"Insert" functions, attachments, photos , etc. on outgoing emails do not activate

I am unable to attach documents, photos, etc. to outgoing emails. When I click on the "insert" icons nothing happens.

Thanks for the clarification.
You used the term right click on it to download instead of right click on it to save the attached file outside of the message which are very different things.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML or I should say can be HTML but certain things must occur in order for HTML to be implemented with a sent message.
Regardless the message font and size chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors, you must select a font and size via the font panel when composing a message or use bold, italics, underline for selected text or changing text color, etc. If you are using a signature that was composed with RTF or HML with a different font, size and/or color than is used in the message body or contains an image or logo, etc. Forwarding a message that was composed in HTML and the same when replying to a received message that was composed in HTML if you have "Use the same message format as the original message" selected for composing preferences at Mail > Preferences > Composing.
Any or all or a combination of any of these will send a message as HTML.
Depending on the Outlook and Windows version used by a recipient, Outlook has had some problems with Mail's RTF. There is no email client that is completely bug free and Outlook has plenty of bugs for such an old/mature email client and MS also makes the arrogant assumption that the majority of people that exchange email are using Outlook or OE and should be if not.
So long story short, using Plain Text for message composition can and does make a difference.

  • How to insert a pdf file in an outgoing email

    Looking for assistance, on how do you insert a pdf file in an outgoing email on iphone5, I have adobe and dropbox I can open a pdf file and send it from their respective apps but when I create a new email or reply or forward I want to be able to go get the pdf file and attach it to the email. Have not been able to find how to do this.
    Regards,
    Frank

    Thanks for responding. For my work I have manuals, certifications or other regulatory docs that I have uploaded either to dropbox or adobe reader apps on my phone because I travel I find more often that I get request for these documents on an email chain and need to add a pdf to it. It seems I have to start a new email from the app the pdf is in as you stated. This defeats the purpose of responding or forwarding. very frustrating and not very professional. Is their an app out there that may help with this situation.

  • HT1277 I would like to remove my photo from all outgoing email on my IMac computer. Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Thank you.

    I would like to remove my photo from all outgoing emails on my IMac. Could someone help? Thanks.

    I am guessing that you are referring to the image that Mail puts next to the headers - this is what is in your Address Book, and is just there for convenience.  Your photo is not sent with any message unless you attach it via a file or otherwise include it in the message contents.

  • Attachments and history of my emails are not seen by Windows users

    attachments and history of my emails are not seen by Windows users

    Just guessing at what you mean, try this:
    In Mail, while composing a message, go to Mail's menu and click:
    Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows-friendly attachments

  • I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

    I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • Why can't I attach documents and photos to my outgoing emails in Windows live hotmail

    Ever since the new version of Windows live hotmail has been downloaded on my computer, the only way I can attach documents and photos to outgoing emails is thru Internet explorer without any add ons and even this was not easy. I used to be able to attach with no problems and now I cannot and I really need to be able to do this. I send alot of emails with attachments. Every time I try to attach a document it gives me an error message. It just says error nothing else. Please help!!!!

    Hi
    Pages saves its files as a small package, not a single file. You will have to compress it first (think it's called Create Archive but can't be sure). You could do File>Export & choose .doc which would save it as a Word document & then attach it to the email (some formatting may be lost).

  • Outgoing emails are not being sent from my email address all of a sudden. It started happening when I changed my gmail password

    After I changed my gmail password my outgoing emails are no longer being sent from my gmail account, but are being sent from my spouse's account so that replies go into her inbox, not mine. 

    rigoran1231,
    You may have a corrupt preference, in order to correct this open Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the preferences for the account. While they may look ok one or more may be corrupt.

  • Outgoing emails-- font (not just "display")

    Other than changing the font display via the Screen/Keyboard option, is there a way to change the actual text's font on outgoing email messages?
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    hello,
    when you send the email, you send to the Blackberry servers an email in simple text (no formatting at all). Then the servers add some formatting (Arial about 10px in navy blue). You can't modify that.

  • E7 outgoing email will not work

    Hi All,
    I have been using my company email on my E7 quite happily until Vodafone (who my account is with) switched off their mail server. Since then I can receive emails but just can't send any.
    I was told to use the smtp settings for hotmail for my out going emails which didn't work. Since then I have tried using windows live, blueyonder, virgin, orange, yahoo, ovi and none of them will work. My email's just sit in the out box until I delete them.
    Does anyone know of any outgoing email settings I can use to get my email working again?
    Thanks a lot

    You'll need to use whatever SMTP server the email provider specifies.  Some of the companies you list have special "rules".  I believe Hotmail uses a proprietary, web-based interface for sending and retrieving mail, and Yahoo provides POP3 and SMTP access only to paying customers.  So you might save these providers for last.  A few suggestions:
    1) Don't trust the Nokia Email wizard.  Outgoing email for my provider (Earthlink) doesn't work by default because the wizard supplies the wrong SMTP server.  Visit the provider's web site and verify the server name yourself.
    2) Also verify that authentication (username and password) is enabled for SMTP.  Check the details with the provider.
    3) If all else fails, discuss the problem with the provider's tech support team.  If you still can't make it work, go back to Vodaphone.  There's a slight chance they could be blocking SMTP access from your phone.
    4) If you're using Nokia Messaging, their real-time email "push" service, that could complicate things...but I doubt it.  My T-Mobile E73 has never supported Messaging, so it's an unknown.
    I hope that helps!

