Email attachments showing up only as code

Hi guys, wondering if you can help. I receive excel files and videos via email and on my ipad they are seen correctly. However, on my imac mail they show up as nothing but text (code). Can anyone throw some light on this, and hopefully a solution please. Thanks in advance.

Ask the sender to resend the attachments as zip archives. They're not being encoded properly.

Why are my email attachments showing as being attached but the recipient does not get an attachment?

I currently use the Mail program on my MacBook Pro and am having issues with email attachments. I have read through a few forums and I seem to be doing everything correctly but I am still having problems. I have 3 different email accounts that I have set up through Mail and all 3 are having problems. The steps I take when attaching any document is to compose to a new email, click the paperclip icon or go through the File drop down menu and select Attach Files. With either option, I can see my document inside of my message but when I send the email the recipient only receives the text portion of th email, not any attachment. When I go to my Sent mailbox and find the email I sent, I can see the document within the message but there is not a paperclip icon next to the recipients name indicating that there was an attachment sent.
I have made sure that 'Always send windows-friendly attachments' is selected, and I have tried sending them with 'Always attach at end of message' selected and with it unselected but there has been no difference. I have only noticed this within the last 2 months. Anyone have any advice?

The issue with not seeing the paper clip in your Sent mailbox seems to be totally removed from anything related to recipients, and is something to perhaps yet be addresses in a future update.
To the issue with recipients, I would guess the recipient is using Outlook or Outlook Express, and the message is being sent in Rich Text (a form of HTML) and the recipient either cannot open the attachment, or they have an over zealous anti-virus filter that is removing the attachment out of fear caused by the presence of HTML.
More info about the recipient's platform, please.

Email attachments show up as win.dat.

Ok, apple is really hitting a nerve with this. My iPhone 4 used to have attachments show up as the appropriate extensions up to about 8 months ago. All the forum and blog post say it is a problem with my mail server/source. Ie outlook, rich txt, HTML . Well I've tried everything and was not able to fix the problem. We just got two iPads. And I was playing around with them. I sent a message with attachments to both our email addresses when opened on her ipad she was able to download and view the attachments. However on mine the attachments showed up as a win.dat. I no longer believe this is an outlook issue anyone have any suggestions other then purchasing some third party software or telling me something is wrong with my outlook.

Email Attachments showing up as 0 bytes

I am receiving email from one individual and all his attachements are showing up as 0 byte files.
If i download the messages using netscape or view them using OSX Servers webmail, the attachments can be downloaded fine. But will Mail.app you can't download or save his attachments.
Looking at the raw source, everything appears to be there.
Regards,
Kevin Devane

When you press the save button the only option is save all, nothing appears to happen when it is selected.
Also when you press icon that expands the list of attachment(s) no further file names etc are displayed, even though to the right it says 1 attachment, 0 bytes.
As I said earlier this is only happening to emails received from one sender. He is using some version of OSX Mail, but I cant tell you what version or any other system info on his setup.

Kevin

Email attachments - Network Access Message, Error Code: 500

Hi!
'''Can't open or save attachments from my email''' (after upgrade to Firefox 6.0). By clicking on them, the tab with an error comes (Error Code: 500):
'''Network Access Message: The page cannot be displayed'''
'''Next info:''' If i simply add an 's' to http:// in the error tab link (manually rewrite the adress to https://), '''it works''' and the attachment opens (jpg, pdf, sound file or all others) or can be saved! (comes the dialog window if I want to open or save it).
I am using XP, Mozilla Firefox 6.0.
With IE the same problem.
With Firefox 5.0 came this problem only from time to time, vanished mostly by refreshing the site.
Under W7 on my laptop no problems occured.
I tried to search in the Mozilla support, forums, google and in the Firefox network and proxy setup, but i can't figure it out.
Thanks for advices!

