Mail changes the extension in attachments

Mail keeps changing the extension in file attachments. I can attach a word (.doc) document but when it sends it, the attachment is received as ".doc0". Therefore the receiver cannot open it. Same thing happens with PDF that is being sent as ".pdf0". Has anybody experienced this?

I found it! Why the extension changes.
It has to do with signatures!
When you place the PDF file just above the signature (or I guess inside), the extension changes name!
This is my signature:
Jonatan 'Kip' Kipowsky
0709-XX XX XX
[email protected]
Since I have TWO enters (for the air) above the line above my name, when I place the PDF file just above the line I place it INSIDE the signature.
I tried it high above the line and just over. Every time I placed it over, it changed the name, to .pdfdf and such.
How did I find out?
I used at PDF file with spaces in the name, foregin letters (swedish), two different mail servers (smtp) and sent to two different adresses (yahoo.se and my own). I tried with text and without text in the mail. Tried waiting, so the message would be auto-saved and without. Tried all different ways. Yes, friends. For an hour I had no life!
Regards,
Kip

Why does Mail change the size of attachments

I have been trying to send som JPEG files to a client. These files are no more than 450 kb. They were made in Adobe Illustrator CS5. The file sizes on my Mac are below 450 kb, yet when I attach them to an e-mail the size plummets to 31.3 kb, making them totally unusable for my client. I do not see any setting in Mail that would affect the file size of an attachment. I've attached files before with no problem. I do not know if this is because it's a JPEG. Unfortunately JPEG is the file format that they need. So to get arounfd this I've uploaded them to my server... but it would be so much easier to just be able to attach them to an e-mail.
Does anyone have a reason why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

Steve626 is onto it. Follw his directions.
"If so, when you attach the picture file to the email message, look in the lower right of the mail message window and there is a pop up window that lets you specify the size of the pciture file attachment. "
Load the image into the message then look for the "Image Size" Bottom right hand corner.
Works for me on my Mail Version 4.6 (1085).

IOS Mail changes .mhtml extension to .html when opening in another app

Hey there guys,
Just noticed this, this morning. Recently, our Backup server admin changed the report sent out by our Microsoft DPM server from PDF to MHTML output. (DPM could *never* format the PDF correctly and, surprise surprise, can format the MHTML output just fine).
Anyways, I purchased an MHTML viewer from the Mac App Store for OSX - all fine. I purchased the iOS version of the same developers viewer this morning and tried to open the mail attachment into that app. Oddly, it just showed as text - just like it does inside the iOS Mail app itself.
It was then that I noticed that the attachment extension was .html not .mhtml - yet the file attached to the email is definetely showing as .mhtml.
I tried a wee experiment and opened the attachment into Dropbox instead - sure enough, the extension was changed to .html again.
I then forwarded that message out to my gmail using the Mailbox app and opened the attachment into the MHTML viewer from there - perfect! Because it didn't change the extension as it passed the attachment to the opening app.
So, I have what obviously is a bug in the iOS Mail app - I just want to report it to Apple so it can be fixed. I can't find anywhere to log this bug without having to pay money for a support incident.
Knowing that Apple frequent these Communities (I have been contacted by them in the past following posts I've made here), I thought this might be the best course of action. Or, if I am wrong, someone would let me know! (Either about the bug, or how to report it)... ;-)
Thanks!
William

Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

Are you sure you want to change the extension from... BLOCKS Finder Editing

This is weird and is driving me nuts, but some Macs do not allow further Finder editing of file or folder names if I change their names (usually including numbers, dots and so on) in such a way that I receive the warning:
Are you sure you want to change the extension from..?
After I confirm that I want to change the name, the Finder does it but gets locked for editing (I can do other things) and does not allow any further file or folder editing until I force quit of Finder or reboot the Mac.
I have found that if right after confirming that I want to change the name I select the file and hit return (which selects its name), no problem arises. But I must do it in one or two seconds, or else it will be too late.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Change file or folder name including numbers and dots at the end.
2. Get the message "Are you sure you want to change the extension from..."
3. Confirm that I want to change the name.
4. FROM NOW ON, I CANNOT CHANGE THE NAME OF ANY FILE OR FOLDER UNTIL I FORCE FINDER QUIT. Unless of course I do the trick indicated above real quick!
Any hint? Any way to know what is going on? This could be a bug of Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier or a problem with a third party application. But how to know what is going on to prevent it? As said, some Macs show this issue, but not others.
Note: some related issues on this section searching for:
Finder Loses Keyboard Input
or
Sure change extension
For instance:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1974048
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1466505
Hint: some file or folder name changes are more prone to cause the issue than others. For instance, renaming a folder (and confirming it) as:
Testing.r00
brings the bug 100% of the times.
Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.

