I down loaded snow lepoard and now my attachments in mail can't open, it is defulted to open with the VLC reader, how do i change that so I can read attachments

That's because you are in the active window for setting up a mail account. Either configure a mail account or cancel out so that the Mail application is now active.
Or, download RCDefaultApp - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to set up your default applications. It's freeware.

Adding attachments in Mail - strange defaults???

When I am attempting to add attachments to an email in Mail, I get some strange defaults that appear. Everything indicates that I am in DOCUMENTS but what I see is GarageBand and iTunes. If I choose anything else and then go back to DOCUMENTS then the list of my documents appears correctly. However, the first time I hit the attach (paperclip) icon, I always get this. Any ideas?

Not sure why you can't add attachments other than by dragging onto a new Mail window, but you might want to make sure that you have Windows-Friendly Attachments selected in Mail's Edit menu. Also, clicking on the attachment in the body of the email and selecting 'view as icon' sometimes helps recipients receive the attachment.
On a general note, sometimes Mail's handling of attachments is lacking, in my experience - especially when sending them to PC-users. Most users don't seem to have a problem but some do. The only way I have managed to ensure that Mail handles all attachments as hoped and ensure that recipients have no problems with them is to install the paid for plugin called Attachment Tamer. You can run it in demo mode to test it before deciding to buy: http://lokiware.info/
(I've no connection with Lokiware, just happy to recommend their software which I have used for some years).

View attachments in mail program through lightroom

I would like to be able to see all the attachment images in my mail program on my mac.

I would like to look at all the images people have sent me from the past, images that were sent as attachments. I would like to see them all at once like you can do in lightroom.

View attachments as icons

I have a simply question. What can i do for viewing attachments in mail as icons?
I have the same in panther and in tiger. Deactivating the preference seems haven't any effect. Can anyone help me?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

All image type and smaller PDF attachments (1-2 pages) appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when attached to a message which cannot be turned off.
If preferred, you can control-click on the viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon.
Regardless, such attachments are sent as true attachments to the message and depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, the attachments may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened (such as the Mail.app) or as attached files which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
The preference pane you are referring to is for HTML received that contains embedded images and/or objects that must be downloaded from a remote server to be viewed and you do not want to automatically render all HTML received. This has no effect on receiving image/picture files that are attached to a message.

Pdf files as attachments in Mail

Sometimes pdf attachments in mail are saved as a pdf file with icon other times the document is visible and fills the whole page - How can I ensure only the pdf file is attaced and not the open document - seems to be there is no reason as to why this is ?
Using Blackbook + Leopard latest updates

Don't understand the reply above; I assume it's for another thread.
Not to worry: Mail will show you the pdf if it can but when you send it the file will be attached. If the other person's mail reader can view attachments inline then it will and there's nothing you do about that.

Cannot view attachments

I cannot view attachments sent thru an email nor can I view anything sent from store advertisements. When the Gap sends me an email and I open the email I cannot view the pictures or advertisement's. The picture looks like it would if it were sent to my trash. I am an old iPhone user.
Thanks.

Glad that worked, android is a learning curve we all get those moments.

What is the default/factory brightness that comes with a Macbook?

Bought the Macbook in early 2010. Just wondering because I always change it and wanted to know the default/factory setting it comes with when you buy it.

It's best to start a new thread when you have a question. The settings your looking for is under *System Preferences* then go to *Energy Saver*. There you can change the settings so the display never dims.

Why can I no longer seemingly have the "option" in Yahoo Mail, to "View" attachments, and not just "download" them in my incoming emails?

When I use IE browser to open my YAHOO EMAIL "classic" or "New" account, and I open an "inbox email", I have the option of "viewing" attachments, or "downloading" attachments.
I used to have that "dual" option, seemingly, using Firefox Browser, which I prefer to use.
Now, when I open my "Classic" or "New" Yahoo Email Account/s, with Firefox Browser, I no longer have the option, seemingly, to "VIEW" the attachments, but only the option to "Download" them, which I prefer not to do.
I have tried this using the older version 3.6 and the new version 9 of Firefox with the same results. No "Dual Attachment Viewing/Downloading" option in Yahoo Mail anymore in either the "Classic" or "New" versions of Yahoo Mail.
Can I correct this or change this back to the older "DUAL" OPTION of "Viewing" and/or "Downloading" attachments...or is this just the way the New FireFox Browser works.?
This is only happening to me with YAHOO.COM Email Accounts.