  • Changing how attachments are attached to outgoing email?

    Hello everyone, my apologies in advance if this has already been answered somewhere, but I've been scouring the discussion forums for nearly an hour and don't really have more time to keep going.
    I'm new to Mac, 6 days now. I'm having a bit of a problem: when I create a new email message and want to attach a file to it, the file is being 'previewed' in my email. Maybe not a big deal for some, but one thing I often need to attach is a massive PDF, not in file size but in pixels, 20,000-30,000 in width. Because Mail is trying to preview the attachment in the message, it is taking literally four minutes to do so, during which time I can't do anything else at the computer.
    If I zip the PDF file, then attach the zip file, it shows as a file icon, but that isn't a very good solution - it would mean I need to zip every file I want to send that is previewable, meaning extra steps and more disk space usage.
    Is there a way to attach these files without having to zip them, whereby the file will display on my end as an icon rather than as the actual file? I hope this makes sense. It's driving me crazy. My Mac experience so far has been excellent, but this is bordering on a showstopper for me.
    I've read a ton of threads about email format, etc, and it doesn't matter if I do my emails as Plain or Rich Text, if I'm creating one from scratch or replying, who the recepient is, etc, it is always previewing the PDF. There's got to be a setting somewhere which will allow me to stop seeing the file contents in my email message.
    Thanks to anyone who can help with this issue .

  • Inserting signature in Mail form from outgoing email

    Hi,
    I'm trying to send outbound email from service request in SAP CRM. When I select send mail the mail form is displayed. We have option to attach the document, priority and sensistvity. Along with this we also have option to save signature. Once I save the signature how to insert the signature into mail form so that I can send the signature with the mail form.
    Thanks
    Vinod

    @Nancy O.
    Thanks for your support i appreciate it that you helped me out a many times.
    However i have read all of the topics you posted.
    I know in the mail form i can disable the "sort of Captcha". I wanted to disable it and insert reCaptcha instead.
    I will re-make the form because like you said (and i already figured it out myself) ;
    "b) Don't modify forms until you get a very basic form working on your server."
    And youre right, im taking too much work at once.
    @CowboyInAZ
    Im a hobbyist that learns really really fast.
    Before March 23 i never used CSS, Javascript and XHTML. And never combined them all together with PHP. (never ever created a php based file from scratch)
    The reason why i use other persons code is because i learn faster with examples, and because i dont need to reinvent the wheel if someone already invented it. The only thing i do with it is learn the workings, customise it and at last, rewrite the code when i understand it.
    If you look at my current site: http://www.wientjesvoegwerk.nl/
    You will notice that the site is validated by W3C with no errors and warnings.
    I think it was Nancy O. that gave me the link to the validator. Thats how i discovered the service.
    You need to know that in 1 day (from 63 errors and 12 warnings) i removed all errors. And i didnt knew much about it, and why errors happend while the site looks fine.
    So im just curious how things work and thats why i "steal" codes and adjust them to learn myself.
    I also want a education like you spoke of, but im interested in a different media.
    I want to be abled to create my dream project wich involves new ways for game studios to earn money.
    This is just a simple start, im also taking tutorials in C#, C++.

  • How can I place a photo (*.jpg) into an email directly, not as an attachment?

    I want to sent a photo by placing it directly into the "text" box of an email, rather than attaching it to the email. Can I do that? How?

    Firefox does not do email, that would be another application and you didn't mention what that email application is.

  • URL links in outgoing email sre not clickable

    Hello,
    Before switching to the Classic, with my Torch 9810 I could send myself emails that included links, and when looking at the emails on a computer, the links were clickable.
    Now with my Classic, the URL links appear as text.
    Any of you know how to fix this?
    My OS is 10.3.1.1779
    Thank you in advance.

    One possible reason for differences between messages viewed in Firefox would be the format the sender used. For example, HTML and plain text messages may behave differently. In HTML, the link actually is in the message sent by the sender. In plain text, there are no links, but the desktop version of Outlook finds them and makes them clickable. Perhaps the same is true of the "Premium" version of OWA served to IE. Other browsers have long been second class citizens...
    Maybe there is an add-on that fills in the missing functionality?

  • Outgoing email does not work

    i recently changed my mail setting per my Verizon Email Provide. I can receive mail in but can not send out mail from AppleMail.

    You may have a corrupt email preference. Open Mail - Preferences - Accounts (choose your Verizon account) and re-input all the settings and retest. If this does not work refer to:
