
Ever since, some of my clients (using PCs) don't seem to be able to recieve attachments in JPG-Format from me. They just don't show up at their end, as if I wouldn't have attached them in the first place. Putting the files in an ZIP is a workaround, but a very clumsy and frustrating one.
Other file formats, such as PDF show up just fine.
For a few other clients it still works.
I haven't found anything online about this behaviour. Any others who experienced the same problem? Did anyone find the cause & a solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But if you think the problem is with Outlook being used to recieve my emails, I am pretty certain that can't be the whole story either. The only problem prior to Yosemite was attachments being embedded instead of attached (which is why i started using Attachment Tamer). But now the attachment are completely missing. This sounds like a different problem.
Each version of Outlook has its own bug that prevents viewing attachments (or retrieving them).
It also can be some coincidental change on the servers at either end.
Either your email provider or your recipient's email provider may be stripping them.
Can you view your sent mail on your Email server's web portal? If so, see if the attachment is intact there.
Did you uninstall Attachment Tamer? Just wondering if there might be some lingering code doing something weird.

  • HT5361 Mac OS X Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don't recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. Mail 6.6 does not have this problem.

    My Mac OS X (with 10.6.8 software) Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don’t recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. When I receive emails from others, I do not see whole image either. I did change "rich text" to "plain text" in message format - no results.
    My daughter has Mac (10.8.5) with Mail 6.6, which does not have this problem. Can I install 6.6 instead of 4.6 or do you know other fix?
    Help, please?
    Thanks,

    I've been having the same problem now for several months (at least 3-4 if not more). And the frequency of Mail quitting is increasing, several times in a few hours. And as with you, no particular message pops up before hand or not even the beach-ball spinning first and then quitting.
    I too have been sending Apple the crash reports. However, I have not contacted Apple Support yet. Hoping to find the answer in this forum, but again, no luck.
    If you have found a solution since then, please advise. Or if anyone else out there knows of this issue and can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

  • ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail - SOLVED!

    Hi All,
    We recently discovered the problem where emails with attachments sent from Apple Mail were being received in Outlook, blank but with BOTH the attachment and the email itself as an ATT00001.htm attachment!
    I've discovered that the problem kicks in if the attachment is placed BEFORE the email message! If I write an email and then add an attachment AFTERWARD, ie. below the text, there is no problem.
    I hope this helps...

    Hi, you could try Universal Mailer plugin (http://noware-it.zxq.net), it solves this issue by correctly handling attachments. This also solves the problem for inlined images, which can now be correctly seen by recipients.
    PS: following Apple's forum rules I have to state that, since I'm the developer of Universal Mailer, I might make some profits from it. Also, on the website you can find a free version of the plugin, which has some limitation but can be used to test its functionality.

  • JPG attachments sent to PC users

    I had no problems sending .jpgs as attachments to PC users as recently as June 2006. More recently, whenever I send .jpg attachments to the same recipients, the photo is "embedded" in the message window with NO attachment icon for them to click on to save/open. The only way for them to save is to right click on the image and save as .bmp. I haven't changed the method for sending attachments; all extensions are there, I send Windows Friendly Attachments and I've read the many forum postings regarding work-around suggestions. Since this is a new development on my computer is it possible that an Apple Software upgrade is the culprit here? I've spoken via telephone with Apple Support to alert them to the problem but got no "fix". New suggestions are appreciated.

    Freddy,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    There is no update issue to explain this -- the
    ability to send JPEGs to PC users is quite intact,
    and functioning.
    Do you use a Signature with your emais? If so, have
    you always used the same one?
    Ernie
    Yes, I do use a simple text signature and No it hasn't changed since my account was established. Whenever I add an attachment, it is always after the signature. I appreciate all the replies/advice I've received on this topic. I have experimented extensively by emailing attachments in various ways to my home PC. A few things I've tried have resulted in the .jpg arriving as an attachment, in addition to seeing it in the body of the email. Looks like I just have to decide which is the most efficient one! Thanks to everyone out there who took the time to write back.

    Title:
    Mac Mail att htm issue in outlook
    Question:
    I'm using mac original mail software. I did set my HTML style template. The software is best ever.
    And works good when I send email to outlook users on PC. However if I attach PDF for example, it does go through and outlook users get it, however when they open message all they see.
    - attached PDF
    - and att00001.htm file which has inside email text
    Not everybody gets idea to open it and thy think it is empty email. The same email will be sent to apple user everything looks properly. Why email text is converting into the htm file? It happens only if i attach something to my message, if I don't then email text is not being converted to htm attachment.
    I think there are a lot of user that know this issue, did anybody find a solution yet?
    Thank you

