Mail attachement issues

I am having trouble attaching files in mail

I just started having this same problem this morning after upgrading, however, I was able to find a temporary solution.
- Open up a new message.
- Click the "clip" as you would attaching a file.
(Of course, you won't see the file being attached as this is the problem in the first place)
- Command-Q to force quit Mail
- Re-open the Mail
- You should be able to see the file you attached to the New Email you have created.
Although this does not provide a permanent fix to this issue, at least you can continue and finish whatever you are doing for now.

Mail attachment issues in full screen apps

This is an interesting issue. So far it only occurs with MS Excel. When Mail is open as a full screen app and I open an xlsx file attached to a mail message the screen shifts back over to the desktop screen as it should, but the Excel window remians locked with the Mail full screen app. At this time, I cannot swipe back over to Mail, it just shifts back over to the desktop screen every time I try. The only resolution that I have found so far is to quite Mail from my dock icon and relaunch. This then moves the Excel window to my desktop screen.
I wonder if this is only an issue with programs that do not suppport full screen apps.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Marc

Have you tried toggling - Command, Control, F
If you do a 5 finger swipe up do you see Apple Mail as it's own desktop? If so when you expand Apple Mail use the green traffic dot in the upper left side instead of the full screen double arrow on the upper right side.

Mail attachment issue with Maverick

I have just downloaded OS Maverick and apart from a few minor issues, I am having a major one with Mail.
When I try to attached a file / document it does not give me the option to select them from Finder. This is a huge problem for me, am I missing something?

Click the paperclip icon in the toolbar of the message window.

Tiger - Mail Attachment Issues -

I am sitting next to a friend, he is running a Macbook with Tiger installed on it. In the Apple mail application he is having problems with attachments.
If you send one of any file to him PDF, DOC, TXT... The file will open just fine.
If you send multiple files of any kind ONLY the first file will open up. The others report;
Error couldnt open file
By that I mean, Send 5 PDF files, only the first of the 5 files attached is viewable the remainder do not work. Error code above.
This has been going on for over a YEAR...
I have not gone into settings yet but I am pretty certain it is an AOL email addy.
Thanks,
Richard Alan

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

Mail attachment drag and drop issue

Been facing serious mail attachment drag-and-drop issue since 10.8 (if not from 10.7) and was disappointed to find the same behaviour still in 10.9.
When I drag and drop a picture file (from Finder for example) into a message window or onto the Mail.app Dock icon, the system's window management somehow gets confused: my next step is to click on the message window in order to start typing. However, the mouse click causes that very window to escape under all other open applications / windows. Further on, I dig under to find the escapee and click again: once more it escapes. This can go on for a few annoying rounds until gets solved in an unexplainable way. This behaviour in not consistent, but has happens in about 8 cases out of 10.
Apart from Mail.app I do not experience drag and drop issues of any kind.
Anyone else suffering from this?

I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
Its annoying.
I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

Mail adapter issue with mail attachment

Hi all,
I have a scenario mail to file and i have a problem.
Is it possible, in a sender adapter mail to use the option keep attachment and mail package at the same time ?
So,is it possible to use the module payloadswapbean and XMLanonymizer in a sender adapter mail in order to suppress a namespace from the attachment in it ?
Is the option mail package useful if i am using payloadswapbean module ?
from what i see, It seems that the XMLanonymizer doesn't work for sender mail adapter with attachment. I've tested the configuration on a sender adapter file and works fine.
Anyone already tested it ?
Thanks,
Jean-Philippe

Hi Stefen,
Thanks for the answers.
The question is, whether the payloadswapbean is useful at all in a sender mail scenario.
I don't understand this one ! Isn't mandatory in sender adapter mail scenario if you want to read your mail attachment ?
Yes. If you configure the payloadswapbean correct, the XMLanonymizer works on the attachment.
It is not easy to set the payloadswapbean in a correct way. IPost your parameters here, when it does not work for you.
Ok. Maybe my configuration is wrong, please tell.
Processing sequence :
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean => 0
localejbs/AF_Modules/XMLAnonymizerBean => 1
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean =>mail
module configuration :
swap.keyName =>Content-Disposition
swap.keyName => Content-Description
swap.keyValue=>MailAttachment-1
swap.keyValue=>attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
anonymizer.acceptNamespaces =>http://namespace ''
anonymizer.quote => ''
I am on PI 7.1 version and when i am looking in the monitoring(sxmb_moni), it doesn't seems working.

