Mail - attachments in email look like photos rather than icons or files

when i put an insert (pdf file or word doc) the attachment is showing like an embedded photo instead of icons or attachments.  How can i fix this to make attachments as attachments instead of whats occuring.

Not really, apart from trying a different mail client to see if it makes any difference.
There are instructions for Thunderbird here Thunderbird setup for BT Yahoo e-mail

  • What do plain text emails look like in Outlook by default?

    I've been using rich text in my signature, so that all mails end up going rich text. I know that how it looks on the other end depends on the fonts they have, but I was wondering what plain text emails look like by default in Outlook. I don't remember because, if I recall correctly, one of the things I had changed when I used to use that beast was setting the font to a fixed width like courier for plain text. Thanks for any info. I'm just curious whether my plain text messages will look strange to my clients.

  • "Attach to Email" option launches outlook rather than default mail client

    The "Attach to Email" option luanches outlook rather than Seamonkey, which is set to be the default mail client.  Any ideas regrding fixing this would be most appreciated.  This is Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO v. 9.0.0 running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium 4.0 GB machine.
    Thanks,

    Not sure but this might be a Windows Control Panel Issue.

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending emails in Courier New (rather than the standard Arial).  They appear in Arial when I compose them, but turn to Courier new in the sent folder and when displayed to the recipient.  I use Yahoo Mobile Mail.  Help!

    I'm not sure if it's a Yahoo Mobile mail or an iphone issue... have asked the Yahoo forum but no replies yet...  Any help appreciated!

  • I recently upgraded iPhone4S to iOS7. Now photos on my phone look like photo negatives; all colors are a ghostly contrast. The same is true for icons of downloaded apps. What can I do?

  • Disappearing identities, emails look like page source

    Please help!!! My kid's school, Kalani High School, has a virus or bug for over a month (still running rampant). Evidently emails get all messed up and need to be re-entered, etc. I thought that was odd since they all run on Macs, and Macs don't get viruses right?
    Well, just a few days ago, I got it. Each time I open Netscape Explorer, I have to register, and on command-2 to open up my email accounts, I have to enter my incoming, outgoing servers as well as each address I use. My address book is intact.
    Also, just prior to this happening, some of the emails looked like gibberish, and page sources. And only one looked okay. These have all disappeared since it seems everything disappears after I exit Netscape.
    Any ideas or help?
    Mahalo.

    An alternative is to use Pages in iWork'08 ($79)... "Pages offers an intuitive way to create beautiful, media-rich documents using impressive features you know how to use right away."
    http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/
    ..."When it’s time to share Pages documents with friends and colleagues, you can export them as PDF documents, in Word .doc format, as RTF, or as plain text documents. Or send your documents to iWeb for publication on your website as Pages ’08 or PDF documents. (For the former, readers will need a copy of Pages; for the latter, Preview or Adobe Reader.)"
    And you can try iWork'08 free for 30 days...

  • I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button.  When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format.  Is there a quick fix?

    Hi,
    You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
    In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

  • How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

    How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original?   Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

    There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture:  a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made.  (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
    The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack.  A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack.  This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick.  If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album.  Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick".  (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.)  The change is immediate.  The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

  • Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

    My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

    Hi mha007,
    Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
    Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
    When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
    Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
    Firefox is my preferred and default browser.
    ========
    surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

    Mail stopped working. Now get blank screen with icons (delete, file, forward, etc) at top. Then goes blank. iPad 2 purchase 12/11

    Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • How do I make my email look like it's from my main address?

    Hey Gang,
    I use me.com email to get it pushed to my phone, ipad, etc. 
    When sending an email, how can I make it look like it's from my "real" email address, and not my me.com address?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You can't: the iCloud server won't allow it.

  • Screen looks like photo negative

    After using Siri, the screen changed to what looks like a photo negative. I am going to try restore to resolve. This happened without warning and nothing has happened to the screen, no water damage, never been dropped etc. very weird.

    So, after looking through the forums I found that going to settings----->general----->accessibility---->invert colors switch off. Don't know how that happened in the first place but it resolved the problem. Some kind of weird glitch I guess.

  • Outgoing mail keeps defaulting to a secondary account rather than the account I sent the message from?

    I have a new MacBook Air. I have two google mail accounts set up in the mail app  - one primary account and one secondary account. For some reason my outgoing messages keep defaulting to the secondary account. Even when I create a new message or reply to a message from the primary account and have the primary account highlighted, replies keep coming back to the secondary account. When I hover over the outgoing email address, it looks like it was sent from the secondary account even though I sent it from the primary account. I've gone into settings and looked at everything, and I still can't figure out what is causing this problem.

    i know it may sound crazy, but it does.
    I sent the same email out through my outlook and the person received the correct version. There is an issue with my Mail but thanks for the advice tho.