    I don't think there is anything you can really do about it.
    I think that it's how the receivers program is going to interpret it.
    For example, I sent an email to my Outlook account from my Mac with just an attachment; no text. I looked at the email in Outlook 2000 and I see the attachment as an item in the body text section of the email. When I look at that same email in Outlook 2003 the attachment shows in the attachment area under the subject line and the body text area is blank.
    Then I sent another one with an attachment and some text in the body of the email. In Outlook 2000 I see the text in the text area and the attachment as well as a attxxx file in an area at the bottom of the email. The att file was empty. In Outlook 2003 that same email as the attachment and the empty att file in the attachment area at the top and under the subject line and in the body text area of the email is the text that I typed.
    Although Mac Mail uses standard protocols, which is why you can send an email to a Windows PC, it just does some different things. In the WIndows world Outlook and Outlook Express also handle some things differently.
    Goldblum:
    Thank you for your reply
    This issue makes mail.app useless, do you have any recommendations?
    Other client which are as good as the mail.app or would be nice to know what is forcing to convert body text to attachment? I could reduce beautiness of my email template by taking out header (jpg) or not using rich text. What exactly is forcing outlook to convert body to attxxxxx.htm file?
    jhyiesla:
    I truly don't know the answer to that question. Sometimes similar things happen coming the other way. I'll get emails in to my Mac Mail that have jpg files and I'll see the actual pictures in the body of the email.
    I happen to also have Office 2008 for the Mac installed and when I sent my self a message and looked at it in Outlook 2000 and XP, the email looked "normal" in all instances. The attachment was marked as an attachment, text was where it should be and no att file.
    There are other email clients that would probably work on the Mac like Thunderbird... but I'm guessing that you'd have a similar thing as happens with mac mail. Still it might be worth the download to test it out.
    Goldblum:
    I used entourage and same HTML template for email and have no problems. It is just so that entourage is as any other MS product "broken" out of the box but did good job and same message is not being converted to HTML attachment when it goes to outlook on PC. I will continue researching internet because it has to be solved. I can't send a message to client without comment to attached invoice. This is so not professional. I will play more with settings of mail.app to see what else can be done to avoid conversion.
    jhyiesla:
    Entourage probably works well with Outlook because they're both MS products and MS is going to have somewhat similar looks to all their Office products... although there is quite a bit of difference between Entourage and Outlook.
    Here's a link that may help you on your search:
    http://email.about.com/od/macemailclients/tp/free.htm

    As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
    My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
    I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
    The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

  • Attachments visible with internet mail, but not with Mail.app

    Others have written before about this question, but I don't find a satisfying answer (that would have to come from the Apple people themselves). I received emails that contained several attachments (pdf files), as visible from the size of the messages and the raw source, but only one or two of the attachments showed in the Mail application (version 4.5), and sometimes there was even no body text. I was puzzled and went to the web application of my provider to look at the same messages. EVERYTHING was there! so I decided to transfer the messages again to myself, and miraculously everything was there as well in Mail.app.
    Now, is this a weakness of Mail.app, a wrong use of attachments by the sender or what else? Anyway, it is annoying, because I wonder how many attachments I have never seen.
    Does anyone know of a solution, please?

    Okay, I found the answer if anyone is having the same problem. The Mail POP settings on the Mac for the various Accounts I had were outdated. They were just for Dial-Up. Here is the link for the entire ATT page that deals with High Speed and iPhone connections, and the part in particular that helped me get it going.

    Note: Worldnet support is limited to providing the iPhone E-mail Configuration Settings. For all other iPhone technical support issues, refer the customer to: att.com/wireless
    Note: If you are using Mac OS 10.x, set up Mac OS X Mail to access your AT&T Worldnet Service e-mail.
    E-mail Settings:
    Mail Server Type: POP3
    Incoming Mail (POP): ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP): imailhost.worldnet.att.net
    Note: If you are using Netscape Mail, enter your other ISP's outgoing e-mail server. If you are not sure what the SMTP server name is, contact your non-AT&T Worldnet Service ISP.
    Ensure that the option My server requires authentication is checked.
    User name or POP name: Enter the full e-mail address in the User Name field. For example: [email protected] or [email protected]
    Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab.
    Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 465 for SMTP.
    Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 995 for POP3.

  • Windows users are not receiving attachments sent out of Mail

    I am a consultant. I use Mail in Snow Leopard. Software is up to date.
    Our business uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. All other consultants in the company are using Windows. In Mail I connect via IMAP. It has worked flawlessly until recently.
    Recently, my corporate clients (various clients not related to one another nor using the same email server) have complained that they are not receiving my email attachments. It is not universal. It is inconsistent, even with the same client. Sometimes the attachments are there and sometimes not.
    I have verified two things. 1) That the attachments are present in the emails in my outbox. 2) That the emails leave our server with the attachment (I accomplished this by contacting our Microsoft Exchange service provider and giving them examples, which they tracked down and verified that the emails left them with the attachments.).
    Our service provider suggested that Mail is adding something to the email that is causing Outlook (the common denominator is that the clients receiving the emails are all on Outlook) to strip the attachment. Or, the antivirus is stripping it. Something about the Mail email is causing Outlook or some antivirus software to strip the attachments.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is there something that can be done?
    Right now I've had to go to Thunderbird in order for my attachments to be received. I'd rather stay with Mac all the way, but I cannot trust that my clients will receive attachments.
    I'm hoping that when our company changes to MS Exchange Server 2007, that the problem will go away, since Mail can interface with the 2007 version directly. But, until then, I would really like to stick with Mail, if I can find a work around.
    Thanks.
    Matt

