How to open attachment in mail

I am new to Mac. I have been receiving .wmv attachments with some e-mails and do not know how to open them. I double click the icon and just get a bunch of "code" or whatever it is. Is there a way to open these attachments?

Hello froesgirl:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The other posters are correct. As a bit of background, Microsoft stopped supporting WMV for Macs sometime ago (apparently they have started again, as I just learned). However, they did provide a free link to Flip4Mac that allows WMV files to play in Quicktime.
This link will give you two options:

I use Flip4Mac myself and it works very well.

How to open Attachment to a workitem in edit mode ?

Hi all,
How to open Attachment to a workitem in edit mode ?
Example if I attach a FI doc by binding BO BKPF to Attach_objects .. How can I open the attached FI doc in edit mode .
Regards,
Naval bhatt.

if I attach a FI doc by binding BO BKPF to Attach_objects
As Per my understanding that you created a FI DOC by using the BO BKPF , now you want to attach this instance of the BO to the &_ATTACH_OBJECTS&.......
If this is the case than you should know about the BO SOFM which is used to attach the BO to the Workflow..
First go through the BO SOFM in SWO1.
Secondly for passing the Key fields for the BO SOFM you need to refer to the table SOFM in SE11.
Note: The BO name and the table name both are same SOFM.

An open attachment in mail??

How do I create a message in Mail where the attachment is already open with the message is opened. I don't want the person receiving to have to open the attachment.

Jaysun:
What you are asking is not able to be done reliably and for a good reason: it would be an easy avenue for an attacker who wanted to send executable programs, which travel in attachments, to would-be targets.
But, I wonder if there is something else. What do you want to send and what do you want the result to be? I am wondering if you asked about what you thought might be a solution to something you want to do, but did not ask about the thing you wanted to do.
Put another way: What kind of attachment? What are you looking to be the result of opening the email?

How to add attachment to mail?

When composing a new email or while replaying to an email, how do I add the attachment that could be a picture or a document, spreadsheet or presentation.

In the iOS world, you start in the app that the attachment comes from. If you want to send a picture, open the photo app, find the picture or pictures, tap the output button, and select e mail. If you want to send a doc or spreadsheet, start in the pages, numbers, or whatever app you created the document in.
This is backwards from the windows way, but once you get used to it, works fine.

How to access attachement in mail adapter

Hello,
i receive mails with an xml file attached with the mail adapter. Within the integration engine i can see that the adapter creates a message with two parts in the payload "MailAttachement-1" and "MailMessage". When i configure a file writer for my message i only get the content of the "MailMessgage" part (which contains only the sender, subject, mailtext ... and not the data i need (= "MailAttachement-1")). I tried several settings within the mail adapter configuration (user Mail Package, keep Attachements) -> no success.
How can i get access to the "MailAttachement-1" within the mapping?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
If you want only the header data of the file (expecting you are having other data also) then it is not possible to do so without mapping. What I would suggest is to do the mapping for header and use this in ID.
So configure two receivers one for mail and another with file. In the receiver determination for the mail you use mapping and for file you dont use mapping at all. This would resolve your issue.

Cannot open attachment in mail

Once I've replied to an email with an attachment in it I can no longer return and open the attachment. I'm given the opportunity for a "quick look" when the mail first comes in but that's it. And once I reply i cannot return to the original message alone, its part of a thread.
So frustrating and confusing, hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail it opens and is pasted into the e-mail. How do I attach it as a file?

It is an attachment, it is the way Apple Mail program displays it. When you add the attachment by either using the attach clip or drag and drop, have your cursor were you want the file to be, i.e. under text you have already written.
You can test for yourself that they are still attachments, log into the web account of your email if it as one and send an email to yourself from Apple mail with an attachment and on the web account it will show as an attachment.

You can use the Share button on Preview's toolbar. Choosing Email pops open Mail with the PDF already iconified as an attachment. If it doesn't behave this nicely for you, select the PDF in Mail and choose the right contextual menu, where you will find View as Icon. I also have Send Windows-Friendly attachments enabled.

Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.