IPad Email Attachments showing up as empty/missing icon question mark

So this is a very odd bug that is happening on both the iPad and iPhone os, albeit it occurs more on the iPad.
When I sent PDF attachments that shows up on my normal apple mail (as a preview PDF inside the email content), it is showing up as a empty icon in the ipad mail even though iPad mail does note it has an attachment with the paperclip mark.
Keep in mind my email acct is synced over imap on the iPad, iPhone, and apple mail. The pdf attachment opens in apple mail without problems.
This problem also occurs on my iPhone but it is less often.
I hope a described the problem well. If anyone like to see the email for themselves contact me at [email protected] and i I'll forward you the email with the PDF attachment.

I was talking about your Mac, but you should probably check that setting everywhere. On the Mac it is in Mail Preferences > Accounts for each account. On the iPad it is in the Settings > Mail. There is also a "Load Remote Images" setting that could have an effect.
I honestly think it is a bug. Does anyone know where is the best place to report this to apple?
The Apple Bug Reporter. But before you report a bug, you really have to try to identify a sequence of steps that can reproduce the error on demand. Otherwise, you are wasting your time and Apple's and they will ignore it. I know that when I submit a bug or enhancement report and an Apple engineer responds with something like "hold down command and shift as documented in the online help" I feel like a real schmuck.

Why do my email attachments open as only one page in Preview, I can't print multiple page documents

Why do my emailattachments open as only one page in Preview? Multiple page attachments only will print as 1 page with very small print?

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

My email storage shows 13.3 GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my mailbox with no attachments. Do I need to back up, delete everything and restore to get rid of the cache?

My email storage show 13.3GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my inbox with no attachments. I assume it's memory cache that's clogging my phone. Do I need to backup and restore to get rid of all of it??

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

How do I limit my email to show only the last 50 as in previous versions?

I updated my phone and now I do not see how to limit my emails to show the last 50 only as I did in previous versions. Anyone no how to do this and to select all for deleting emails?

Hi Katbat,
I think I've *almost* found out how to do this.. sign up for "BC Backups". Sync file with your dropbox. Open the backup file "Orders" and it will show the columns below. Maybe you can cross compare it with the BC report to get your other columns?
We use it to see discount codes / a report on value of invoices where discount codes were used. It's like business catalyst reports on steroids. Hope that helps

I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

TS3899 The previews of my email messages show properly, but when I attempt to call up the full message it only shows addressees, message title and time of dispatch. . I can only recover msg content if i draft a reply or forward msg. How can I resolve?

The previews for my email messages show correctly but when I attempt to call up the full message all that shows are the addressees, title and time of dispatch. I can only view full message content if I draft a reply or forwarding message. How can I resolve this?

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Do you think it might be possible that your phone is a 3G instead of a 3GS? The reason for asking whether this is a possibility is because 3G iPhones cannot be updated any further than ios 4.2.1. 3G and 3GS are very similar in external appearance. One way to tell the difference is that the 3G cannot record videos in the camera app, while the 3GS can do this.
Another way to tell is by introducing your model or serial number in the Apple Support page that identifies your iPhone.

How to block email attachments only from a specific domain?

Using C370 CISCO IronPort How do I block email attachments only from a specific domain?

Hi Daniel,
In order to achieve this, you have three options:
1. Using a new Incoming Mail Policy
- Create a new Incoming Mail Policy and define that domain as sender in policy members.
- Then create an Incoming Content Filter with a condition to match specific file info (for example: filetype, name, size, mime type, etc.)
- Define an action (quarantine, bounce, drop, etc.)
- Enable this filter in newly created Incoming Mail Policy
2. Using existing Incoming Mail policies
- Create a new Incoming Content Filter with condition to match sender address containing that domain.
- Add another condition to match specific file info (for example: filetype, name, size, mime type, etc.)
- Use "Apply Rule" as "Only if all conditions match"
- Define an action (quarantine, bounce, drop, etc.)
- Enable this Content Filter in all Incoming Mail Policies.
3. Using Message Filters
- From CLI -> filters add a new message filter like below:
block_attchment_example_com:
if (mail-from == "(?i)example.com$")
if (attachment-filetype == "exe")
drop();
- Please replace the mail-from domain with the actual domain.
If you wish to block all attachments, you can chose attachment size rule in all of above three options with a really smaller attachment size, this will result in matching messages that has an attachment.
Hope this will help.
