Mail 7.1 large attachment icon in classic layout attachment column

I was running on Mountain Lion till 2 days ago. Over the weekend, I decided to upgrade to Mavericks, which went really smooth. However, after upgrading to Mavericks, when I open Mail.app, I am seeing large attachment icon in the attachment column. My Mail.app is configured for classic layout. When I change to modern view, I don't see any problem, but I don't like working on modern view.
I have taken some snapshots and posted below. As you can see, the attachment icon size actually varies from folder to folder, which is even more odd.
Anyone seeing the similar issue? Any idea how can I fix it?
Thanks!

in summary, here is how to fix it:
Go to Mail --> Preferences --> Fonts & Colors --> Message list font and changed it to any other font, and back to what you'd want it to be. Now notice your paperclip icon is back to normal.

  • OS X Mail "Organize by Conversation" & attachments icon

    I've got what seems like a minor gripe about OS X Lion Mail app's new "Organize by Conversation" view (but it's driving me crazy).
    As far as I can tell, if any email in a conversation (thread) has ever had an attachment, then OS X Lion shows the newest message in the "Organize by Conversation" view as bearing an attachment icon in the message viewer window.
    This strikes me as unhelpful. I have conversations (threads) that go back months. Just because months ago one email in the thread had an attachment, I don't want to be fooled into thinking each new message that arrives also has an attachment.
    Does anybody know if it's possible to turn this "feature" off?
    John

    True, but that misses my point. I very much like "Organize by Conversation" view. What I don't like is a particular interface feature of "O by C' view, namely that the conversation header displays the attachment icon even when an attachment is not a contemporary part of the conversation but merely occurs somewhere in the (possibly remote) history of the conversation.
    For example, one solution would be to have a greyed attachment icon if the conversation contains attachments in earlier messages only, but a black one (or a red one) if the attachment is part of the most recent message.

  • Mail: In 'classic layout' view the top header in mailboxes is grey.

    Hi,
    I am using Mail (version 6.0) in it's classic layout form.
    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8 I've noticed that the top header in my mailboxes is sometimes displayed in a grey font rather than in black, like the ones below it.
    Not that much of a problem in itself, but if I click on the header to highlight it the font remains grey, instead of changing to white against the blue highlighting. Grey against blue renders it almost unreadable; there is no contrast.
    If I click on another folder or mailbox in the left pane, then select a random messages in that, and then go back to where the grey header was, I sometimes find that the font has now changed to black and it behaves as it should when highlighted.
    Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me? Has anyone any idea ho to cure it please?
    Cheers.

    Further to the above, I've also just noticed that Mail is also sometimes adding the 'replied to' symbol, (the curved arrow thing), to message headers, even though I've not actualy replied to the messages.
    Again, opening another folder, randomly clicking on messages and then returning to the problem one again will often remove the erroneous symbol.
    I'm sure this must be a bug, mustn't it?

  • Attachment icon visible in Mail 5.1 but attachment is not visible

    Running a couple of iMac's with OSX Lion and Mail 5.1.
    Quite often we have problems receiving mails with attachments.
    Lately in the list of received emails you do see the attachment icon (paper clip) yet in the message itself there is no attachment visible. Although there should be one. We have checked that the email was indeed sent with attachment and others (not with the same set-up/Mac) do receive these attachments.
    Have found several threads about attachment issues but with earlier OSX and Mail versions.
    The amount of knowledge here is too big ;-)
    Any help is more than welcome.

    Exactly the same problem here. Yesterday installed Lion, since then some attachments show for example in google mail web interface but not in mail (exactly as you describe above). Also Outlook 2010 receipents (windows) don't see the attachments that I send anymore....
    I just switched to Microsoft Entourage. Sad story, had been using mail for a long time it it worked pretty well, but there is no way I can live with these issues. If anybody comes up with a solution please let me know.

  • JES5: outlook shows 'fake' attachment icon for mails originating from uwc/e

    Hi,
    Strange thing:
    We are using JES5 with both UWC and outlook connector.
    Mails sent from UWC in Internet explorer (dutch version) display a 'file attachment' icon in outlook 2003 (in the header pane). In the message pane, there's no file attachment.
    Mails sent from UWC in Mozilla (dutch version) display fine in outlook 2003 (that is: no sign of a file attachment icon).
    Upon further inspection, I noticed that Internet explorer generates this type of mime header (notice the multipart/mixed)

    This (cosmetic) problem is unrelated to choosing 'pure text' or 'html text' in the UWC message creation window.
    I don't know where to look for solving this bug:
    - is it outlook that is unable to correctly parse the 'multipart/mixed' type of mail ?
    - or should internet explorer generate multipart/alternative style mails ?
    any ideas ?

    Tom.

    That's not someting I've seen. I suggest a support case.

