Images in attachments

When I receive catalogs and info in email attachments there aren't any pictures of merchandise. All there is is small icon with a question mark in it.

check your preferences: Mail > Preferences > Viewing.
is "Display remote images in HTML messages" selected?
when you get one of these messages w/ unloaded images, does clicking on the 'Load images' button have any effect?
do you use proxys as part of your internet connection? these could be blocking the images...
post back w/ any add'l info - cheers

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

  • How to save inline images and attachments separatley?

    Hi,
    I want to save all inline images into a certain directory and all attachments into another directory.
    I use the following code to do this:
      Multipart multipart = (Multipart) message.getContent();
            for (int x = 0; x < multipart.getCount(); x++) {
                BodyPart bodyPart = multipart.getBodyPart(x);
                String disposition = bodyPart.getDisposition();
                if(disposition != null){
                     log.debug("Disposition: " + disposition);
                     if (disposition.equals(BodyPart.ATTACHMENT)) {
                          log.debug("Mail has attachment: ");
                         DataHandler handler = bodyPart.getDataHandler();
                         log.debug("FILENAME: " + handler.getName());                    
                         saveAttachment(session, bodyPart, emailData);
                     else if(disposition.equals(BodyPart.INLINE)){
                          log.debug("Mail has inline attachment: ");
                         DataHandler handler = bodyPart.getDataHandler();
                         log.debug("Inline FILENAME: " + handler.getName());
                         saveInlineAttachment(session, bodyPart, emailData);
                else {
                     log.debug(bodyPart.getContent());
            }This approach works when the email has inline images only or attachments only.
    It does not work when the email has both inline images and attachments. (Only the attachments are saved).
    Come someone please help me correct my solution so that it can process an email that has both inline images and attachments and save them in different directories.
    Thank you

    Thanks bshannon.
    It took me a while to understand what you meant but I think I finally got it.
    I modified the getText method in order to save the embedded images:
    private Image getImages(Part p, EmailData emailData, String ext) throws MessagingException, IOException {
             if (p.isMimeType("image/*")) {
                InputStream is = p.getInputStream();         
                BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(is);
                String fileName = "attachments/inline/body " + inlineImageNumber++ + "." + ext;
                File imageFile = new File(fileName);
                ImageIO.write(im,ext,imageFile);
                is.close();
                emailData.getInlineAttachments().add(fileName);
                return null;
            if (p.isMimeType("multipart/related")) {
                Multipart mp = (Multipart)p.getContent();
                Image image = null;
                for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
                    Part bp = mp.getBodyPart(i);
                    if (bp.isMimeType("image/jpeg")) {
                        if (image == null){
                            image = getImages(bp, emailData, "jpg");
                        continue;
                    else if (bp.isMimeType("image/gif")) {
                        if (image == null){
                            image = getImages(bp, emailData, "gif");
                        continue;
                    else if (bp.isMimeType("image/bmp")) {
                        if (image == null){
                            image = getImages(bp, emailData, "bmp");
                        continue;
                    else if (bp.isMimeType("image/png")) {
                        if (image == null){
                            image = getImages(bp, emailData, "png");
                        continue;
                return image;
            else if (p.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
                Multipart mp = (Multipart)p.getContent();
                for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
                    Image image = getImages(mp.getBodyPart(i), emailData, "");

  • No Longer Able To Resize Images (PDF Attachments)

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am now unable to resize my PDF attachments once they are within an email.
    Maybe I'm missing something, but in the older version of Mail / Leopard I was able to easily resize my attached PDF's on the fly by simply adjusting their size from a drop-down menu in the lower-right corner of the email window by selecting: Image Size: "Small" "Medium" "Large" or "Actual Size."
    To the best of my knowledge, this window no longer exists for PDF's, although it is still available for attached JPEG resizing.
    I am deeply invested into using and resizing PDF's in my workflow and would like to regain this ability.
    Any suggestions or solutions for this dilemma would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Please check this further -- make sure you open the PDF with a PDF reader in a copy either sent to yourself or in the Sent mailbox. Do not base the resolution on what you see if it is a one page PDF, and Mail is displaying it in the message with View in Place. The View in Place is not the full story.

  • Iphone/hotmail/missing images,pictures,attachments/how to recover and fix using iphone

    Hello, few days ago i transfered some pictures from my iphone to my email. Every thing transfered smoothly i double checked b4 sending more in my outlook on phone n safari email as well. Every thing was fine. Couple days later i checked my email every thing was eh okay i went to open a folder i had pics in it opened up they where in the folder until it disappered. So i went in safari opened it up in that folder the file is there with details but on attachment icon or image where did my pictures go in this file n why wont they show ? The other pics are fine just a few that i placed in this file seemed to have been effected ? Any ideas or answers in to recovering my pictures ? Thanks  

    Stop rambling and try making some logical sense.
    Pictures are not transferred from the device to email.
    Did you send the pictures to yourself?
    What does Safari have to do with any of thise?

  • Image attachments sent from Cameraroll are displayed inline/embedded - why?

