If I want to forward an email with an attachment (data charges?)

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help. I currently have a BlackBerry and use it all the time. I would like to move over to a iPhone as it is far superior at viewing attachements but there is one thing that is stopping me and I would like to know if the below is true or not.
I recieve an email on my blackberry with a 10MB attachment. I see that the attachment is large so i choose not to open the attachment as I already know what the attachment is but i want to forward the email with the attachment to my mate. i am told that if i do not download the attachment and just forward the message on the attachment is not downloaded as the file is already present on my exchange server which is great.
Now this is where I get confused. I have been told that if i do the same thing on an iPhone that the iphone must download the file in all situations to be able to be forwarded on. This obviosuly will cuase issues when abroad and would be very expensive. Is this true? I have been told from various people yes and no but is there anyone out there whos a proper teccy than knows?
Thanks

The problem here is that the server you get the message/attachment from (where it is stored), is not necessarily the same one it get sent through.
So, the two servers would have to know about each other, and have a predefined mechanism (protocol) to transfer the message between each other, without the client having to do anything.
Apple could do this, if they hosted the mailboxes and also the sending servers, but if they have no control over whose email servers you use, there's nothing that Apple can do about it.
In the case of connecting to a Blackberry or Microsoft Exchange service, the creators of those systems have solved it, but only if you use their proprietary client protocols (if you read email from a Microsoft server using POP3 or IMPA4, and send via SMTP, then you still end up downloading the whole thing to the client device, and then uploading the whole thing again when sending).

Let me guess: you're using a Hotmail account.
Look what I've found, it seems to have to do with MS Silverlight. Update that, and all should be good.

Hi,
What ever text you are sending in the email, create a standard text for it using tcode SO10. In the program use the FM READ_TEXT to get the data into internal table which will be of length 132 char. If you want line widht of 255 chars convert using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE as below,
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      line_width_dst              = '255'
    TABLES
      content_in                  = it_data
      content_out                 = it_mess_att
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
      err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
      err_conv_failed             = 3
      OTHERS                      = 4.
Use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send email.
Hope this will help you.

I have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/MailShoot.html
The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

I want to forward a message with the default headers included, but can't seem to set my mail preferences to include the headers when forwarding, just the original message ends up in the forwarded message and not the headers?

How do I delete a block of text on my IPad. For example, when I want to forward an email

How do I delete a block of text on my IPad. For example, when I want to forward an email & want to delete the previous sender's info.

Sending Failure. I can't send, reply or forward an email with attachment or picture.

I have a Galaxy S5. When I try to send, forward or reply to an email with an attachment or picture it gets stuck in my outbox with a final message on my notification page of "sending failure". I can receive any email with pics or attachments. I have removed and re added my email accounts as well as cleared the cache without any luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Try doing this, uninstall your email app then power down & remove battery and SIM card. Next re-power phone and do a regular reset of the phone (not a restart) with SIM installed. This will be listed under settings, backup and restore then tap Reset settings. now reinstall email app and setup your account. This in a normal working phone will clear most email problems along with correct account settings.

Email with excel attachment...strange....

My mother is trying to send me an Excel file that she received in another email (she can't open it-doesn't have Excel). She's tried forwarding the whole email to me, dragging just the wanted file to a new email and also saving the file to her desktop and attaching to a new email. Her "sent" box says it was sent-all times. The emails never arrive. I've checked my webmail folders and nothing. She sent a straight test email with nothing attached and it arrives fine. I'm stumped....

Is your mom also using a Mac? If so, what OS is she using?
Your mom can download the freeware NeoOffice http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
NeoOffice is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.
NeoOffice 2.2.5 will operate on OS 10.3 & higher
NeoOffice 3.0 requires OS 10.4

Issue in sending the email with XL attachment in ECC version

Hi,
I have an issue with sending the email with XL attachment. My program is sending a mail to the receiver with XLS as attachment. Recently we have migrated from 4.6B to ECC version. Same code was worked in 4.6B.But it is not working in ECC version.When i try to open the attachment, i get a Dialog Box with the following message
"The file is not in a recognizable format.
1. if you know the file is from another program whih is incompatible with Microsoft excel,click cancel,then open this file in its original application
2.If you suspect the file is damaged, click help for more information about solving theproblem.
3.if you still want to see what text is contained in the file, click OK.Then click the text import wizard. "
when i click OK, the excel sheet is opening with all required data.
Can anyone kindly tell me why this is happening.
I am also attaching part of the coding related to this requirement.

on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

Scheduling crontab to send an email with an attachement?

(second post, 1st in wrong forum)
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know how to set up a command to send an email with an attachement? From what I've been informed so far, I inputed:
0 22 * * * (cat mailtext; uuencode filename.txt filename.txt) | mail -s 'here is the backup log' [email protected]
#The first filename.txt will also have the file path preceding it.
I done all this and still no email. Do I have to enable smtp or set up the mail server?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

What you're describing doesn't make any use of Automator.
That being said, using command line "mail" does require that the Unix mail system be set up. This site has a utility for doing that.
If you want to use Automator (the subject of this forum), you might try this:
Create a new Automator workflow with these three actions:
Get Specified Finder Items -- put your desired attachment(s) in the list
New Mail Message -- fill in all appropriate fields
Send Outgoing Messages
Once you confirm that the workflow works, save it as an application. Then you can make it repeat with cron like you specified in your posting, but with the Automator task. E.g., if you saved it to the desktop, and with the name AutoSendDailyReport, edit your crontab:
<pre>0 22 * * * ~/Desktop/AutoSendDailyReport.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoSendDailyReport</pre>
Note that in this example, you'll need to be logged in at the time the cron job runs, so that the applications can run. It will automatically launch Mail, if not already running, and send the email.
Alternatively, you can use iCal to schedule the task: set up a repeating event, with the alarm set to open the workflow app created above. Once again, you'll need to be logged in at the time the mail is to be sent.

This is the default behavior when you email enable a document library.
If you want to save the original email as well.
Go to the Document Library Settings
Followed by Incoming email Settings.
On the Incoming email settings page in the Email Message section.
Choose Yes for Save original email? and click
OK.
Now if you send any new email with attachment, you will be able to see both the Attachment & original email in the document librabry. Hope that helps.

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

If I want to forward an email with an attachment (data charges?)
