How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone ?

How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone email?

You can't.
All attachments must be encoded before being sent and MIME 1.0 is the industry standard for message encoding.
When receiving a message with an attachment file type that cannot be recognized by the email client and/or by the computer/device used, MIME attachment will appear instead.
This can mean the attachment that was sent is a file type that cannot be accessed/viewed by the iPhone. I also see the same on occasion when a received message was forwarded by the sender and the message received by the sender contains an attachment that can be accessed/viewed by the iPhone but the original message that was forwarded was composed in HTML which can do screwy things with email on occasion - personally I wish HTML would be forbidden with the exchange of email - this along with forbidding the use of the AOL program to send email with attachments.

  • TS1347 ios 7: how can i open a mime-attachment.ics file?

    since i installed ios7 on my iphone i can not open mime-attachment.ics (invitation sent from an outlook email) files in my calendar. does anyone know what i can do to open these files in my calendar?

    All email attachments are encoded before being sent are encoded with MIME.
    If your receive an email attachment that is not recognized by the computer or mobile device, that usually means there is not an application available on the computer or mobile device that is compatible with the attachment type.
    For the iPhone's email client:
    Viewable document types
    .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel); .zip; .ics

  • How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    That is a dedicated Windows format for Microsft Works ( now obsolete) and there is no direct conversion on the Mac side. There are workabouts:
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6132993_open-wps-files-mac.html
    The best thing is to encourage those who send such files to use "Save as..." from Works to save the file in another format. I believe Works allows the .rtf format that will open in TextEdit on the Mac. If they have the .doc option, you can open the file with Apple's Pages, Word for Mac, or any of the free productivity suites like LibreOffice.
    I received .wps files on a Win computer that did not have Works and it did not get very far either. Sounds like someone is not very accustomed to sharing files online.
    Can you tell us what model iMac you have and what Mac OS version it is running? "iOS" is not a Mac computer OS; runs only on iDevices.

  • How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • I have entered my gmail id as my apple id, and created another icloud id. Now my mailbox shows No mail. Is this mailbox shows icloud mailbox or my gmail mailbox? How do i open my gmail mailbox in my iphone? or simply will have to download a gmail app?

    I have entered my gmail id as my apple id, and created another icloud id. Now my mailbox shows No mail. Is this mailbox shows icloud mailbox or my gmail mailbox? How do i open my gmail mailbox in my iphone? or simply will have to download a gmail app?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Mail opens as "mime-attachment"

    Many times when I get emails, they arrive as a blank mail document with a "mime-attachment". It happens in Mail 3, Mail 2 and in both 10.4 and 10.5. I can open the mail in text-edit. Sometimes I can simply read the email, many times, I can see the references to websites and files. Obviously, this is not how it is meant to display.
    Is there a setting or preference I'm missing?
    Thanks folks

    I'm having the same problem. It has nothing to do with incoming or outgoing attachments, or the incoming message having been forwarded. It happened with 2 incoming messages this morning. They were sent directly to me, not forwarded, and did not have attachments as such, (although they may have contained graphics--e.g., color, special fonts, little pictures). If I go to my webmail, I can read the text of the messages, but when they are downloaded to "Mail (2.1.2)", I see only "mime-attachment". The suggestion of one poster to add the extension .eml, then try to open, did not work for me. Is there no solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

  • How do you open a .dat attachment with Lion?

    Can anyone tell me how to open a .dat attachment now the Lion no longer supports the Tnef Enough program?

    The problem is that MS Outlook thinks that it is sending attachments to another Windows-based Outlook installation (actually its MS Exchange that's the culprit but we won't go there). So an easy fix is to have your son change your entry in his Outlook address book to indicate that you cannot receive RTF format files.
    Also, you can download a very nice app, TNEF's Enough http://www.joshjacob.com/mac-development/tnef.php
    It will enable you to drag and drop those pesky .dat files into TNEF where the attachment will open and enable you to save the individual files in their proper format.

  • How do i open an email attachment in pages app on ipad ?

    HHi, I have been sent an email with an attachment that I need to complete and send back, I have purchased the pages app but I cannot work out how to open the attachment in pages? Can anybody help please?

    First of all it has to be compatible with Pages. It has to be a .doc, .docx, or a native Pages document or you will not be able to open and edit it in Pages. If it is one of those file types' just tap and hold down on the attachment icon in order to bring up the Open In window. Select Pages from the Open In window and the document will open in the Pages app. If the document is already open, tap on the screen to enable the share icon in the up upper right, then tap that icon to invoke the Open In window,
