Issue with removing attachments in mail

Since my update to Yosemite i have been experiencing a problem when removing attachments from email messages. At random a few seconds after removing the attachment the rest of the message becomes unreadable - just a bunch of random symbols and letters. This is also affecting older emails that have had the attachments removed. This happens randomly and i cant identify any one thing or file format that maybe the cause - any help would be appreciated.

Similar problem, and this seems to be common among users of this forum.
The "Remove Attachments" command does not work with sent files. This is true whether I drag a photo to the message, or use the paper-clip attachment button.
I can remove attachments from received messages. Just not sent ones.
This is a bug, methinks.

Why does "remove attachments" in Mail now remove entire e-mail?

This is just one of numerous problems with Lion after installing it on MacBook Pro. Every time I choose "remove attachments" in Mail, it deletes the entire e-mail and I can't bring it back. Additionally:
1.     I-Cal entries take forever (delayed entry) and assume I have an all-day event so I now have to enter the event and then open and edit it - additional steps.
2.     Airport (Wi-Fi) now shuts off without warning and cannot, under any circumstances, be restarted from any of the several screens and buttons that supposedly offer that option. Therefore, when I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet and then back, I have to do a restart.
3.     The Address Book now has a stylistic but non-functional interface that requires several additional steps to look at anything and there is no longer an option in Mail to "Open in Address Book" without first opening the v-card, once again complicating my life.
4.     The removal of arows on scroll bars means that I can no longer gradually look at a large file line by line but, rather, have to use the trackpad (which is also jumpy) try to focus in on the area I want by trila and error. I hate the trackpad for these reasons and now that I have lost the arrows, I have essentially the same problem with the mouse - very cumbersome for anyone doing production type work, rather than just playing.
5.     My Carbonite no longer works and I see there are compatibility issues with all kinds of other software. Worse some of my favorite old programs (e.g. Fetch) no longer work in Lion.
6.     The conversation function in Mail now groups things I don't want grouped (e.g., totally unconnected e-mails with the same words in the subject). I had to turn that off for this reason.
Overall, Lion is a huge disappointment. It's all bells and whistles with actual losses in functionality for basic work - style over substance. This is the same thing I've seen happen with Microsoft Excel as basic issues that needed addressing have been ignored while all sorts of pretty stuff that is pretty much useless has been added.
Even more frustrating is the message I got from Apple Support, which was to re-nstall Lion. That took 6 hours and resulted in not one correction of any of these issues. What has Apple done? This OS was not ready for primetime.

The "feature" I experience is that the message disappears, just as shown in Herbert's video (good work), and that it comes back after a quick mailbox switch. It has nothing to do with message sorting or anything. All my Mail settings are the same as in Mail 4.x, and everything worked fine there. Must be a bug in Mail 5. (Yes, I have reported it.)
The "explanation" that Mail creates a copy without the attachment, instead of keeping the old message without the attachment, doesn't really solve the problem. (Sorry for my extensive use of smileys, it's not my style but sometimes convenient.) The copy should come up without the mailbox switch either way.
Edit: spelling.

Remove attachments in Mail

"Remove attachments" in Mail (Lion) is disabled and I cant remove the files from the emails I have sent. it worked fine before I switched to Lion and kept my Mail folder in Libary small. Anybody else having this problem?

Just tried it out a little bit more: The problem is related only to mails sent from Mail.app 5.0 in Lion. Mails sent through the mobile me web interface for example behave normally after being synced back to Mail.app. Attachments can be removed from those mails within Mail.app.
Another thing I noticed: The mails that do have the problem do not show the paper-clip symbol in the list of mails on the left side. The paper-clip should appear next to the addressee's name. The mail preview on the right, however, correctly shows that the mail has an attachment and it can be opnened by clicking. I also created a smart mailbox to show only mails that do have an attachment and are in the sent folder: Only the mails sent before installing lion are listed (attachements can be removed) – all lately sent mails are nout found: Obviously something makes Mail.app "forget" that there is an attachment when sending mails in Lion, thus graying out the command to remove the attachment from the specific mail.
Regarding file types of the unremovable attachments there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I have the problem with both word documents and PDF files. The number of attachments neither seems to make a difference.
Temporary solution: Do not send mails with attachments you want to potentially remove later on from within Mail.app in Lion at the moment. Instead, use an iOS device or your mail provider's web interface for sending those mails. Apple, please fix it!

Remove attachments in Mail fails

Since I first installed Yosemite, I am no longer able to remove attachments in Mail. I use a POP account to download my email from a Microsoft Exchange Server and store the mail with attachment(s) on my iMac. The email plus attachments(s) are now physically in a folder - not the Inbox - on the hard disk of my iMac. They are no longer on the server. I drag (or save) the attachment (no problem) to the desktop or an OS X folder. But now when I try "Remove Attachments" within Mail to discard the attachment, leaving only the email text, the menu choice Messages->Remove Attachments is grey not black and thus unavailable. What is going on? Why does this no longer work? I also have tried dragging the file to one of my iCloud email folder - not the Inbox - but that does not work either. This used to work under Mavericks but no longer. But it should be there because the menu choice still exists. I get this behavior on my iMac at work and also on my iMac at home. Both iMacs are running OS X 10.10.1.
Many thanks to anyone who can help solve this problem.

Having issues with sending attachments via iMail to PC users

Having issues with sending attachments via iMail to PC users. Either they do not see all the attachments or the attachment comes across blank. Is there any suggested ways to resolve this?

You can also use Dropbox. 2GB free. Put files in the Public folder and you can send them links of the files instead.
You can use my referral link http://db.tt/MXNpy62 to create an account.

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.

