How do I print Mail attachment without saving it first

I'm new to Mavericks. With Mail in Lion, I could scroll to the bottom of an email and double click on the icon for the Word doc or pdf attachment to open it, then hit command P to print it. With Mavericks, it appears that I have to first "save" the document somewhere and then open it and print it. Is this correct?
In most cases, this is an extra step that is unnecessary.
Right now, the attachment displays (opened) within the email, but I don't want to print several pages of an email when all I want is to print the attached doc, for instance, an attached invoice. Also, I can't tell what kind of document it is without saving it, which I don't like. I've tried to find a way around this in preferences but no luck.
I guess what I'd really prefer is to go back to the old Lion version of Mail, or something that approximates it more closely. Do I need to just get over it and realize that I'm going to have to save every attachment if I want to print it or is there a workaround of some sort?

Hi tbirdvet. Even though the content of the attachment now displays as part of the email message, I tried clicking on that portion of the email and, sure enough, the "attachment" popped up in Preview, just like you said. (I kept looking for a Word doc icon or a pdf icon to double click on, but they're no longer found at the bottom of the email or selectable from a drop down menu.)
I'm so glad this worked. Thanks.

How do I open mail attachment without having to save first

I have an iMac with Maverick 10.9.2 and mail version 7.2. I am trying to switch over from my laptop to using the iMac exclusively. The laptop mail version is 4.6. In that version, when I receive an email with an attachment, there's a little icon of the attachment that I can just click on and open it. In the new version (7.2), there's no little icon. Instead, if i click on the attachment, it just shows a file name and I'm forced to choose to "save as" before I can open it. Is there a way to set up my preferences so i can see the icon and click to open without saving?
Thanks!

Open a message that contains attachments.
Then hover your mouse over that line that separates the body of the message from the "To, From, Subject Line." On that line in the center, you are given a few options. Trash, Reply, Forward, and the attachments. Click on the attachments and down at the bottom of that list. You can select the "Quick Look". With the list, you can click on each attachment directly and given an option to download it.

How do i view an email attachment without saving it first?

I would like to (and used to be able to) view my yahoo attachments without having to save them or download them. Is that still possible? Yahoo says that b rowsers handle that (mostly jpg attachments)

Hello,
Please open settings and under '''applications''' (in option) see whether the file types (png,pdf,jpeg) have correct action. If they are always ask they will ask where to save file or do you want to open with some app. If they are save then they will be saved without asking.
For more info you can read the following:

How can i print an email without printing the attachment?

I just got my new macbook pro retina display. I am using Mac mail and want to know how I can print an email without printing the attachement. Any suggestions and solutions would be appreciated.

Thank you for your suggestion. But when I receive an email that has an attachment (shown by paperclip symbol) The email opens and shows the attachment(jpg picture) at the end of the email so when I go to print - the email pops up with the picture already opened inside the body of the email. Can not figure out why this happens in mac mail. when i used outlook in windows only email would show. in order to see attachment you had to click on paperclip and only then would the attachment (picture apprear).
Any other suggestions that I may could try would be appreciated. Thank you! Gabriela

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border?

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border? I'd like the front page to be covered entirely.

You either need a borderless printer, or you have to print on oversize paper and trim off the bleed.

Hi Ralf,
Ref: Receiver Mail Adapter
The attachements are given a .bin extension by default. To change this , the procedure is available in the Mail Adapter FAQ : 856599
Q: Can I choose the name of an attachment in the mail?
A: Yes. Most mail clients use some heuristics based on some MIME headers to derive the name of an attachment. The MIME headers involved in most heuristics are Content-Type, Content-Description, and Content-Disposition. When you create an XI message, the XI payload name is automatically set in the Content-Description. If you want to change or set all of these headers, you can use the MessageTransformBean module (Note 793922) in the adapter framework.
Related questions: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?
Q: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?
There are several MIME headers that play a role in how the client retrieves the file name of an attachment. Unfortunately, this behavior differs among various mail clients. The reason for this inconsistent behavior comes from the fact that this mechanism has been extended incrementally. The old way is to use the name parameter in the Content-Type header as specified in RFC1341. For example, you can set the content type of an XML attachment as:
Content-Type: application/xml; name="abc.xml"
RFC1521 discourages the use of this name parameter in anticipation of the new header Content-Disposition, which is defined in RFC1806.
With this Content-Disposition header, you can set the file name as:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc.xml"
Some clients may show the Content-Description value as the file name. The Content-Description header is typically used to associate some descriptive information to an attachment (RFC1341) as in
Content-Description: my xml file
To avoid potential interpretation problems, it is recommended to combine the use of these headers.
Also, the same note contains all info you wnat on the options of the mail adapter. Take a look at it.

How can I read mail attachment for making it to the payload?

Hi everybody,
in the following my scenario:
I have an incoming message with attachment by the mail sender adapter using PayloadSwapBean (because of other messages I have to use the bean). I want to send this attachment by using the mail receiver adapter to fix E-mail-address keeping the FromMailAddress, the MailSubject and the FileName
without the metadata as additional attachment.
I have found a thread where it is explained how to handle "payload as mail attachment and dynamic filename" by java-mapping. So far so good. My question is: How can I make my attachment to be the payload? How can I read the attachment by java-mapping?
Thanks for help.
Reagrds,
Sebastian Linke

USe payloadSwapBean for this to swap your payload and attachment

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.

Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

How to take print of attached document in PO

Hi,
In ME21N or ME22N, by clicking on "Services for Object" button on the extreme left side of the screen. We can attach any document (This is just below the transaction bar)
I want to know how we can take the print of attached document with the PO itself.
If anybody is having idea about this please share.
My main issue is here user is having 2/3 page word document with each PO that he has to send to vendor.
Everytime he has to write all the things in PO. So i had suggested to attach the file itself but now issue is of print.
If you are having any other option please tell.
Regards,
Umesh Agrawal

Dear,
Since for each purchase order you are creating, a 2, 3 page text has to be attached in attachments.
It is not possible to print purchase order and attachments at the same time. This must be 2 step process, first to print purchase order and next to attachments.
For your situation, try to make purchase order and in item text window, simply copy and paste your 2,3 pages word note to the last line item of purchase order.
For ex. if you have 6 line items in PO, select the last line item and go to Texts in item details and copy paste you word contents.
For seperation of line items and text to vendor you can include some special character indication like below:
SPECIAL NOTES / DIRECTIONS / VENDOR INSTRUCTIONS
This will reduce your routine work of printing PO and attachments seperately. If you do like above, you will get the print of the Purchase order together with text at a time. I tried this.
Regards,
Syed Hussain.

How can I close a document without saving changes?

I'm using Pages 4.3 with OS10.9.1.
Before I upgraded to OS10.9.1, when I closed a document (Command W) it asked me first if I want to save the changes I'd made to the document. I had the option of saving or not saving.
Sometimes I want to close a document without saving the changes, for example if I edit a text, then decide I prefer the unedited version.
But now that I'm using OS10.9.1, when I close a document, it automatically saves any changes I've made.
How can I get back to the original option of saving or not saving changes when I close a document? This option was available with the same version of Pages, when used with an earlier OS.
I've searched the Pages Users Guide, but can't find any answer, or default settings. Pages Preferences doesn't seem to address this.
I'm not using track changes, so I don't think that's the problem.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

[Viking: I am using v4.3. ... See my orginal post.]
But I found the solution, for anyone else who is having the same problem....
Open your computer's System Preferences > General, and click the box "Ask to keep changes when closing documents."
Now, when you close a document in Pages, a window will open giving you the option of saving changes or not.
(I don't know whether this works in Pagesv.5., buty it works with v.4.3)

ITunes 11: How to create a genius playlist without saving it?

In iTunes 11, how can I create a genius playlist without saving it? This was possible in iTunes 10; I could select a song, hit the Genius button to create a genius playlist based off that song, then if I wanted to, I could click a "Save" button to save the playlist. Otherwise, by default the genius playlist would be overwritten the next time I chose "genius" on a different song.

In the "carrot menu" next to each song, I see an option to "Start Genius."
When I select that, the list of songs in my Up Next list changes, but there's no "real place" to see the Genius List like the Genius list in the previous version of iTunes. If you select this from a song that's not currently playing, it will start to play (as in the prev itunes).
I echo your frustration here. So many things seem to be half-way between one model and another.

How do I exit a spreadsheet without saving?

I've made a few changes to a spreadsheet in Numbers and don't like what I've done!
In Excel I'd close it without saving. How do I do this in Numbers?

Lion changed how this works and I am assuming you are using Lion or you wouldn't have this question. If you are using OS X Lion, you will need to go to File/Revert Document and choose Last Opened Version. It will revert back to how it was when you opened it. Now close it.

How do I print a pdf without the standard crop marks that appear when I have created it in Illustrator originally?

Hi
I am so frustrated as I cannot work out why my pdf files that I have created in Illustrator, print out on my printer with crop marks as well as scaling the image to fit them in on the paper. I just want to be able to print it out without the crop marks at the correct and original size it was designed in.
Help Please.

The crop marks are part of the design, no reason why Acrobat wouldn't print them. You could try cropping them out in Acrobat.

How do you print the numbers next to the first column

In Numbers I can't figure out how to print the numbers next to the first column to the left. Say I have 350 people on a list and I want to print the sheet with the numbers next to the people's name, how do I do that. Excel automatically does it. However, I cannot find the option to print and include the numbers from the standard Numbers worksheet. Thanks for your assistance.

In excel it is actually in the page setup dialog. under the "sheet" tab. Numbers doesn't have one table per page (excel is basically one large table of cells). So printing header and column labels doesn't really work in numbers, because those labels don't show up until you click inside the tables. If you notice when you do that they abstruct the view of everything else that might be near the edge of the table.
The other posters response is the best way to do it. you can get column Numbers (but not letters) by using the column command in an extra row at top also. Thre is a way if you really want column letters, but it ain't pretty. Let us know if you want that too.

How to clear a cursor list without clearing the first row??

Hi all, good to see ya ...
I'm having this problem , that i'm using the first row ín a cursor list as a cursor in another graph. The rest of the rows are used as test sets i can add. So when finnish with the tests if some was set, i have to delete or clear the cursorlist(but only the tests and not the first wich is the pointcursor) byy using the graphs cursor list proberty node ' Crsr.List ' and initialising it as showed in picture 1.
Picture 2 shows the cursor list with some test and the cursor name (point cursor) and properties at top. These properties are directly copied to another graph cursor list also at the top and there the point cursor is used as the cursor. The tests are also copied to the other graph cursor list, but when deleting the tests by 'clear button' all data are cleared also the point cursor. That is my problem.
so the question is, how can i clear a cursor list without clearing the first raw and its proberties. any suggestions would be much help for me.

The cursor list is just an array so you can delete the elements that you don't want.