The message is a warning that you are doing something that the OS thinks is going to possibly cause a problem. You are creating the situation and the OS is doing nothing other than what you are asking it to do.
I don't know any exact answer why you can't access your files, but I do know that there are a few characters and things that will cause problems because they mimic names of invisible files. When you make a name that is close to being the same it can treat the file as the special one... meaning you can only access it via Terminal.
Ones you cannot use at all: the colon (:), slash (/), single or double period as first characters. (taken from Finder Help with a naming files search) It is best to stay away from any special characters as a rule. Also avoid using a period and 3 character suffix unless it is one that you are purposefully assigning so the file belongs to an application.
That said... even with the over 200 applications on my system I couldn't repeat your Testing.r00 problem. So, I don't know if it may be application related or not.

Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?

Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?
I'm updating an old site where the extensions for the pages were all.htm. This means that when I upload the site index.htm is not being over written by index.html.

Hi,
It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.

How do I change the extension directory?

I installed JBuilder and it changed my extension directory from the default:
JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext
to:
JBuilder8\jdk1.4\jre\lib\ext
how do I change it back?

nevermind, found a solution:
uninstall the jdk and reinstall.
it sets it back to \jre\lib\ext
(there's still the question of how to change the extension directory arbitrarily, but i'm not going to lose sleep over it)

Change the path for attachments after changing a server

Hello experts,
I have a requirement which I cannot solve...
By a customer a server which was used for saving the attachments is no longer active. The customer has now a file server. So in SAP we have changed the path information under Administration > System Initialisation > General Setting in the Path tab from the old server to the file server like this:
Old path:
oldServer\ALLGEMEIN\SAP\DOKUMENT_TEXT\
New Server:
newServer\ALLGEMEIN\SAP\DOKUMENT_TEXT\
But now I have the problem that all the path information in the UDFs from type LINK and also in all attachment fields like in activities, where the customer has put in a file are still standing on the old status.
We have allready copied all attachzments from the old server to the new one in the same structure as in the old server).
Now I have to change in all fields, which are from type LINK (this concerns by the customer only item master date, BP master data and activities) the path information.
That means I have to paste the string in all the fields 'oldServer' whith 'newServer'.
Has anybody an idea how I could do this???
Best regards,
Vural

Hi Vural,
We are facing same kind of issue with our landscape, how did you changed the path for attachments.
Tcode = IH01
Worked with user and tried to change the path for few attachments from \\old_server\GROUPS\ to \\new_server\GROUPS\ (storage server) and its worked, but as per user there are lot of files exist in server, they wants to upgrade the path for all files automatically from old_server to new_server.

Purchase order by e-mail: changing the e-mail subject

Hello all,
We are sending are purchase orders to the vendors by e-mail.
I would like to know how can I change the e-mail subject to a subject of my choice (for instance the PO number, etc.).
Thanks for your help,
Sivan

Hi,
You can change the e-mail subject to a subject of your choice by following way.
If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for example, to a
vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the condition record for the
output type (for example in Transaction MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab
page. Enter the mail title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot
maintain an additional mail text.
Hope this will help u,
Deepak

Jdeveloper 11g: how to change the extension library Oracle JDBC

Hello
We use JDeveloper 11g for our desktop (swing) projects. When I debug the project in IDE, the classpath includes this jar: C:\Oracle\jdevstudio1117\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jdbc_11.1.1\ojdbc6dms.jar
The ojdbc6dms.jar is in Oracle JDBC extension library. We actually want to use ojdbc14dms.jar as our jdbc library jar. I exclude the ojdbc6dms.jar in the project classpath setting and add a user library for ojdbc14dms.jar. When I run the project, the IDE still use ojdbc6dms.jar in the classpath. I try to use "Manage Libraries" under "Tools" menu to change the jar file in Oracle JDBC extension library, but it cannot be changed.
Can I ask how to change ojdbc6dms.jar to ojdbc14dms.jar in Oracle JDBC? Or, how can I let the IDE not use ojdbc6dms.jar when I run the project? Thank you
Leaf

Replace the ojdbc6dms.jar with ojdbc14dms.jar in C:\Oracle\jdevstudio1117\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jdbc_11.1.1
The ojdbc14dms.jar may be required to be renamed to ojdbc6dms.jar in the C:\Oracle\jdevstudio1117\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jdbc_11.1.1 as the pre-configured settings are for ojdbc6dms.jar.

Mail changing the resolution of attached pics

Mail is changing the resolution of jpegs when I attach them. This happens no matter how I attach them. It changed a 4.4 mb photo into a 333 kb. It did not do this 6 months ago but now I cannot send a pic.
Thanks

Hi,
In the Compose window look at the Image Size button at the bottom right. I think you will find it has gotten changed to something other than Actual Size. Change it back to Actual Size, and it will stay there for subsequent message until you change it again.

Why does Mail change the sender email address?

My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thanks -

In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
it reads correctly as [email protected]
Does this provide me a clue?
Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances.
