Evolution and MS attachments

I have a minor annoyance with the evolution mail client. If I try to open an attachment created by a MS application (doc xls ppt) on an email by double-clicking on the attachment icon, it will not open. A right-click to select the openoffice application (writer, calc, impress) will open the attachment. There is only the one option listed, the correct one, when I open the attachment with a right click.
When I run "top" and then double-click on the email attachment, "top" will show wine-server briefly. This makes me think that evolution wants to use wine or crossover office to open the attachment.
I have both wine and crossover-office installed, but not MS Office on either.
I have tried to look through some mime and application configuration files in /usr/share/ and in ~/ but I cannot see what will make evolution try to open MS attachments with wine-server in one instance, and openoffice in another. I would like to know which files would control this behaviour so I can see if it can be corrected.
This PC is running LXDE desktop environment.

Display and Manage Attachments of Generic Object Services in Webdynpro

Hi All,
I need to have a button in the webdynpro that when a user clicks it will pop up a table that display a list of files already attached to a Generic Object Services(GOS) and also allow the user to delete the attachments and upload new attachments.
Can anyone advice me of any Function Modules or Methods that i can use to achieve those functions (retrive and display attachments in the GOS, delete existing attachment from GOS, upload new attachment to GOS).
Thanks and Regards,
weilong

Mail app not showing some png and pdf attachments.

I'm using the iPhone 4s and recently, both mobileme and yahoo email accounts are not showing some png and pdf attachments. I'm seeing the attachment is there, but it doesn't load. Load remote images is turned on in settings. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution/explanation?

My work email account is an IMAP account.
I removed my work email account on my home computer this morning to test out this problem on my computer at work. I just sent a test message to my work account from my iPhone. My iPhone, iPad and computer at work still have my work email active on them and all the devices are showing the test message as new and unread. The problem seems to be that when I have my work email activated on my home computer, the messages do not show new and unread on the rest of my devices.

I re-send a mail with 3 pdf attachmets to an outlook account and the attachments do not arrive to the receiver, if the receiver is a Windows PC. If the receiver is an iPhone the attachments can be accessed til the moment Unload the full message is pushed

Adobe Acrobat X - convert outlook email to pdf and include attachments as pdf

Is there a way to save an Outlook email as a PDF and include attachments as extra pages within the same PDF? I know I can convert an email to PDF and it will include the attachments as links. My end users feel that their clients won't understand the link feature, and/or the paper clip on the side pane. They'd rather convert an email and have it's attachments converted also, making the pdf an email message + converted attachments....all in one process. The only way currently is to open each attachment and convert them individially, then combine the email pdf and attachment pdf together. Too many steps involveed there.
make sense?
Thanks,
Jon Wooten

Same question here, but for Lotus Notes!! Seems ridiculously simple.

How do I convert email and all attachments into pdf?

I have multiple emails with attachments that need to be converted to PDF. Using Adobe Pro 11 I can create an email that is pdf with the attachments embedded in their original format, but not as pdf. I can "un-embed" the attachments and convert to pdf, but I really would like to do it all at once. I used another program previously that worked pretty well, but now the powers that be decided that we could no longer use it as it was not supported.
After selecting a group of emails, here is what I would like to be able to produce:
1) Each email is put into an individual folder. In each folder is a pdf of the email, and a pdf of each of the attachments.
2) Each email and its attachments is converted with the attachments becoming part of the file - producing a long pdf document with the email message followed by the attachments. I was able to do this using the program Message Export which we no longer support.
3) Each email becomes a pdf and the attachments become embedded after they were converted to pdf files.
Any ideas are welcome. Below is what I am currently able to produce.
Thanks.
Kevin
Example: Email message below has multiple file types
I can convert it to PDF, but the attachments stay in their original format, and I need them to be converted to pdf.

