Mail attachments – how to adjust appearance

Sometimes when I append a .pdf to a message, it displays as an icon. Other times the whole document displays. How do I adjust this so only icons appear on the message I'm composing?

If you right click (or CTRL-click) the document and select 'View as Icon' this will show icons only.
There's no default way to do this using Mail Preferences but you can use terminal.
Open Terminal (Press CMD+Spacebar and type 'Terminal'):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Hit Return
Sorted
If you want to return to the standard way, use this:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool no
Hit Return.
Good Luck - Hope this is what you wanted

  • How to access Mail-Attachments in XI 3.0?

    Hello everyone,
    We have a scenario, where a Mail with attached Files (text, pdf) is sent to the XI. I would like to write a module which accesses the Mail-Attachments, retrieves their content and appends the Base64-encoded content to the payload. I've tried several things, took inspiration from existing Module-Beans, but i never really came to the point that i have the attachment-name and content to do the Encoding.
    Could anyone give me a hint what is a proper way to achieve this?
    Or is there probably a more elegant method to access Mail attachments within XI (3.0)?
    Thank you,
    Magnus

    This is an example for getting the file name of the attachment:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
    To read the attachment, you just use replace getDocument by getAttachment or getAttchmentIterator

    Check the source of the sample module to see how it works.

  • In Elements 11 how do I get the verification code needed to send files as e-mail attachments ?

    In Elements 11 how do I get the verification code to send files as e-mail attachments ?

    I’ve found it usually works best with web mail via Adobe after obtaining verification. I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Give it a try. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
    1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
    [email protected]
    2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
    3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
    4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
    5. Test the system (first use only)  by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next (Mac users should use attachments)
    6. Choose a contact then click  Next
    7. Click Next Step, then click Next - the sender verification dialog will open.
    8. Check you have spelt your email address correctly and hit the Resend E-Mail button.
    9. Go to your inbox (also check spam) and when the Adobe mailer message is received copy (Ctrl+C) the long verification code.
    10. Return to the verification dialog and paste it (Ctrl+V) into the Sender verification field and click OK. Wait for validation confirmation then click OK to continue

  • HT1277 only my hotmail inbox appears in Mail.  How do I get my file folders to come over?

    only my hotmail inbox appears in Mail.  How do I get my file folders to come over?

    It sounds as though you have set Mail up in POP mode. POP only sees and downloads from the server Inbox.
    To see or download any other server folders you need to set it up in IMAP mode.
    Good luck.

  • E mail attachments that are deleted show up in all images or all documents; how can I prevent this form happening?

    e mail attachments that are deleted seem to still show up in the all images or all documents files; how do I keep this from happening?  If an attachment is deleted I don't want to continue to keep a copy anywhere.  Thanks.

    I know this is almost a year later but I have been searching for a solution to the same problem you had. How did you fix this issue? I can see that something pops up on this site right before a transition. Why does that happen and not show in the preview and how do you fix it? Any help is appreciated!

  • How to download MP3 mail attachments to iPhone 4s?

         Newbie here with a question. How do I download MP3 mail attachments to my iPhone 4s? Word documents & Excel charts too for that matter. I work for a songwriter. Would be great help. So far, I can open the attachment fine. Just wondering if I could possibly do actual work on my iPhone instead of having to synch through a PC. Heard somewhere there's no file system on iPhone. Thus, I'm a bit lost. Thank you any & all who may be able to shed some light on this matter or suggest reading materials.
    Sincerely,
    ^^

  • HT4623 Default mail app crashes. I can't open mail attachments. How do I restore the mail app?

    I updated my ipad3 to iOS 7 last month. First thing I noticed is I can't continuously open yahoo mail attachments in the form of PDFs like I used to do. Just recently I installed iOS 7.0.6 in the hope that it will resolve this issue. I also deleted the "attachments.me" app thinking this may solve the problem. But my problem worsened as I discovered that I cannot also open ".doc" or word files. I have tried restoring my ipad last night but an error occurred during installation.
    I can open the .doc or PDF mail attachments from safari though.
    Any suggestions.

    You need to download the Google Notifier and set it as the default email client. To restore the application, try running the applicable combo updater; if that doesn't work, you'll absolutely need the disks or a backup to get it back.

  • Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments

    Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!

    Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
    Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
    and also related:
    http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
    Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
    Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.
