Help-Attachments showing up in the body of my email
I would like to know how to keep my attachments from showing up in the body of the emails I send and receive. We often send a catalog as an attachment. When a customer opens the email, and when we open the emails sent, the attachment is always open and included in the body of the email. How can stop this from happening? It is a nuisance in many cases.
Thanks, Cindy
David,
Look closer -- I am Ernie, and it was I, and not Cindy who posted.
What I am saying is that what you see in the Compose window is only Mail performing what is called View in Place. It is unrelated the file or image being an attachment, and it does not embed it. Just because you saw the image View in Place, does not determine whether the recipient will see it that way -- that is solely determined by the functioning of their email client.
There is a reason to see the JPEG display, and that is for verification that it is the one you intended. If you don't want to see it after it first appears, Control-click on it, and choose View as Icon. However, that will have no impact on what is sent, or how the recipient receives it.
AOL is different, in that if it is showing the image in the message, it is embedding it, and not attaching it. This often causes the recipient various problems, including sometimes inhibiting the saving the file on the recipient computer HD.
Even with AOL and attaching, if received by Mail or by Thunderbird, for example (settings may apply) the JPEG you attached will Inline View.

Why are PDF attachments are showing up on the body of emails, instead of as actual attachments?
PDF attachments are showing up in the body of my emails rather than as attachments. I need to be able to open them in other programs, eg notability, mad can't do that if they're not real attachments. On my other devices they're showing up at regular attachments.
When a PDF that has only one page is attached to an email the Mail app will display the conte tents of the PDF in the body of the email. But the PDF is still an attachment. Tap on the PDF to open in iBooks or forward it to your computer to open it there. Again, the one page PDF will display the contents of the single page but the PDF is still an attachment and can be used like any other attachment.
When a PDF that has more than one page is attached to an email the Mail app only displays the icon for an attachment. -
I have only had my Mac for 2 weeks and when I received emails with photos the photos automatically showed up in the body of the email, now I have to physically open it with Quick Look to look at them. How did this change? Its really frustrating, I cannot find anything by googling this problem.
My preferences are set as rich text is there anything else I need to do?
Thank you

Attachments that don't show up in the body of the message
Whenever I want to send email with an attachment, the attachment shows up in the body of the message. I don't want this. I just need it to attach itself and let the recipient open it. How do I accomplish this? Thanks!
Your music will ONLY be where you put it.
It will not magically appear anywhere.
You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Leaving your e-mail address on a public forum may not be wise. -
When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?
It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment. -
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.

When I attach a file to outgoing mail it shows up in the body of the e-mail. How can i make it only show up at the end or elsewhere?
Edit > Attachments > Insert Attachments at End of Message. If a new message is the active window, the option applies only to that message. If you don't have a new message open, then the option becomes Always Insert Attachments at End of Message.

How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?
How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?
You can right click or command-click on the image in the email and select "view as icon".
You can change the default behavior of Mail.app so that it always shows the attachment as the icon:
open a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
at the prompt, type in this (it must be exact, or copy and paste it in if you have trouble typing things precisely):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Then hit return.
To revert to the previous default (where the attachment is visible in-line), you just enter the same command with "no" instead of "yes" at the end.
In either case, however, how the viewer of the email sees the attachment (either as an icon or in-line) depends on how their email client is set up, not on how you send it.

The body of my emails does not show up in Mozilla, but works in Internet Explorer.
Well it depends on what webmail client you're using. If you're using yahoo, then there is no way to do it. I asked them a couple of years ago and they replied back that they had no plans in the future for the option embed a picture in their mail. if you're using Hotmail, there is a program called Live Mail Client that will let you embed a picture in your email but it's only for Windows. Maybe in the Future they will build one for Mac OS's. Not sure about Gmail.

On very few occasions, when I receive a new e mail, old e mails (from 2+ years ago) show up in the body of the new email (subject line and sender are current, info in body is old deleted e mail)
I would try the Rebuild command. Your mail database may have been messed up.

Why are my attachments loaded into the body of my email
I just started using mail instead of Thunderbird. When I want to include an attachment (a document) in an email, it opens into the body of my letter instead of being an attachment that the sender can open. How to change that?
imac running maverick 10.9.2Yes, I am the sender and the problem originated with me, not the recipient. (I had already selected "always insert attachments at end of message" but it doesn't seem to hold after logging in to mail again. ) Everytime I chose a file to attach from my desktop or documents, it inserted itself completely open in the body of my email, directly beneath the text. Whenever I tried to delete only the attachment, it saved a copy of my message in the trash (including the open attachment) This continued despite quitting mail, restarting, and even after updating to 10.9.2. This evening I got the attachment to paste as a thumbnail, so I don't know what is going on. I sent a test message and it seemed ok. Hopefully it will last. Could this have been cause by an email I received with a document open in the body?
Another question...I notice when I view messages in my "sent' folder as a list, there isnt any attachement icon like I see in my inbox..why? If i open the individual message, the paperclip icon is displayed -
I cannot paste pictures from a website or a document into the body of an email. I use Gmail and AOL and cannot insert pictures. No problem on my old PC, just my MacBookPro. Using MountainLion.
Any instructions to solve my problem?So I can just put my output variable into the email body variable.... since it's a table with headers should I do anything special for formatting the table?
My output now looks like :
ServerName
Owner
SupportContact
SupportExternal

How do I "link" an email address in the body of an email?
I know how to link a web url, but I cannot find a way to link an email address in the body of an email. I want the recipient of my email to be able to click on the email address that is displayed in my message and have it open a new email to that address on their computer like I have done in every other mail software. Thanks in advance for your help.
Highlight some text in the message body, Insert/Link (Ctrl-L), enter mailto:[email protected] in the Link Location box.
