Mail attachments in lion not forwarding

Hi Everyone!
It seems when I go to forward and email containing an attachment they are being stripped out and not forwarding with the mail ( I can see the attachment is not there) Is there a setting for this? or how can I fix this issue. I want all my attachments to send with the email automatically. I have been using redirect to workaround the issue but then the email does not look to others like it has come from me.
Thanks for your help!!

Thank You but thats not it ,
I just tried it with a 25kb attachment and it is not there it just shows this <image001.jpg>
It may only be certain images that do this, as I tried with a few others and some do and some don't? Weird.

How can I get my mail (on Mountain Lion) not to store filed emails that are already stored on the server

I am having issues with my Mail. I am trying to find out how to keep my computer from storing mail that I have put into the servers folders. Many of my messages have large attachments, and to me, it seems to be eating up ALOT of space on my computer. I have ten folders that strore up to 2 gigs of old data each. I am afraid if i delet them from the mail( on my mac ) it will delete it in on my server. (Yahoo) I have looked quite a few places, to no avail.
Thanks for any suggestions

Yes, deleting messages with your Mac from IMAP folders will delete them from the IMAP server. That's how IMAP is supposed to work.
While not exactly what you requested, you might consider setting the account in question to cache messages but omit attachments. That's in the Advanced tab of Accounts inside Mail Preferences. You can even set it to "Don't keep copies of any messages," but then you can't read any message when not connected to the network.
You cannot set that option folder by folder, but you can set it account by account.

Mail rules in Lion not working

Multiple issues here.
Rules are not applied - though I confirm they should.
Rules don't actually change.
Has the whole rules functionality wor for you?
Thanks

After re-creating all of the 30 some rules I used in Snow Leopard in Mail in Lion, I discovered that many of them were not working properly.
The rules that specified relatively simple criteria to match, such as specific strings to search for in the From, To, Subject fields, were working OK.
The rules that weren't working properly were the ones for Apple Developer mailing lists, in which I look for a string value in the custom List-Id header. For example, if the List-Id of the email contains cocoa-dev.lists.apple.comcocoa-dev.lists.apple.com, move it to such-and-such a mailbox. I noticed after I added the custom header field to the list of rule headers (by using the Edit Header List… command), that List-Id was sometimes changed to just plain List. After quitting mail and looking at the saved version of Mail's rules (in the file /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/MessageRules.plist), I found that Mail was saving the rules as List rather than the proper custom header of List-Id. As a result, the rules appeared not to work because, obviously, there was no List header value. After editing the MessageRules.plist manually with Property List Editor, and replacing List with List-Id, all of the rules started working properly.
Just wondering what types of rules you guys had and whether it might be the same inability to save headers with a - in them.

Mail in Mountain Lion - not deleting emails

Hi
i have Mountain Lion and have noticed by emails from an exchange server are not deleting. I cannot move them to trash - an error appears. I have deleted the account and re-submitted.
This occassionally happened in Lion but now my inbox is getting overwhelmed with items to delete
thanks, Julian.

I think I might have solved it myself!! I did two things almost at the same time and it has solved my problem - i am just not sure which did it.
- I deleted some emails - reduced the size of my mailbox which is large.
- I select Rebuild from the Mailbox menu option.
One of those did it!
Good luck,

E-mail from contact form not forwarding to e-mail host provider

I just made updates to and existing Muse file and now the email from the contact form isn't going through to my email provider.
Anyone else having this issue in Muse 2014?
Thanks.

Hi,
I've no idea how you can suppress such an message in MS Outlook. I'm a little bit surprised though, you have chosen an OLE2 approach. Why don't you simply send e-mail messages from the database using utl_smtp or utl_mail ?
Hope this helps,

Attachments will not forward with rules

Mail 8.2 will not forward attachments if forwarding using a rule.

It's a known issue in OS X 10.7 and later that attachments are not included when a message is forwarded automatically by means of a rule. The workaround is to use "Redirect" instead of "Forward" in the rule. It will look to the recipient as though the message came from the original sender, not from you.

Mail rule not forwarding attachments

Using Mail rules to forward email to another account, the attachments are not forwarded with the original email message. With a manual forwarding action, the original message is forwarded with the attachments. Thoughts?

I have the same problem in MacOS 10.7.5, and it is a heavy problem, cause in fact Apple prevents us from professional work.May be we should chenge to Microsoft Exchange. I didn't have this problem in former versions, the forwarding WITH attachements worked fine.
The solution with the redirecting is only a emergency workaround, because it doesn't permit a professional handling of messages.
This Bug is strange, because forwarding the same message manually (choosing "forward" from the menu), the problem doesn't exist!!!!
As an "Only Mac User" since 1988 I'm very disappointed about the fact, that Apple doesn't take serious the problems of their users caused by BUGS.

Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments.

Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments. Other recipients of the same email DO receive these attachments. It doesn't matter whether it is a jpg, pdf, doc, or other. Sending from gmail or entourage works, only sending from apple mail is a problem. This has been an ongoing problem for me in Lion and Snow Leopard. I'm new to this forum, so not sure I'm posting in the right area, but I've searched for an answer and can't find anything. Do I need a plug-in or something? I like my apple mail and don't want to switch, but this is a real problem for me. Help, please!

We have the same problem in Snow Leopard, so the problem isn't new. I've been researching this for a while now. Based on what I've read in a whole load of discussions it seems it's an issue in the way Outlook reads the e-mails send by Apple Mail. I've no idea of the technicalities of this but one obvious difference is that Mail's default formatting is Rich Text and Outlook's is HTML, but what do I know.
We've done variuos test with our PC based clients but with no success: Send as Icon; Window's friendly attachement; Mail Attachement Iconiser, etc. Nothing gets rid of the problem entirely. We're a Mac based Public Relations agency and we send image to the media all of the time...and we have no guarantees that they are getting through.
It's frustrating that Mail doesn't have an option, as it does for plain text, to send in an outlook friendly way. To me it's a huge problem and if Apple isn't going to sort it, given that Outlook is the choice of Enterprise and 95% of our clients, then we're going to have to spend thousands and switch to Outlook. Apple have gone to great pains to promote cross-compatibility with PC's and perhaps this is one little example of where they could try harder.
Mail has not had much obvious love and attention for a while and if there's an Apple employee looking in on this thread, perhaps it's time to love it up, give it a few more bells and whistles (without over-complicating of course) and make it sing with Outlook.
My last attenpt is to try Thunderbird as a default mail client; I'm told it doesn't suffer from the same PC compatibility issues.

An apple script that saves mail attachments no longer works in lion

In my mail rules, I have been using an apple script, which, if the sender belongs to a certain group, saves any attached files to a special folder I have for attachments from that group. After installing Lion, It performs other parts of my rule (plays a sound, for instance and moves the mesage to a special mailbox, for another), but it FAILS now to save the attachment using the script below. I hope someone knows of a workaround. If not, I hope apple will fix this soon. Here's the script--
using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
        tell application "Mail"
            repeat with oneMessage in theMessages
                set {mail attachment:theAttachments} to oneMessage
                repeat with oneAttachment in mail attachments of oneMessage
                    save oneAttachment in ("i828:Users:i8:Desktop:Poker Player:PPlayattach2") & (name of oneAttachment)
                end repeat
            end repeat
        end tell
    end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

This worked brilliantly!
Thanks

E-Mail App: Why not play .GSM e-mail attachments like .WAV are played?

I get two kinds of voice-mail attachments forwarded to my e-mail.
At work, our "OneVoice" system sends me a .wav file as an e-mail attachment.
My personal Efax.com number sends me a .gsm file as an e-mail attachment.
On my computer, the Quicktime player will play either type of audio file.
On my iPod Touch, the Mail app will open the .wav attachment and play it with Quicktime player.
Unfortunately, the Mail app just shows the .gsm file as an icon in the message but does not attempt to open or play the attachment, though I confident Quicktime player on iPod could play .gsm like it does on my computer.
Is there any way I can play a .gsm e-mail attachment on my iPod Touch?
Should the Mail app recognize a .gsm e-mail attachment like it does a .wav ?

The mail app will only recognize what it is programmed to recognize. There are many files that work on desktop computers that don't play on the iPhone. Some of apples own office docs will not open on the iPhone while MS office docs will.
Apple does not list all files the iPhone does support, but the audio support does not include GSM. If the phone doesn't know how to decode it, the Mail app can't play it either.
From Apple iPhone tech specs:
Audio formats supported: AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

Mail (in Mountain Lion) automatically opens my PDF attachments rather that adding them as a file. How do i stop this?

Mail (in Mountain Lion) automatically opens my PDF attachments rather than attaching them as a "file". How can I prevent this?

Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Applications tab, and check the box labeled Don't display contents of attachments inline. Then relaunch Mail.

Mail attachments not saving to the folder I choose

My mail attachments are not saving to the folder I choose. When I select a file to save in the mail drop-down box, I am given options to save to a folder of my choice. However, when I select save the document is actually saved deep in some Mail Downloads area, not in my chosen folder. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

What kind of files are you trying to attach?
Is it all recipients having this problem or specific one(s)?
Could you possibly post a screenshot of the sent message from your side and a screenshot of what the recipient sees?
What happens if you send one of these messages to yourself?

Mail attachments not downloading (shows download arrow icon only)

Mountain Lion's Mail seems to be very flakey.
The main problem I have is that quite often when an email comes in with an attachement all I see is an icon with a download arrow. When I click it nothing happens. Usually I have to open the message in a new window, click loads of times until eventually it opens (usually several copies of it).
These are not big files, images, pdfs or .ppt files usually. No more than a meg. Often there are multiple attachements and maybe one or two ar displayed in the body (if images) the others are download icons.
Activity shows the mail coming in and that it takes a little wile to download as if the attachment is being transferred.
Its getting really anoyying. Never had this problem before in Lion or previous.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
