E mail attachments missing
I have an iMac - late 2009 running 10.9.5 OS. I am having trouble opening e mail attachments sent from one very important contact. He is on an office server running microsoft e mail program. I can not even see the attachments on his e mails. I am using TNEF's Enough to open the attachment and nothing appears as an attachment in the pop up window. Any suggestions of settings (or something else) that can overcome this problem?
I have the same problem. Things worked fine for a while. I was able to see the body of the email plus the attachment. Even was able to open PDFs in iBooks. Now I only see the "Preview". I clock the particular email and I get a blank page with a header... plus no ability to see the attachment. This needs to be addressed in an update.
How did you reset your phone? Did you lose any content in the process?
Thanks

Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments
Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!
Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
and also related:
http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.

Sending Pages e-mail attachments to someone using previous version
Can anyone help me with a problem I'm experiencing in trying to send Pages documents as e-mail attachments to a friend, who is also a Mac user. I am using Pages version 2.0.2 and she has the older version. She cannot open my documents. I've tried opening my own, older, version of Pages and cutting and pasting the content into that. I've changed the font because she doesn't have my font. I've changed the Open With instruction on the Get Info page. All to no avail. Is there anything else I'm missing here? I'd be grateful for some advice. Many thanks.

Because Pages documents are actually packages of files, emailing them can be tricky. Many times one or more of the files isn't included in the transfer. To prevent that, before you attach to the email, archive the file. In the Finder, command-click on the document. From the contextual menu, select Create Archive For (your file name). Attach that new, archived file to your email.
Note that Pages 2's Save As function has a check box that allows you to save your document in iWork 05 (Pages 1) format. You can use that instead of cutting and pasting.

I use the Mail app to send email from a variety of email accounts. Recently, I have not been able to send MS-Word attachments to a MS-Windows user. On my end, the messages shows up has having been sent complete with attachments, but the Windows receiver of my email only receives the email message with attachments missing. I have been having this problem with all of my accounts using Mail. Any ideas?
Send the message in Plain Text to those using Outlook -- has nothing to do with file type, but only the formatting of the message text. Try one you have sent previously -- open it in the Sent mailbox, click on Message/Send Again followed by Format/Make Plain Text.
Outlook and Outlook Express mess up Rich Text from other email clients, and ever from each other.

Mail attachments not saving to the folder I choose
My mail attachments are not saving to the folder I choose. When I select a file to save in the mail drop-down box, I am given options to save to a folder of my choice. However, when I select save the document is actually saved deep in some Mail Downloads area, not in my chosen folder. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?
What kind of files are you trying to attach?
Is it all recipients having this problem or specific one(s)?
Could you possibly post a screenshot of the sent message from your side and a screenshot of what the recipient sees?
What happens if you send one of these messages to yourself?

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.

Mail attachments don't work iphone
I have three users who updated their phones to 7.0.4. After doing so, half of the email attachments don't show up in emails. Instead, they get a "this message has no content." It happens with different email senders and different attachment file types (pdf and xls). One user specifically noted that it happened after updating to 7.0.4. Two of those users are on iPhone 4S's and another is on a variation of 5.
Any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it?
side note: mail attachments on those same problem emails work on the user's Outlook clients as well as Android phones (when tested).Use Plain Text instead of RTF for message composition and place any attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
The Send Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for only one thing and that is removing the Apple resource fork from an attached file which is invisible from fellow Mac users. -
I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?
I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.
I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

Automatically download mail attachments to desktop?
I'm trying to figure out how to use Mail's Rules to, as soon as it receives a mail matching specific criteria, to automatically copy any attachments from that to the desktop, then delete the e-mail.
How can I do this?Paste this in a Script Editor window, then save it as a script, probably in your Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail folder, so that it is also available in the script menu when you are in Mail.

Sending Mail attachments to windows users
When sending Mail attachments (Jpegs) to windows PCs they arrive embedded in the message body, not as an attachment that can be saved. Can I, or the recipient, do anything to rectify this?
From Mail Help:
If Windows users have trouble with your attachments
Windows users might not be able to read attachments you send, the messages they’re attached to, or both; or they might see two files when you’ve sent only one.
Try these solutions:
Choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
Choose Edit > Attachments > “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message” to automatically have attachments inserted at the end of a message. Otherwise, some Windows recipients might not easily see all of your message because parts of it are put into attachments, which they have to open to read.
Use filename extensions, such as .doc for a Microsoft Word document, in the names of files you send to Windows recipients. This way, the files can be read by a Windows application.
If you send a file (for example, “MyFile”) to someone who uses a Windows computer, the recipient might see two files: “MyFile” and “._MyFile.” The recipient can ignore the file named “._MyFile.”
If you have a New Message window open, the Edit > Attachments commands don’t contain “Always” and they apply only to the message you’re currently composing.
If you haven’t set the default, click Attach in the toolbar of the New Message window and select the Send Windows Friendly Attachments checkbox. -

Check on your server to see what maiul options are selected. If your mail account is set to "download all attachments automatically", that may be an option you want to de-select.