    Dear community!
    I often send pictures from the camera-roll by email to several email-addresses.
    I would like the recipient to recieve the email with the images as attachments, but now, they are displayed as "inline" / "embedded" images in the mail body, instead of file attachments. Some of my recievers are using a CMS system to handle inbound email, and in these cases, when the images are embedded, they will not recieve the attachments correctly in their system.
    Is there any settings to toggle this ?
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iOS Mail app displays all image attachments as inline or viewed in place, which is not the same as embedded. Photos are sent as true attachments to the email.
    Depending on the recipient's email client, a photo attached to an email will appear inline or viewed in place (as with the Mail app on a Mac or with the iOS Mail app), or as an attached file only which must be opened separately to be viewed, which the sending email client has no control over.
    When I receive a photo attachment sent by Outlook that appears as an attached file only with the sent email in Outlook, the photo appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the email with the Mail app on  my Mac and with the iOS Mail app with my iPhone and iPad, which Outlook has no control over.
    You cannot change how an attached photo or image appears in the message body with the iOS Mail app, and an attached photo or image that appears inline or viewed in place is not the same as embedded. The iOS Mail app does not support composing in HTML, which is required to embed an image.

  • How can I prevent attachments appearing as images below my e-mail when sending?

    When I send images as attachments, they appear in full at the end of the message - on my screen and the recipient's. This does not normally happen when people send attached images to me. I cannot find a setting to prevent this, and I am not sending via Gmail, so the advice on your help site is not relevant in this case.

    Sounds like you are Inserting the image instead of attaching.
    There is an option that you can turn on to see actual attachments in the body but it is a local setting and would only affect your mail and all of them.
    It is under the View menu - Display Attachments Inline

  • How do I stop lion mail embedding image attachments

    I have tried everything I know to get around this but I can't seem to just send images as attachments.
    My clients are now getting really fed up with it and it is probably loosing me business.
    I write an email I click the attach Icon - it embeds the image in the email.
    EVERY client is complaining they can't get the picture out the email and that's everyone from Blackberry users to Outlook users.
    NEVER had the problem before switching to LION now I can't stop it.
    Tried converting to plain text.
    Tried windows friendly.
    Tried add to end of message.
    Tried showing attachment as icon instead.
    Only thing that works is Zipping it up - but some 'secretaries' dont know what to do with that, and they can't install additional software on the works computer...blah, blah.... just more hassle.
    This is ridiculas! is there a solution before I go out an by a PC to send emails!
    Thanks.

    Try the Terminal command on this blog....

  • How to embed image in html when using JTextPane, HTMLEditorKit, JavaMail

    I am developing a specialized e-mail client that has to be able to send e-mail messages (in html format with images and attachments) that can be read by standard e-mail clients, and receive similar messages from standard e-mail clients.
    I have everything working except for embedding images.
    Images are to appear in the document mixed in with the text, but that's not what I mean by "embed". By "embed" I mean that the image itself is encoded within the html.
    Here's a bit of code to set the context.
    JTextPane bodyPane = new JTextPane();
    bodyPane.setEditorKit(htmlEditorKit);
    bodyPane.setTransferHandler(new DropHandler());
    bodyPane.setDocument(new HTMLDocument());
    In the DropHandler I have the following:
    HTMLDocument htmlDoc = (HTMLDocument) bodyPane.getDocument();
    HTMLEditorKit htmlKit = (HTMLEditorKit) bodyPane.getEditorKit();
    int caretPos = bodyPane.getCaretPosition();
    At this point get "filename", the full path to an image file that has been dropped onto bodyPane.
    String htmlString = "<img src=\"file:///" + filename.replace("\\","/") + "\">";
    htmlKit.insertHTML(htmlDoc, caretPos, htmlString, 0, 0, HTML.Tag.IMG);
    This works just fine. The image is displayed in the document at the point of insertion.
    However, the image itself is an external file. I need to send an e-mail with this image and could send the image file as an attachment, but I obviously can't assume that the recipient of the email is going to save the attachment into the proper location.
    What is the best way to do this?
    There is a technique for embedding the actual image in the html, using this syntax:
    String htmlString = "<a href=\"data:image/png;base64,---mimed png image here--\" alt=\"Red dot\"></a>";
    I can't get this to work in JTextPane, so perhaps it's not supported. Also, there may be limitations on the size of an image. And apparently Internet Explorer doesn't support this.
    From what I read, using a "content identifier", that is, "cid:" and adding the image as another part of the e-mail message is probably the thing to do. I haven't taken the time to explore this yet.
    Does JTextPane support cid? Is that a nonsense question? I suspect what I need to do when the message is being composed is use absolute paths to local files with the images, and then when assembling the e-mail, attach the files and rewrite the html to build in the cid linkage. Similarly, when reading a message with cid's, the thing to do is save the body parts as files and rewrite the cid to point to the actual file.
    I have seen others ask similar questions, one as recently as last December, and the reply was to refer to a Sun tutorial. But that tutorial doesn't address the full problem of 1) inserting an image into a document (instead of attaching an image to a component) and 2) sending it as an e-mail message.
    I have yet to see an example that shows the complete package.
    Am I right that the data option I mentioned is not going to work?
    Am I right that cid is the best approach, and do I understand how to use it?
    Is there something else?
    Thanks
    John

    Hi Rocky,
    Are you using the DC?
    if yes then you need to put the image inside the component folder. after that close the application
    & reopen. You will get the image.
    In case this does not work then try refreshing the portal through server side. Once the cache is cleared, it will be up to view.
    Also check the Activity list you have created. It should be added to the dtr properly or else it wont be reflected once reimported the configurations.

  • Attached images too small

    Lately I have been receiving images as attachments coming through as only around 30-50 kb. I need the full sized images, but people tell me they have sent them as large images. Is there some way my mail program could be downsizing them on receipt, or are the senders doing something wrong? It's happened several times.

    no, your email program is quite powerless to reduce the size of incoming images. whatever happens is done on the sender end.

  • Mail attachments to Windows machines?

    I am trying to send two images as attachments to a user on a Windows machine.  The attachments are appearing in-line in the body of the email and do not show as attachments on Windows.
    I am attaching the 2 images by clicking the paper clip on the new mail message and browsing to the image location to select them.  I am selecting both images and they appear in-line in my outgoing message and as attachments.  I have checked the 'Send Windows Friendly' box.  The Windows recipient can only see the in-line images.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Was having the same issue and found this on another forum and it worked like a charm!

  • Message attachments not restoring on new device

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5, and everything was updated and restored as expected, except for any photos or attachments in my text messages/iMessages that aren't photos saved in my albums. I've tried backing up my iPhone 5 multiple times to try restoring to the iPhone 6, but I get the same results.
    Every other upgrade I've done, the message attachments transfer without a problem.

    I had checked that setting before, and it was set to "Forever". Anyway, the problem was occurring on text messaged images that I had received the same day I had backed up and restored, so I don't think it's quite related to that setting.
    For now, I've moved on and I can do without retrieving all the messaged images and attachments I've received. Simply for the fact that I've already accumulated more and I want to actually use my phone and not waste more hours time troubleshooting. But, this topic can should stay active if it can help anyone else experiencing this problem.

  • Mail attachments not available when sent

    Attaching files in Mail, either by drag and drop, or using the "Attach" button on the "New Message" window, seems to work on the iMac, but when the files are sent and opened in Outlook Express on Windows XP, or online (Gmail) with a browser, only a thumbnail shows up. A reply for that message, coming from a Windows machine, contains the attachment as would have been expected. This problem occurs on two iMacs using the same operating system. Both are set to send emails as Windows-friendly attachments, and both have been updated to the latest version. Using thunderbird causes no such problems. Anyone else having the problem?

    It's the way Mac Mail is designed, it embeds images and attachments rather then actually attaching them.
    What you can do however is have a look at Attachment Tamer, it changes the default behaviour of mail to attach rather then embed which i think is what you're looking for.

  • Sending a google image in body of my e-mail.

    I want to send a photo from google images in an e-mail from my Apple to a receiver with Windows.
    I recently got an Apple MacBook Pro after using Windows. I was able to copy and paste an image and put it into the body of the e-mail when I had the PC. Now with the Apple I am having problems using the same method. I was told to try to download the image and send it as an attachment. I did this and it worked, but the receiver of the e-mail needed to download it as a file attachment. Is there any way I can avoid this. I want the image and my message to appear without the reader needing to download an attached file. Thanks

    All images are attachments; the only difference is whether or not the image is rendered in the body of the email. If your recipients are using Outlook, that program converts Rich Text emails to HTML, embedding the image in it, which can't be separated. If you sent Plain Text emails in Mail, the recipient can download the file to save it if they like, though it may not be rendered in the body of the message using Outlook or other email clients.
    Those are the only two choice anyone has when sending attachments, so if your recipient is a Windows user, they need to decide whether they want to stick with Outlook and deal with it's quirks, or switch to a better email client, such as Thunderbird for Windows.

  • Mail converts jpg/gif images to tiff

    I have a friend who has an ibook running panther. When she tries to forward an email message that contains jpg or gif attachments, Mail converts them to tiff, which causes problems for her windows bound friends, and also increases the message size by a factor of 10. Animated gif attachments converted to tif are useless.
    Is there any way for her to stop Mail from converting these attachments to tif? Thanks.

    Is there any way for her to stop Mail from converting these attachments to tif?
    Not with Jaguar or Panther Mail.
    This is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition and a jpg or gif being embedded in the message body which are not true attachments.
    Jaguar and Panther Mail render HTML received but do not support composing in HTML which includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML. Jaguar/Panther Mail supports RTF and Plain Text only so when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML with embedded images, the Mail.app converts the embedded images to attachments and uses RTF.
    Although Tiger Mail does not support complex HTML composition within the body of a message, RTF in Tiger Mail is HTML. Tiger Mail also supports forwarding a received message that was composed in HTML. With Safari under Tiger, you can select Mail Contents of This Page which will copy the selected web page and paste the contents in a new mail message and the contents of the copied web page will be sent in it's entirety.
