Default Mail attachments to "View As Icon"

Is there a way to default attachments to "View As Icon" instead of previewing them in Mail? Specifically MP3s, since there's no way to drag the preview player directly into iTunes. I know I can just right click to change, but I get a lot of emails with MP3s attached and need to pull them straight into playlists.
Thanks in advance for any help.

"Iconizer" or "attachment tamer" could be your answer.

  • Maverick Mail - How to have default where attachments are "View as Icons", and not to display entire document

    When I attach files to Mail 7.3 it often displays the entire file, not the icon. I find this highly annoying. Yes, I can one-by-one right click on the document and instruct Mac to send the file as in icon only. But I would prefer Mavericks Mail to default to a convention where all attachments are icons, not viewable docs.
    Any fix for this?

    try this:
    Open a Terminal window.
    Type this (it must be exact):    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    hit return
    restart mail.

  • In Mountain Lion, Mail why no "view as icon" option

    I used to be able to compose a message, attach a PDF and right click to "view as icon." Now when I attach, I see a preview of the doc. When I save as a draft, the PDFs appear as icons. When a PC user receives them, will they arrive as PDF attachments icons only showing or will it show a preview of the doc in their opening window?

    In Mountain Lion mail, it is still possible to switch between a preview and an icon of an attachment.
    How somebody else is seeing it when he/she is receiving it it totally up to their mail app. It has nothing to do with PC or Mac or whatever system they use.
    So you have basically no real chance to control what the receipient will see when looking at your mail.

  • Mail attachments not showing as icons but as blue square with ? in

    This is probably going to sound very odd but recently all attachments that I send or forward come up with the attachment showing as a blue block with question marks on the site - something like a piece of lego.
    Anyone got any ideas what the problem is and how to resolve it?
    Thanks
    Mail version 2.1.2 (753)
    OS 10.4.11

    As a follow-up, Apple did help.
    Called Tech Support and spoke at length with Mujahid. He went through the system carefully and confirmed (by creating another 'user account') that the problem was 'system wide'. He then requested that I trash the current Mail application and re-install Mail from the disks that were provided with the iMac. I then restarted the iMac, opened Mail (now v2.1.1), created a test email and attached a jpeg...............
    Eureka! Problem solved. No more blue lego cubes with question marks.
    It doesn't explain how the problem arose in the first place and I don't know if it will recur if I upgrade to Mail v2.1.2 I did use the 'migration assistant' when moving files over from the old laptop with 10.3.9 and it may have been that something nasty crossed over. Anyway, its fixed now.
    All hail Mujahid.

  • Default to "view as icon" in Mail.app messages (with attachments)

    Hello,
    Other than using Mail Attachments Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer), does anyone know of a way to default mail.app to "view as icon" when adding attachments to messages?
    Working in print design, we're always sending PDFs and images and it's a little annoying when you have a large (in dimension, not bit size) attachment and it just takes over your message.
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Hello!
    Your English is great.
    There is no default setting for this in Mail but check Mail Attachments Iconizer.

  • Attachments - "view as icon"

    Is there any way to make "view as icon" the default when attaching files?

    You're welcome.
    I used the very first OS X Mail.app version for a short time until Office X was introduced when I began using Entourage.
    I switch back to using the Mail.app exclusively when Jaguar was introduced thru Panther and now Tiger and the Mail.app has always displayed image/picture and smaller PDF attachments (1-2) pages inline or viewed in place within the body of the message.
    I quickly grew to prefer this since I can confirm the correct image or picture attachment has been selected before the message is sent.
    I have not experienced the same problem and I've installed all available updates.
    Anything special about these attachments or does the problem occur with any and all image or picture attachments regardless?

  • Is there a way for all attachments to be 'viewed as icon' both sending and receiving?

    Is the any way to have attachments displayed as icons as the default in mail?
    I know I can select images in an email and set them to be display as an icon via the context menu, but that doesn't seem to "stick". Is there any "hidden pref"?

  • 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 to permanently show mail attachments as icons?

    There is no permanent way to do this.  Control-click lets you adjust it for the message in view, when acting upon the inline attachment image file.

  • Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

    Hi @ll,
    default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
    Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

    We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

  • Removing the default (View As Icon) for the control and Indicator

    If you remove the default selection View As Icon  for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

    This has already been suggested - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Default-Option-Do-NOT-Place-Front-Panel-Terminal-as-Icon/idi-p/926871
    Also, note that you can already change it on your computer as mentioned there.
