Email attachments and viruses

I've recently sent some emails with a newsletter attachment for family and friends. Some of the recipients would not open the attachment because there was a prominant warning saying NOT VIRUS SCANNED. Is this something I should do before sending an attachment. If so how do I do it. Or is it something to do with the mail application of the person receiving it?

It sounds more like something related to the mail client/operating system/ISP of the receiver. In Mail there is no option to virus scan things prior to sending them.

Corrupt email attachments and uploading of files

Hi all.
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now but just spoken to BT and they told me the line/connection is fine and they cannot help me any further. I had read that it could be noise or static on the line but according to BT this is not the case.
My problems are occuring when I send email attachments via Mail, they almost always are being corrupted when the recipient receives them. Also, when I upload amended website files via FTP, quite a few of the graphics end up corrupt: Images display as half an image and half grey or they can display as small section of the image and the rest being a block of colourful noise.
I'm really at the end of my tether with this one, not only does it happen on my MacPro, it also happens on my MacBook Pro
I'd be really grateful of any help/suggestions from anyone please.
Many thanks
Mark

As said you'd have to transfer your file somehow to the database server; you could use ftp or standard windows shares for that. After you uploaded your file you could use dbms_lob to process your file and insert it into the database: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#ARPLS020
Or you could use BFILES to store pointers of your files in the table:
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/BFILE
The other way round you'd simply use ftp or what ever else to download those files to the client and display them with host with the associated program. Bfiles would have the benefit that the files are not stored as blobs in the database but on the filesystem which would spare you the writing of a temporary file to transfer it to the client (and reading it with dbms_lob when transfering it to the server) as the file resides on the file system of the database server.

Email attachments and digital signature

I used to be able to open a email attachment, review it and then digitally sign it.
Since the new IT people came it, the digital signature simply disappears. Any way to restore this function? Thanks.

We experienced a similar problem when Adobe updates were installed. It seems that a recent Adobe update took away the capability to save your digital signature directly to the PDF email attachment, then forward the email with the signed attachment. Now, when we open a PDF email attachment and place a digital signature, as soon as we have entered our password for our digital signature, we are prompted with the "Save As" dialog box asking us to save the document somewhere on the hard drive of our computer (the default location is My Documents). If you hit Cancel, then the signed version does not get saved. The attachment remains unsigned. So we learned we needed to go through the Save As dialog and choose (and remember) a location to save the PDF, such as My Documents or Desktop, then reply or compose a new email and attach the signed version that we had just saved in Documents/Desktop. We used to be able to hit the Save icon in Adobe and save our changes (digital signature) to the email attachment. Having to save the PDF somewhere other than the email itself is an extra step we'd prefer to avoid, and we'd be happy to learn of a way to go back to our old method. I believe the key was that Adobe would save the signed version somewhere in the "temp files" on the C drive and automatically use that version when the email is forwarded. And I think Adobe did away with that, unless there is a way to revert to that method using Preferences?
But I wonder if the Asker of this question is able to click "Place Signature" and has an opportunity to "Save As," saving the PDF on the hard drive of the computer for future attaching? Are you hitting "Cancel" in the Save As dialog?
If you save the signed PDF (i.e. in the default My Documents), then a slightly quicker method than having to browse to the saved document in Documents is, you can click on the envelope icon (Sharing) at the top of the screen. Then click the "Attach to Email" circle and click the "Attach" button. This will generate a new email in your email application (i.e. Outlook) with the signed PDF attached (Adobe pulls the signed version that you previously saved to your Documents). The downside to this is that the generated email will not have the original email thread or subject line, so you will need to add a relevant subject line.
Some of our users reported that they used the Share ... Attach to Email feature and their signatures would get wiped from the email attachment after they hit send. However, this phenomenon has not been witnessed since the most recent Adobe software update.

Downloading email attachments and changing settings..please help

Can anyone help me understand how I can change the download settings for inbound emails? In attempting to download attachments, often I either can't open them, or they appear in a box and I can see them download but can't open them after clicking on them. Also, some of the attachments open the quicktime window as if I'm making a new movie or watching one already on the hard drive. Thanks folks

Please Clarify. Do you use an online e-mail page (such as Gmail) or do you use an app on your iMac (like Mail.appl or Entourage)? Where are you saving your files?

No sound on email attachments and utube attachements while in FireFox

When using Firefox to access my email, no attachments with audio will play - Utube, music video's, other video's received in my email. The same audio attachments play correctly in other browsers. Is this a setting which needs to be changed?

