How to attach files to mail

When I attach files to mails (.pdf, .jpg, .docx etc.), they arrive in Windows Outlook embedded. My mail settings are "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" and "Always Insert Attachments at End of Message".
I know how to open these attachments in Windows Outlook but my recipients do not. To suggest that they learn how to, as I have seen in some places, is arrogant. If I apply for a job by email and attach my resume with instructions on how to open it will reduce my chances of getting that job close to zero.
How can I attach files that will be received as files and can be opened by the MS Windows recipient with left mouse clicks?

Another way to send files to others is to use Dropbox.
In your email you don't attach the file, but rather include a link that you reciepeints then use to download the file.
I use this method for particularly large files, but it can be used for any file.

How to attach files from "Office" to E Mail

Hi,
I am using a Nokia Lumia 720. and I have an outlook account, which I use with regularity.
I have faced a problem which is still not resolved - how to attach files in the mail.
1. You open Outlook Mail or any mailbox that you are using and then you click on the "attach file" icon and you are taken directly to Albums. But the word, excel files which you want to use are stored in "Office". There is no way you can attach a file from "Office" after you have typed your mail.
2. So I used to go to "Office" first, select the file, share it in Outlook or any mail I am using, and then type out my mail. But in this way I could send only one attachment.
I believe that there is a way to address this issue and I would like to know how?
Shall be obliged for your suggestion/solutions.
Regards
Biplab Paul

hi mate, in the upcoming Lumia Black update, the Microsoft part of the update (GDR3) has enhanced support for attaching Office format files. the Lumia black update is expected to start rolling out in early 2014.

How to attach files in the new BT Yahoo system

Can anyone tell me how to attach files to an email in the new system, please? I have a particular reason which is too complicated to go into here why occasionally I want to send files using web-mail rather than an email client (yes, I do know that's the best way). When I click the "attach" tab, I get an (apparently) helpful page which enables me to add several files at once. But there's no "continue" or "do it" button to get me back to the email I've started, and since ther's no tabs in the new system, I'm stumped.
Solved!

How to attach files to the thread we post in this forum?

How to attach files to the thread we post in this forum?
I’m wondering why there is no feature that allows attaching files from our hard drives! It is not practical to upload our file first in a certain web to provide it as a link in the post.
Is there a way to attach our files directly from our hard drive to the post?
Please, have a look on the screenshot below that shows a forum which includes all the very basic features!
Thank you for the help

Pierre,
Just a guess on my part, but I would suspect non-image files in this case.
As Ted points out, that WAS possible early on, and then the capbility to attach non-image files, was actually retained by a certain few forums, though not for long. This change was coincidental with a major spam attack, and at least one disgruntled user attempting to attach some rather nasty "stuff." I do ot know if those events prompted the change, as I was not part of the decision making group, that initiated the change.
Though 95% of the files that I wish to attach, ARE image files, there are times, where a TXT file would be ideal, say for a crash log, or similar. Now, I can convert that TXT to a PNG, but then one has to work with pixel x pixel dimensions, and some files, like those crash logs, can be rather long.
Personally, I find the loss of the Attach File (was via a button at the bottom-left of the editing screen) to be a sad comment on the actions of some, on these forums, but then that just reflects life outside of the forums.
Hunt
PS - I am glad that you found that little article useful Especially in the PS, PrPro, PrE and Encore forums, screen-caps can tell so very much about what is going on with a person's program, system or their Projects/Images.

Can't attach file in mail since the last update

Have updated the IOS to 10.8.5, ever since , I'm not able to attach files to mail ....... Any solutions ?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

How to attach files in a mail from user4s PC in a Portal aplication

Hello,
I am trying to send a mail with attachments from PL/SQL but I don4t know what must I do to attach files from the user's PC. Our aplication is developed with Portal.
Does anybody knows any java program than can be used like portlet who opens the Outlook??
Thank you.

You can use methods listed inside Fuego.IO, but they don't work if you run your process in a client, I mean not the server.
You can use JSP or methods developed in java in order to upload your files and Fuego.IO methods to access them after you upload them.
Another thing you should consider is that if you upload files using Fuego library, there's a size limit for files.

How do you attach files in mail only as icons?

When I am attaching files (in particular PDF's or Power Point) to an email message in Apple mail the file is opened and attached to the end of the message.
How can I attach it only as an icon or convert it to an icon.

I tried your suggestion on "compressing the file' in Finder and it attached the zip file. The only problem is it created an additional file (zipped) on my drive.
Thanks

Problem with attaching files to mail message

Hello,
I have problem with my mail app. I'm using spaces for better organization. When I wanna add some file to mail message I usually go to different desktop (space), where I have the file I wanna attach. I grab it move to right up corner to activate spaces, than move to desktop (space) with mail.app and press spacebar (it activates the desktop immediately). At that time it also start random app, which is in my dock.
You can see it in my youtube video.
How can avoid this strange thing happen?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUypUnPHZvc
I'm using MacBook Pro 15'', Snow Leopard - latest updates. I've reinstalled my mac two days ago, so no garbage should be in.

Thanks for quick reply.
I don't have selected "always..." so I also tried it with selected "always...".
Now I discovered that it has nothing to do with the mail. I've tried just move some file from one of spaces (desktop) to another using the spacebar for faster switching and it did the same. It opens random app from Dock.
So now this topic is in wrong discussion. I will post it to correct discussion...

I can't download attached files on Mail iOS 7

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 to the last released version of iOS 7 I'm unable to open attached files to my Mail messages. It says Tap to Download but nothing happens? I've tried restarting the iPhone and the iPad, and I've already activate in the Mail control panel the switch that allows to download images.
Any suggestions?
Best
Alberto

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Attach file to mail with "unusual" characters

Hi
I have made a procedure that can send mail with attached file/files. But when I attach a text file that contains characters like (Å, Ä or Ö) these characters gets like (A, A and ?) when I recieve the mail to my mail client. When I look at the file on the disk before I attach it the characters is OK but when I attach the file and mails it the characters get replaced. So why does the charaters get messed up when I attach the file to a mail??

Hi Madhu,
Using the default modules PayloadSwapBean and MessageTransformBean you can able to send multiple attachments.
swap.keyName :payload-name or payload-description or content-type, content-description. swap.keyValue: If you have a multiple attachments then give the multiple key value.
Like you have payload name
Attachment1, Attachment2 then
swap.keyName payload-name
swap.keyValue Attachment1, Attachment2
Using the MessageTransformBean you can able to change the file name.
PayloadSwapBean:

Cannot save attached files in Mail

My problem has to do with using the Mail program on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks. Lately when I receive an email with a file attachment (image, Word doc, PPT file, whatever) I cannot save the attached file.
I point to the attachment "download" dialog box, and choose either the "save all" option or the specific attachment filename shown, then navigate to the desired folder and hit "save". But no file is created.
The attachments are there - if I look at the same email using the gmail web-based mail utility I can easily download it. It's a problem with the Apple Mail client.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
Jerry

Zips and other archived/compressed files won't work as expected on an iPad since you can't just preview/view the contents directly from the attachment currently like you can with quicktime-compatible or other common media formats. Basically you would need to be able to save the zip file to the finder and extract it, and view the contents from there. But since the iPad doesn't have anything like a user-accessible Finder, it's tricky to implement.
There may be third-party apps that deal with this eventually (or maybe even something from the upcoming 4.0 software, who knows), but it would probably be easier to just have people send you attachments that aren't zipped up for now.

How to attach files in a Oracle BPM Studio process?

Thanks everyone.