  • Attachment icons not showing inline on apple mail messages

    It's been some days since I first experienced this.
    On selected messages containing PDF, or JPG attachments, the message does not show the attachment icon inline. It just shows the attachment icon in the header, under the To: field.
    It wouldn't be big deal, as I can access the attachment by clicking the play button in the header, and then double click in that attachment icon.
    Thing is, if I forward the message, that attachment is not appearing in the message I am forwarding. And this is a little annoying.
    Suggestions anyone?
    Thanks!

    Go to settings > general > restrictions and make sure "iTunes" and "installing apps" are set to ON

  • Mail stuck sending large file

    I have just sent an email in Mail with a large attachment.  For 2 days my sent icon has been working and no other mails can get sent.  It is not giving me the option to stop sending, or reduce size.  It is just stuck trying to send it.  Help!

    Janet,
    Is the message with too large attachment still trying to send?  If so, again quit Mail, but this time, in the Finder, open Home, and while holding down the Option key click on Go in the menubar.  This will allow you to click on Library, then the Mail folder.  Then look in the Mailboxes folder for the Outbox.mbox folder.  Remove it by draggin it to the Desktop (later to the trash, likely).  Now relaunch Mail again.  When you next try to send a normal sized message, Mail will recreate the Outbox.mbox folder.  (Not booted into Lion at the moment, so unable to confirm all of this, but is how it could be done in all other versions of Mail.
    Are you trying to put the large file somewhere as a backup, or are you, as I first thought, trying to send it to someone?  File on iCloud are not meant for sharing with others, unlike iDisk.
    More info, please.

  • Mail.app shows large emails; no attachments

    So I decided to backup my Gmail account by starting up Mail for the first time and syncing. I would like to archive all my emails and attachments so I can delete my Gmail account.
    After about an hour when it was all done syncing up I noticed that some large emails (8-30mb) had no attachment icon or any files visible at all. I know for a fact that those emails indeed should have files because my Gmail account displays them without issue. The text in the emails is unaffected.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The conversation view is set to on, and I believe that it's always been set that way since I got a Gmail account back in 2006. So are you saying that when I view my Gmail account from within Mail.app the large messages without attachments are just part of the conversation and that the attachments are only present in the original message? If that's the case, does that mean that the message in Mail.app is not actually the size it says and is only referring to the first message's size? That doesn't quite add up because my Gmail (web) says that my account has used up 2.6gb of space while Mail.app has accumulated 14.69gb after syncing! However when I selected 'Archive Mailbox' in Mail.app the folder it created was 4.31gb. Something isn't adding up!

    Hello
    You would not be able to add attachments from Safari on your iPad. You would need to setup your Yahoo mail in Mail on your iPad and then you can add your Photos and videos within your Photos app.

  • Why do the attachments I'm trying to send open in the body of my email rather than as an attachment icon?

    I'm having trouble with attachments. When I select a document to attach, in either Word (doc) or pdf, sometimes the whole file opens in the body of the document, instead of just appearing as an attachment icon.  I can't figure out why this only happens sometimes...seems to happen more with documents I've scanned in and saved as either Word or PDF files - what might I be doing wrong?

    There is nothing wrong. I never understood why Apple Mail shows attachments randomly as icon or inline documents or a mix of them.
    If you ctrl+click the PDF or Word document you should be able to choose from the menu, show as icon.
    If you want to permanently show the attachments as icons, close Apple Mail, open Terminal and issue the following command
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes

    My iTunes library is too large for my iPod classic--can I create a separate library so that I can split the current library and sync the distinct libraries onto separate iPods?

    - If the Gmail accounts are IMAP one then if the library is erased and then you use the account old email will be redownload
    - Easing the library on the MacBook does not effect what is on the iMac. On the other hand if you deleted the messages in the Mail app on the MacBook then they will deleted from all devices.

  • Attachment icon is visible even no attachments

    Hi all,
    I'm new to javaMail. I just tried some examples. My problem is if I send a message using java mail to yahoo account, the attachment icon is always visible even though there's no attachments for the mail.
    Is there any way to solve this?
    thanks and regards

    Hi bshannon,
    Thanks a lot for ur reply
    Yes. I used multypart always. The code I used is attached below.
    MultiPart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
    String messageText = "message here";
    MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
    mbp.setText(messageText);
    multipart.addBodyPart(mbp);
    Do you mean that that attachment icon is always visible if multiPart is used? If so, how can I set message text without using MultiPart?
    Thanks and regards.

    1. one option is to retrive the source code of the requried program,
       into internal table using the syntax READ REPORT (just see f1 help on it)
    READ REPORT prog INTO itab [MAXIMUM WIDTH INTO wid].
    2. Then we can loop / search the internal table for the required term.