Hi tcat050,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting tips in there. You might have just accidentally disabled sound for Firefox.
There is also a chance it is a plugin issue. If the first article doesn't help, take a look at [[Video or audio does not play]].
Hopefully this helps!

Since downloading Firefox, I cannot send email attachments and upload files. How do I fix this?

When I click on "attach file" or "upload file" I always get a message...."Firefox is not responding". Then I have to close the program and open Internet Explorer. I would prefer using Firefox,can you tell me how to fix this problem?

I uninstalled Firefox, deleted all data, reinstalled and still have the same problem. I guess I'll go back to Internet Explorer.

Malware Policy - Scan Email and Email Attachments

Hi there,
When creating a custom malware policy there is a setting under "Scan Settings" called "Scan Email and Email Attachments" and I have a number of questions regarding it.
Which email clients does this policy support?
Which email protocols does it support - POP3, IMAP, MAPI?
How and when does it scan the incoming email and attachments?
One of the reasons I ask is that we recently had a user hit with the Crypt Locker virus which went on to encrypt 40,000 files on network folders. The infection was encounter via a pishing email in Outlook 2013 and I would have thought MS EP would have caught
the payload when the link was clicked on or attachment was downloaded.
Cheers

Yikes. I would contact CSS directly on this because no one in these forums will truly be able to address your concerns.
Based solely on this blog post -- http://blogs.technet.com/b/clientsecurity/archive/2010/03/20/scanning-email-archives.aspx -- I would conclude that it doesn't scan any traffic and thus the protocol doesn't matter; it is an archive scanner and thus only
scans e-mails once they are written or committed to disk.
The assumption that client based anti-malware products make is that the e-mail server is itself already protected at the gateway level.
Even so though, if this was phishing attack, there's nothing malicious about the e-mail itself so the setting doesn't really apply as it was the content downloaded from the malicious site that the user unwittingly accessed that caused the damage. Outlook
is generally good at at recognizing spoofed URLs used in phishing attacks though.
So, going back to my original statement, you should contact Microsoft CSS to see where the gap was.

Downloading and attaching email attachments

When I try to open email attachments sent to me or save a file that I haven't created they always download to the Pictures file. I have tried saving the file then to either Excel, Word, or a flash drive which is successful. However, when I re-send the email back and attach the same document, it attaches the entire pictures file. Up at the top bar it says - Open as Web Page. How to I get files I open from email attachments and web documents to simply open up on the screen and allow me to save them to whatever compatible file I choose, i.e. Excel, Word, PDF, flash drive, etc.

Hi,
Which email program client/agent are you using ? Nothing to do with machine, it is up to the email program or client/agent. Normally, if you wish to view an attachment you have to double click it and your email program agent/client must be able to open it.

My email attachments won't open after ios7.1 update on 4s! HELP!

I recently updated my 4s to the new software, iOS7.1. Since then, my Word document email attachements are not opening. When I try and open attachments I just get a message saying "OfficeOpen XML word processing document" on a blank screen. All attachments were opening before the update... so I was wondering;
Is my phone "too old" for this software? (Phone is only 16 months old)
Are the attachments emailed to me, in the wrong format for me to open them?
Or is there something I need to change in the settings so I can open email attachments????
Please help!
I rely on my phone to email on the run for my job so desperatly need to get it working again!
I also have an iPad2 and have updated it to the new iOS7.1 software and email attachments and everything else is working fine.... just my phone isn't!
Thank you all so much for your help.

I have same problem when I upgraded to ios 7.1. I have done the test that by sending a attachment both in .doc format and docx format but still cannot open the attachement and the message said "OfficeOpen XML word processing document", I have tested another iPhone in ISO 7 which don't have any issues to open.
I don't why Apple still don't doing something to solve it. We are well known that iPhone / iPad is not only for home use, we are use this everyday for work. Please kindly give us solution.

Hi,
I have just got myself a new PC with Windows 7 (64bits). Using IE 8 (32 bit version), I am unable to download emails attachments from my normal Yahoo account ([email protected]). I have read somewhere that this could be due to the fact that Yahoo uses Norton as antivirus scan for email attachments, and that this could clash with BT NetProtectPlus (McAfee under the bonnet). Is there an option I need to switch off (and if so which one / how) in BT NetProtectPlus in order for me to be able to download attachments via Yahoo mail ?
Please note that this used to work on my previous PC (Windowx XP).
Thanks for your help. This is getting really frustrating !
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
To be honest, there would not really be a clash between the products you've mentioned, because the online system using Norton is a server system and actioned before any download. There is possibly an option in BTNetprotect for "email scanning" or similar. This option can be turned off in the general case, since disk writes are covered anyway,
Have you tried another browser (e.g. Firefox, Opera or Safari) to see if the same conditions exist ?
Is there any particular error message or delay you are seeing ?