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

Changing Views in Leopard Mail...2 Pane view as opposed to default?

Does anyone know how to get Apple Mail in Leopard to have the 2 pane view as opposed to the default 3? In Tiger I had it, but I can't remember. Before Leopard all my information was in vertical columns I much prefer that view...thanks!

Do you mean you want the preview pane gone? You can double click the little divider between the upper list and the lower preview to toggle between showing or hiding the preview area. Or you can drag it to resize it however you like.

Default view when opening Mail

Hi there,
Is there a way to choose the default view when opening Mail? I would like it to show the inbox of 1 of my accounts, rather than the last read mail. Or the list of mailboxes if poss.
Thanks!!

You can view attachments in e-mail, you cannot download them.

Mail.app- 'Remove Attachments' corrupting mails

I have a weird issue that I've not seen mentioned anywhere. Wondering if anyone can give me any debugging tips.
I'm using Mail 5.0 in Lion 10.6.1 (issue was occurring in 10.6.0 as well).
I have Mail connected to Exchange Server 2010.
I have a fairly tight restriction on mailbox sizes so I have to remove attachments from emails before I file them.
My problem is this; about 1 in 3 times I remove an attachment the 'replacement' e-mail is full of gibberish characters.
Typically if I look at the raw source of the e-mail then the text version of the mail is retained correctly- it seems to be the Base64 encoded version that is corrupted.
Any idea what I can do to debug this? I have tried removing the envelope files and removing/adding the account back in and re-syncing it but the issue has reappeared.
I've reported this to Apple on http://bugreports.apple.com but have not had a response.
Thanks in advance.

Edward- do you mean Entourage mailbox or Exchange mailbox? i.e. are you using mail.app or Entourage/outlook as your mail client?
Assuming you meant Exchange mailbox on mail.app, the steps you would take are simple;
1- Save attachments
In the mail, click the 'Save' button (next to the 'Quicklook' button) to save all attachments to your normal folder (this folder is changeable in the settings- the default is to save to your 'Downloads' folder).
2- Move the mail to a local mailbox.
If you don't already have a local mailbox then select Menu: Mailbox/New Mailbox... and in the dialog box select 'On my Mac' to save the mailbox locally instead of on the Exchange server.
To move the message you select menu: Message/Move to... and select the local mailbox
3- Remove attachments
View the local mailbox, select the message you moved in there and do menu: Message/Remove Attachhments
(I have added a keyboard shortcut for this as I do it a lot)
Because it's a local mailbox the message should be stripped of its attachments without corruption.
4- File the message
Now that the message has been stripped of the attachments, file the message in whatever mailbox you want with menu: Message/Move to...
Hope this helps.

View attachments in message

How can I toggle on/off the view attachments function in Mail?. It is currently off (I did something) and now can't seem to return to the default view. Thanks in advance.

Carolyn thanks for your response. I was actually referring to the ability to view the attachment in the body of the message rather than the QuickLook function - so for example, a photo would actually display in the body of the message without using the cmd y. This is the default state, but during my endless tinkering I did something to prevent attachments from automatically displaying. Which I now just remembered - it is an option in Cocktail! Thanks for the assistance!

Attachments in Mail

Attachments in Mail. Why do picture files go into message as open files and text messages as icons?

Sorry this does not seem to work. I use OS 10.8.2 on an iMac. Right click on desktop's small icon does not show VIEW AS ICON. View Menu at top of page shows view as icon but greyed out. After loading full image into page, size can be reduced by selecting SMALL in top RH box, but this moves any text to bottom of page.
One suggestion in Apple Support says Ctrl 1 should do the same as your right click but this did not work either.
I have no trouble with icons for text files as attachments. These behave as expected.

How do I view attachments in gmail

Attachments used to come up in their own window. Suddenly they started being treated like a downloaded file and there was an arrow on the toolbar. I did not like this method of viewing attachments so I deleted the arrow. Now the attachments go directly to my download file and I have to go there to read the file.
How do I get back to my original way of viewing attachments?

# Click the menu button ([[Image:New Fx Menu]]) and choose Customize.
# Click "Restore Default"
#Click the menu button again to exit
#Now you should see the arrow again
To open the attachments, click on the arrow then the name of the file.
Or click on the arrow, then "Show All Downloads"
I don't think there is a setting to open downloads in a new window as it was before.