Error while opening PDF in mail attachment

Hi All,
In smartform i am sending a mail with attachemnt as PDF file,there is one more option like preview of smartform .
issue is like i am able to see the preview of the same record but when it is sent in mail attachement,and while opening PDF its showing error that file can not be open it is corrupted.
Please help.
Mona Singh.

Dear Sandra
That was my problem: binary data was incorrectly converted (often because of Unicode systems).
I returned
        bin_filesize          = v_len_in
        bin_file              = l_binfile
from the function module CONVERT_OTF, then converted the xstring data (l_binfile) into an internal table (t_objbin) to send to the mail send function with the following function module:
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        buffer        = l_binfile
      IMPORTING
        output_length = v_lines_bin
      TABLES
        binary_tab    = t_objbin.
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards

Mail attachment with UDF in SAP PI 7.1

Hello,
I need to reproduce this solution in PI 7.1
/people/samuel.chandrasekaran2/blog/2008/10/06/xi-mail-adapter-dynamically-building-attachment-and-message-body-content-using-a-simple-udf
It is about adding lines of a message as an attachment to a mail.
The UDF works for all elements except the lines for the attachment itself.
In order to build the content of the attachment (for this particular requirement) they are using a global variable declared and initialized in the global sections.
But the button for the Java Section to use an imported archive is no longer available in PI.....
So how to solve that issue?
I tried to use a graphical variable instead of a global variable but I have no idea how to add the n lines
from the source message as one import object into the UDF via that graphical variable.
Your ideas are very appreciated!
Best Regards
Dirk

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

ICloud lack of preferences and attachment issues

I've been using iCloud mail for a few weeks after leaving Outlook/Hotmail due to problems. It seems like I've traded off one set is issues for another set with iCloud mail.
There appears to be no preferences available at all to set up preferred body typefaces and styles, email signature (ie. setting sections in bold or italics), colours or anything like what I could do through Outlook. Even this forum box has more type settings, smileys and indent settings than iCloud
More annoyingly, any pdfs I attach and send through iCloud mail more often get a renamed to something along the lines of 'ATT000046.pdf'. This creates real issues for me as a freelance designer reliant on jobs being sent to my clients which are precisely named. I cannot work out why some clients receive the correctly named file, and others receive an 'ATT........' one.
Some files also change to .dat files (a Windows file!?) – this often happens when I zip several pdfs together.
It's getting really frustrating having no great functionality and the attachment issues too, I'd say iCloud mail is worse than Outlook.
Can anyone help?

This has happened to me as well and it's making me seriously consider going back to gmail. My pdf attachments are being received as .dat files. Plus, just this morning a pdf that I received came over as a .dat file into my iCloud mailbox. I forwarded the message to my gmail account and it was a perfect pdf that I opened.
I got my Mac about a year ago (which I LOVE) and I decided to go all Apple all the time. But
-The iCloud email thing has so many quirks, like thei .dat file thing.
-The Apple maps aren't as good as the Google Maps app. I was in NYC this weekend with the family and I tried to use both- Google just worked better (it hurts me to say that).
-I know that iCloud for documents is the wave of the future (or so they say), but Dropbox just works so effortlessly for my document storage.
-I know that iWoks is the future, but I can't collaborate with Pages-- my clients all need .doc files and I can't always export to a .doc file. Sometimes Pages won't let me export, other times things like indentations are off. I got picked for the beta test of iWorks in the cloud and it's nice, but limited in functionality
I'm wondering if I should be all Apple devices and go back to gmail/google maps/office. I don't want to do that- I want to be all Apple...not sure what to do because this is driving me crazy. I'm thinking of waiting for iOS7 to come out and see how it works. I know that Apple Maps is being updated too. Not sure.
Sorry for the rant.