Experimenting with email/attachments

Experimenting with email/attachments - and the problem with an ATT00001.htm attachment also appearing in Outlook/AOL recipients. is there any way to always force attachments added in any app to be placed AFTER the default email signature ie. at end of message ??

Our office is having the same problem. Simply can't attach to the email. When the attachment is attempted it just stalls. Nothing. No change. Just won't do anything. We can forcequit the program but it doesnt solve the problem.
When computer is restarted we are able to attach. Then after a while of routine use of MS Word and Dropbox the problem starts again. Note that we can't even attach stuff from the desktop when this occurs, so I dont think its related to Dropbox.
We werent having this problem until the recent updates.

Having a Problem downloading Email Attachments

In the last month or so (probably late July early August), I have started having problems with email attachments and I have changed no settings. I have them set to save to my card and the size is set to Maximum in the email settings on both of my email accounts AND there is plenty of room on both the phone memory and my card. Most of them will not DOWNLOAD to the phone. I get a list of the attachments with the attachment name and the download arrow with an exclamation point and when I try to re-download they still won't download. This is becoming a major hinderance for my work because I am expected to be able to read these. Simple text documents, word doc's, excel spreadsheets, pdf's. On the same email from 9/12 I have a .doc and a .pdf that did download and another .pdf that did NOT. HAS THERE BEEN SOME DOCUMENT SIZE CHANGE or some other change that is causing this??? I rarely if ever had this happen before. Please help me...very frustrated.

dlcooper, that sounds frustrating! I'd love to help. What specific application are you using to download and view the email attachments? Let me suggest resetting the application. http://bit.ly/Rjsdjr Retest and let me know how it works out for you. Thanks!

Send Email Attachments OBE issue

I was following the Oracle by Example (OBE) Sending Email Attachments and I got to step 10, under the section Create Items to Store Email Information, setting the LOV for the list of employee pictures and the LOV is being displayed with the filename followed by the html :
dog.gif<br /><img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=47495&s=1109906965016602&p=3&d=1822025729045755026&i=1822025415006755025&p_pk1=100&p_pk2=&p_ck=29A415A69350497EF7ED9962C42E9BA5" height="128" width="128" />)The LOV select statement is as follows:
select filename||'</br>'||
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(photo),0),0,null,

where mimetype like 'image%' order by 1
I get the hmtl tags literals not the actual html.
Why isn't showing up as html tags?

Sorry - thought you were doing a report. I checked your app and the issue is security - in the Security region within Item attributes, Escape Special Characters was set to Yes (thus, you see the img tag rather than the image) - I changed this to No and now your image shows.
This is an old obe (for 3.1), that is why this step is not included. When we create items and reports, we make them a bit 'tighter' by default now.

Files corrupting when sending email attachments from Mail & Thunderbird

Hi All
I'm hoping that someone will be able to help here as this problem is driving me crazy!
Most if not all of my email attachments are corrupting when sending from Apple Mail and Thunderbird. I'm also having issues with publishing files via FTP from Rapidweaver 5! I have spoken to BT about the issue but they have tested the line and say everything is OK.
The strange thing is, it's happening on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my Mac Pro (Lion). The problem's also happen when I'm using a friends high speed internet connection so that only leaves the server. I'm really out of my depth with the server side of things though. I did have a reply from Servage (my hosting company) who said I may have been the subject of a hack and an upload script!! Not sure what this means or how to check if this is the case. One question though, would this corrupt email attachments as well as uploading to the server?
Many thanks
Mark

Further to the above: I have now found that the same corruption happens when I email attachments and FTP from my PC laptop, so this rules out a computer issue. I have also swapped wireless routers and exactly the same problem. As mentioned above, I don't get the corruption when using another internet connection.
Also, I have an iPhone which I've restored to factory default settings and when I take a photo with the phone and email it (using my home wireless network), the file corrupts, everytime.
Using services such as YouSendIt and WeTransfer, gives the same problems!
I'm desperate for help on this one and I'd even pay someone to resolve it!
