Force Attachments as Attachments, not inline

Hi,
I'm using Mail for my work email now, because I'm tired of Thunderbird leaving artifacts on my desktop whenever I open an attachment. I've grown quite fond of it, but for one quirk.
I'm required to deal with .slk files on a regular basis, and for some reason the Mail application forces them in-line. I would prefer to open them with StarOffice, because they're jibberish in-line.
Is there a way to force included files to be treated as attachments, and not in-line? I can't find anything in the preferences.
TIA -
Mike

Greetings,
Mail doesn't force any attachments to be inline; that's determined by the recipient's email client. You can prevent that by sending all mail as Plain Text only, or compress the files into a .zip archive and send that instead.

Attaching files as Attachments, not INLINE attachments

I'm sending images to a client who's on Lotus Notes (7.02). We have discovered an issue with inline attachments in Lotus, where attachments can only be drag and dropped out of Lotus if the attachment was NOT sent as an inline attachment.
This was tested in Thunderbird by changing the mail.contentdispositiontype preference as per this article:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sendattachments_as_realattachments
In any event, the client is not able to switch from Lotus to OS X mail or any other client– as this is a large organization.
The issue is easily fixed on my end by using Thunderbird– but that's not the path that I'd like to take–I'd like to know how to address this in OS X Mail.
I've already clicked on windows friendly, send at end of message, and tried right clicking and setting the attachment to 'show as icon'– all in an attempt to get OS X Mail to send 'real' attachments, as opposed to inline.
Does anyone know of a .plist file, or a hidden preference that can be enabled to address this?
Thanks!

exactly the same with on of my clients (Lotus, blocker, large org...). I have filed an problem case on this.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2183.txt
http://www.iana.org/assignments/mail-cont-disp
My understanding is Apple Mail has no outgoing option (GUI) to set the "Mail Content Disposition Value" to "attachment" (RFC2183 2.2) to have an "user controlled display" as opposed to "inline" (RFC2183 2.1) and "displayed automatically" on the side of the recipient.
In short the Summary (RFC2183 4.):
+"Content-Disposition takes one of two values, `inline' and `attachment'. `Inline' indicates that the entity should be immediately displayed to the user, whereas `attachment' means that the user should take additional action to view the entity."+
I also suggest we should also have a preference for incoming mail to not display content at all as "inline" regardless of the Content-Disposition Value if we want to.
Btw. I am also missing the option (MDN) to request a notification that a message is delivered/read.

How do I email photos taken on the iphone, without having them embedded in the email? I would like to have them as attachments, not shown in the body of the email.

@ Philly
Yes there is,
When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

I have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

My clients requested the form has the validation when I add attachments to a PDF, the total sizes of these attachments not more than 9 Mb. I can just check the size of each attachment but I cannot check the total sizes of the attachment. I am not sure what I am doing wrong the coding is unsuccessful. Please help!!!!
Thank you very much.

Attachments not showing as attachments in mail

Why are my attachments not showing up as attachments when recieved. They are sent from Mail as windows "friendly" - but never the less always show up inlaid in the mail. The recipient then have to ctrl clik on the documents, save them on the harddrive before being able to fx print.
very annoying indeed - please can anyone help on this :-)

thanks for quick responce - but the problem lies with the recievers of MY mails - where the attachments is only inlaid and not showing as an attachment. The reciever then have problems opening attachments in i.e. Photoshop, and they cannot print the attachments directly from the mail..

Is there away to send an email message on the ipad with a photo attachment "not" inline in the message?

I need to send an email message on the ipad with a photo as an attachment "not" inline in the message? I do not want the photo embedded in the email message. I'm using exchange on the ipad.

Apple Mail will display attachments that are one page or less. While the photo will be displayed it is sent as an attachment. The recipient can click and drag the photo to their desktop just like any other attachment.

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!
L

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...

Imovie won't open on mac. i've restarted and "forced-quit" move. not responding. any suggestions?

iMovie won't respond. I've restarted and "forced-quit" move, but not getting a response. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions... tried changing resolution and that had no effect, and I've checked my Perian and DivX installations in System Preferences and both say they are completely up to date. I upgraded Quicktime today to 7.5 before all of this became a problem -- but I don't know how to upgrade iLife. In Software Update everything is completely up to date (eg each of the iLife apps).
Oh well, iMovie is not very useful to me anyway -- just somehow annoying that it fails to work. No point flogging a dead horse!!
Any other ideas gratefully received... many thanks in advance

Attachments not displayed inline for quoted printable email

I have one correspondent who uses Outlook on a Mac - no attachments from their emails are displayed in line. I believe that it is due to the fact that the HTML part has content transfer encoding equal to "quoted-printable" and all of the image tags have src=3D"...",
e.g.
<img src=3D"cid:C24BE50E-5D6F-46D3-9EFB-1C569F35CA70" type=3D"ima=
ge/png">
The 3D" seems to be the only difference in a view source compared with an email generated by Thunderbird.
Is there any way of correctly displaying these emails?

Before: attachments not in body of letter. Now: attachments in body of letter - not wanted so. How do I fix?

A few days ago when I used Thunderbird in sending e-mail messages as I would place an attachment it would just stay as an attachment and there was not change to what I had entered in the body of the message.
Now when I make an attachment to an e-mail message, the attachment holds with the message, but also becomes part of the body of the message. i.e. form or picture now showing in full in body of e-mail message.
I want to know how to change Thunderbird back so the attachments just stay attachments only.
Thanks.

Mail - GMAIL - Attachments Not Showing UP

Suddenly on my iPad, for no apparent reasons, some of emails with attachments are showing up just plain ordinary emails with no attachments. There is no paperclip logo on the e-mail. I logged into the account on Safari browser and it appears those emails have been classified as an inline attachment. Again no paperclip logo on the emails. But, I am not sure that would be the reason behind the sudden disappearance of attachments on iPad because when I initially received those emails I could open/view the attachments on iPad. I did forward the e-mail to quite few people, though.
On my iPhone (3G, iOS 4.2) I don't appear to have the problem.
I have restarted iPad. I have re setup the account, etc. But still nothing.
What could be the cause?

I have this happen all the time; it seems to be a known bug with Mail, and Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing it. Every week or so Mail will stop showing attachments. If I quit Mail and restart it, then it shows them and everything's fine. It's extremely annoying.

Attachments not displaying

So, I've had a bunch of random things happen to my PowerBook lately, and I think they might be related.
First my iPhoto library became corrupted. Then I somehow lost my Address Book. I've been to the Genius Bar twice to have these problems fixed, so I'm no longer concerned with them, except in a general sense that there has been a series of random things happening to my PowerBook in a short period of time.
Anyway, now, my Mail program is acting weird: First of all, a bunch of e-mail that I had recently saved to folders "On My Mac" no longer displays, instead I get a message telling me to take my account online to download the message - despite the fact that my account is online.
A bigger problem is that many attachments that previously worked (PDF and JPG files, now display as simply large, large strings of random characters preceeded by something like this: --part129f.4acb6d6.3112c42e_relboundary
Content-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="ygp3496.jpg"
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Any idea what's going on with my computer - especially Mail, and how to fix these problems?
Powerbook G4 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Greg,
Received and thanks!
I can replicate the problem, but found out that I have not yet installed Flip4Mac on my other computer, and have not had time to test in any but my primary boot volume. When I control-clicked on the attachment and selected to open with WMV, I got a message that my Flip4Mac was out-of-date. But updating did not correct the problem as others have found
I will need some time to chase this some more, and to raise a flag about it.
Ernie