Hi Tom F
Please Refer : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS9C160D36-D4E6-4ac5-B27E-48E2FF6CDE52.w.h tml

.pdf and .doc Attachments are downloading as .html files

Dear Forum,
I have received both .doc and .pdf attachments in my email (charter.net).
I click to download, the files then appear on the desktop as Safari files with a example.doc.html file name or example.pdf.html
Of course neither Word or Acrobat Reader can open them without them appearing as scrolling incoherient text...
Why does this happen? I assume the files should download as their true file type such as example.doc or example.pdf
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi WinchesterBunnyMama, what exactly is your problem. Is it this issue:
Some users are finding that an update changed the description of "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Firefox HTML Document". The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry if you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
''*'' If you do not have Adobe Reader 11, you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Can't drag and drop attachments in mail. Major issue!

I have to restart the computer to drag and drop attachments to an email. If I want to do another drag and drop to another email I have to restart again to make it work. It is a real pain. Do any of you guys know if their is a file I can trash to make this work or I have to wait till apple has a update to fix this? Thanks.

When this happens can you drag and drop regular files and icons etc?
I did a clean install, setup several user accounts last night. Dragging and dropping was working in my main user account last night. This morning (computer on all night) I could not drag and drop anything in that particular user account including mail attachements. Other accounts worked fine. Thought it was a permissions issue but they were fine.
Ended up trashing the user account and resetting it up and everything back to normal.

Size of PR and PO attachments

Dear All,
I need to find out the table name where PR and PO attachments are stored as well as the current size of attachments that have been uploaded in the ECC system e.g. table size of 10 GB has 6 GB of procurement related documents (PR/PO attachments) etc.
How can i achieve this?
Kind regards,
Amer.

Hi Jagdeep,
I absolutely agree that this is not a recommended practice. However, I am not the one doing the attachments. I have been recently informed that some people are attaching the documents in this manner. Therefore, I am looking for the information queried above in order to build up my case and discourage this practice for future.
Kind regards,
Amer.

How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

Retrieve and read incoming emails and their attachments

Hi,
Does anyone have experience of retreiving incoming emails and their attachments using PLSQL?
We have a requirement to process the data contained in csv files. These files are sent as attachments with emails and the number of attachments sent with the emails can vary. Is there a way of retreiving emails from a POP3 account and "dettaching" the flat files for import into the database?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Viewing and printing attachments

Hi all
I think perhaps I am being exceptionally thick but I am trying to view and print attachments from an email.
Previously, I used to click on the attachment, open and then print it - hey presto, easy!
Now, however, the only option when I click is 'download to computer'. OK, done that but where is it?
I presume there is some kind of default location for these files once downloaded but I can't find them!
Can anyone tell me where to look, please?

When you click on “Save” a box is brought up giving you option to open, save or cancel. If you click on the small black triangle to the right of the save button it will give you options to save, save as or save and open.
Click on “save as”. This will open the folder where your attachments are being saved to. If you then look in the address box at the top it will show you the path to get to that folder. It will be something like your computer name > documents > downloads. If you then go to that folder you should find your attachment there.
The other option is right click the save button as above but then select save and open and the attachment will then be opened for you and you can save it where ever you want. It will of course mean it is saved in the default location and where you saved it.
You could also change the location you want it to save to by right clicking and selecting save as then select the folder you want to save it into.

Mail not recognizing ZIP and PDF attachments

Since upgrading to Leopard, I have received a few emails with attachments in my work IMAP account. Some of the emails are fine (the ones with XLS and DOC attachments) and others display the attachment as a bunch of encoded text in the email (ZIP and PDF files).
Thunderbird can read all the emails just fine, so I think that the problem is that some kind of mail setting is screwed up or it is a bug in the Apple mail client.
Does anyone know why Apple mail would not recognize the data as an attachment?
Here is an example of what shows up in my email:
--Apple-Mail-17-830733730

We are having a problem were Preview cannot display the text of an attached PDF in an email. Really strange. Shows the formatting of lines and grids graphics etc. But the text is blank.
Acrobat can open and show the file, the text is there.