Mail Attachment with attachment name = mail subject name

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter and today I am using hard codes attachment names using the MessageTransformBean. I have read the blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution about dynamic filenames but how do I get the eMail subject as a viriable to create the attachment?
Thanks
Juergen

Juergen my weblog was the simplest suggestion to your issue - you can put the mail subject anywhere in
message get it (and remove) in the adapter module
you can also try to get the
Adapter-Specific Message Attributes from the adapter module
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/content.htm
but I'm not sure it the second solution works with adapter modules - but you can do an easy check

Mail attachement as Blue Lego Brick With Questionmark

Hi,
i installed Parallels Desktop and since then my mail attachements only show as a "Blue Lego Brick With a Questionmark" Before that i could see the files (ie pdf or jpgs) directly below ma written text. This happens in the "sent" and "recieved" mails.
Any help?
TIA
Message was edited by: wobinido1

I have a similar problem. But I have no installed parallels. I recently had an issue with mail not opening at all this was due to an error with the new safari and the growl application. I was able to get this fixed, but now I have the same blue lego bricks showing up in my emails, for attachments and in some other emails too that display images. I can download attachments just fine. But these blocks are annoying and messing up other email images.

My requirement is to convert the alv output to an excel and send it to email in background processing.
Am creating the headers through the field cat headings as the headings are dynamic.
And the item data through the output internal table of ALV.
My issue is always the second row's first column is taking spaces in the start because of this the data starts getting truncated.
Am using a tab delimter to seprate 2 fields and at the end of a row am using line breaker cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
the below is how am filling the packing lists.
Fill Packing List For body
lw_packing_list-transf_bin = space.
lw_packing_list-head_start = 1.
lw_packing_list-head_num = 0.
lw_packing_list-body_start = 1.
DESCRIBE TABLE lt_message LINES lw_packing_list-body_num.
lw_packing_list-doc_type = 'RAW'.
APPEND lw_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
clear lw_packing_list.
Fill the fields of the packing_list for creating the attachment:
lw_packing_list-transf_bin = lc_x.
lw_packing_list-head_start = 1.
lw_packing_list-head_num = 1.
lw_packing_list-body_start = 1.
DESCRIBE TABLE t_attach LINES lw_packing_list-body_num.
   lw_packing_list-doc_type = lv_format.
   lw_packing_list-obj_descr = lv_attdesc.
lw_packing_list-doc_size = lw_packing_list-body_num * 255.
APPEND lw_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
Fill the mail recipient list

Imail wont show mail attachment

From time to time imail doesn't show attachments that come with an e-mail. In order to better explain it. I use IMAP mail. When I recieve the mail, I can see the small attachment picture but there is no attachment file with in the mail. In order to make sure, I log into my imap server with a web browser. I open the same e-mail and the attachment is there. Imail wont show or download the mail attachment. Is there any solution to this problem?

Well, I fixed it. Luckily I just have my .Mac IMAP email account with aliases so I just deleted my ~/Library/Mail, ~Library/Mail Downloads and ~/Library/Preferences/Mail Prefs and on the next launch of Mail it grabbed all my mail from the .Mac server. I had to recreate my rules but I have my RSS feeds back once again. I hope the updates to Mail in 10.5.3 address this issue as it has happened on two machines for me now.

Email attachment filenames appear as "mail attachment".doc or "mail attachment."pdf

Hi,
I have Mac OS 10.7.5, I've synchronised my hotmail/outlook address to Mail application.
I have no issues with sending or receiving emails with attachments.
The problem I'm having is that the filename of all attachments appear as "mail attachment.doc" for Word files or as "mail.attachment.pdf" for PDF files.
1) If I log on to my hotmail account through the browser the attachments appear with the correct file name.
2) The attachment file names happen to also appear correctly on my iPhone.
3) I have other mailboxes set up in Mail application and attachment file names appear correct.
It seems to be an issue with Mail application and the hotmail/outlook account.
I would appreciate if anyone can give me some feedback on this issue.
Kind regards,
Doble Korona

Peter
Some things to try - after each step, see if it works...
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OS and Quicktime and iPhoto.
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
4. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

UTL_SMTP Attachment Issue

I have a PL/SQL package which utilizes UTL_SMTP that has been deployed to 2 Dev instances. When the package gets called In one Dev instance the e-mail gets delivered successfully with an attached file and in the other Dev instance the attachment get imbedded in the message body. The recipient is the same in both cases as is the attached file and both instances reside on the same HP-UX box. What would cause the email to be attached correctly in one instance and not in the other?
Here are samples of the email headers for both.

Could you post the code which you are using to send the mail. I need to send mail from a oracle procedure. I posted a thread with subject "sending mail from oracle procedure".
Many thanks in advance.