    I am now having exactly the same problem.  But here is a new wrinkle.  ALL the persons having the problem you describe - that attachments are stripped off - are using cox.net as their e-mail provider.   I am not saying that all cox.net mail users are having the problem, but those having the problem are among the cox.net e-mail users.  None of my recipients using aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, verizon.net, zona.net, etc. are having any problems.  Only some of the cox.net e-mail users. 
    I suspect but have not checked that they are all PC users (I use a Mac with Mail) and, now that I have become aware of this thread, I will check if they use Outlook.
    It started a few months ago.  I had no problems before and now this, with the same people.  Obviously something must have changed but what?
    Please let me know if you have found anything more about this - or even a solution?  :-)

  • Jpg attachments corrupt under leopard mail and hang message

    I-phone: Message shows fine
    Exchange on Leopard: Message shows up fine
    Leopard Mail Dual PPC G5: Message hangs
    Leopard Mail MacBook Pro Intel: Message hangs
    The only way to see the corrupted message is to choose "forward as attachment". When opening it it shows that the jpg image looks to be the instigator..... (the old millions of lines of code issue)
    Anyone else having similar issues?

    Same here. I have a client that uses outlook. He has an auto-signature in his mail client. Part of his signature is a JPG of his corporate logo. Every email he sends freezes (it says loading, but nothing happens... I haven't waiting long enough to see an error message). I called him and had him send a test with no logo. Works just fine. So, it is specifically the logo in his signature line that is causing the error.

  • Is there a limit to the size of attachments sent by Apple Mail 6.2

    Sometime when I send an attachment with my emails it goes to by draft mailbox instead of being sent out.  What's the deal with this? Is there a size limit that Apple imposes on me.com or cloud.com account?

    There is generally a limit set by ALL ISPs or email account providers on attachments.  By default (for most anyway) it's 5MB, but some have been known to have more and some can even have unlimited, but the receiver of your email may have a lesser one in which case it won't send through anyway and bounce back to you with a 5.x.x error indicating attachment size blocks.  Because of this, most ISPs in the world have tried to standardize on what's currently considered as a "manageable file attachment size".
    Also, according to iCloud info, their limit is 20MB for the entire email (message body and attachment).

  • Line breaks in URLs sent with Apple Mail

    Does anyone know when/if Apple plans on repairing the flaw in Mail that splits URLs into multiple lines, making it hard for recipients to view recommended links?
    I recognize there are ways around this including TinyURL, embedding URLs in short words, and re-assembly of the URL on the recipient's end. However, it is Apple that is failing to comply with RFC-3676 ("The Text/Plain Format and DelSp Parameters"), which states:
    [A] generating agent SHOULD NOT insert a space in an unnatural location... If faced with such a word which exceeds 78 characters (but less than 998 characters, the [SMTP] limit on line length), the agent SHOULD send the word as is... (RFC-3676, February 2004, at 7)
    Apple should fix this. Yes, there are workarounds. But Apple is not complying with the established email standard.

    I know they won't reply

    I don't think they ever reply, for reasons of time and resources, but that has nothing to do with what kind of action they may be taking about a suggestion.

  • Include Attachments Option with E-Mail Notifications

    Under Options > E-Mail Notifications in addtion to "include submitted data" and "include empty fields" it would be nice to have a check option for "include attachments."
    We have clients who occasionally attach photos to our forms.  It would streamline productivity to have the option to receive the attachment via the e-mail notification instead of a requirement to log in to forms central and download the file seperately.
    Thank you.

    For some reason, the system won't let me create a new Idea.  I've tried submitting a few times and I get the following error message when I try to submit:
    "It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake."
    I have submitted ideas in the past, I'm not sure why I can't now.
    Thanks,

  • Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

    Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
    When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
    Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
    Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
    So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

    Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
    Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
    I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
    All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

  • Why won't attachments sent from Mac Mail show up for an Outlook Express recipient?

    I use Mac Mail on a MacBook Pro. When I attach image files to an email message, a recipient using Windows Outlook Express can't receive the attachments as attachments; they're just embedded in the message. What can I do to ensure that attachments go through as attachments?
    Thanks in advance.
    dh

    There's been a lot of discussion on this.  Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments.  When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case. 
    There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want.  I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
    One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.