Issues with Japanese encoding using Mail

Since recently (I would say since I updated to 10.6), I have an issue with Japanese-encoded (ISO 2022-JP) mails on my English MacOS.
I have no problem to read, edit and write answers to any mails.
However with some ISO JP-2022-JP encoded messages (sent with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812) btw) I have the following misbehaviour:
- if I send the message and let the encoding to "automatic", Mail sends the mail in UTF-8, which I do not want since most of Japanese computer do not understand UTF-8 by default (and the receiver gets panicked: "I can not read your mail T_T !")
- if I set the encoding to "ISO JP-2022-JP", I can not send nor save the message (see [1] at the end of the post). One should note that the error message when saving is really misleading (and yes my hard-drive has a lot of space left) and it should be fixed by Apple.
- if I dig a bit deeper, I can in effect find some characters in the original message which prevent Mail to send my mail. It however does not make any sense since:
- those char were in the original message properly encoded in ISO JP-2022-JP
- those char are always very common ones
The only solution I have found so far is to delete the original message in my mail, which is very frustrating...
A sample of such mail can be found at (I removed personal info. and the mail is about a drinking party):
- http://files.me.com/trouve.antoine/73w3w9
Help would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.

[1] I get the following error messages:
-> try to save:
*This message can’t be saved to the Drafts mailbox.*
The message contains one or more attachments that
are too large to be saved in the Drafts mailbox. Try
deleting some attachments.
->try to send
*Invalid Text Encoding*
Some characters in your message could not be
converted to the “Japanese (ISO 2022-JP)” text
encoding. Choose a different encoding from the
“Text Encoding” menu.

You can find out about the different versions here, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_2022
Thank you. I feel a bit stupid for not having looked in Wikipedia at first...
I sometime wonder how could such basic problem like charset not being solved after more than 40 years of computer science...
Here is a note that addresses that problem, but I don't think it works with 10.6. Might be worth a > try:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121808&tstart=60
Thank for the link.
It seems to still work: new japanese mails are now sent in "ISO 2022-JP-2".
However, for messages with the header explicitly specifying "ISO 2022-JP" (which should be "ISO 2022-JP-2" on my mac) it has no influence.
The only ways I see to solve this issue would be:
i) to force "ISO 2022-JP-2" for all mails (a bit too extreme)
ii) to force the use of "ISO 2022-JP-2" instead of "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not think such precise configuration is possible
This mess appears to be due to Thunderbird which seems to mix "ISO 2022-JP-2" and "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not have any working Thunderbird to test now...

Removing attachments in Mail

When I select the command "remove attachments" I end up with a message that has the initial attachment removed, but with a new attachment, small in size, named Mail Attachment.txt that says that the iniital attachment was removed (used to be just text in the previous Mail versions).
As I select a command that promises to get rid of attachments, I exchange it with a new one. Very irritating. How can I have it really removed all the way, and rather have the remove confirmation in text again?

Similar problem, and this seems to be common among users of this forum.
The "Remove Attachments" command does not work with sent files. This is true whether I drag a photo to the message, or use the paper-clip attachment button.
I can remove attachments from received messages. Just not sent ones.

Why can't I remove attachments from mail in Apple Mail 5

I'm sure I used to be able to do this in SL?
I can do it on some messages, but not all, and not quite sure of a rhyme or reason (I've noted others think it doesn't work on Sent mail, but SOME of my sent messages let me delete attachments??)
Has there been a change?
Will there be a fix?

I have now created a smart mailbox as described above (good idea), and although I have some 50 messages in my Sent box, all with attachments (waiting to be removed so I can store the messages in the proper mailboxes), the smart mailbox is empty. So, Mail doesn't recognise these messages as containing attachments.
This led me to think that maybe Mail has been redesigned to work the way you would expect it to, at last; to contain a link to attachments instead of including them in all their bits and bytes. That would mean that the messages in my Sent box - with attachments - could be stored in local (or server-side) mailboxes without taking up extensive space.
But then I checked the size of my Sent Messages folder inside the Mail Folder in Finder, and - whoops - it's 50+ MB. So the sent messages do contain attachments all right. And Mail doesn't recognise these, since a) the smart mailbox trick says that the messages are free from attachments, and b) the Remove Attachments menu option is disabled.
I will have to wait for the next Mail update, and my Sent box will grow accordingly ...

Gmail App Issue with picture embed in mail body

Hi,
I am an iphone 5 user and have installed the Gmail app from google inc. . But there seems to be an issue with sending emails.
If a new email is composed with a picture copied from the camera roll or other app in phone and pasted onto the email body in the gmail app,
and sent out, the email body gets stripped off the embedded picture.
The sent email in the 'Sent' folder of Gmail app does not display the embedded picture. Is this a known issue with the Gmail app?
Is there any resolution?

Hi.,
First you have to store image in MIME Repository. , then use HTM type to send mail .,
check these : [Send Picture in body of Email|Send an picture to body of an email;
and [Send HTML mail with image|Re: Send HTML mail with image;
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

Selectively removing attachments in mail to send

If I am sending a bunch of files as attachments, and then decide I want to remove just 1 of them before I send the e-mail, how do I do that? Clicking on Remove Attachments removes them all, and selecting one and dragging it to the trash does nothing.
Thanks,
Richard

Place the cursor after or before the one you want to remove, and either use the backward delete key or forward delete key to remove just that one.

Issue with Attachment download from Mail?

I am having an issue with an attachment. I opened the attachment from an email account on my iPad2 and the screen has just gone black. Mail will not let me out of trying to view the attachment. I tap on the screen and nothing happens. It has frozen my mail accounts. Any one have an idea how to cancel the attachment if the mail is not responding?

Do a hard reset: Press and hold on the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time. Continue to hold even after you see the "Slide to Power off" screen. Hold until the Apple logo comes up.
