Mail - Email recieved with Attachment always MIME

Hello,
I sent an email with an attachment; it was a .html file, to my iMac Mail program. I am receiving it as a MIME attachment. In fact it does this with other files I have sent with different extensions. I am expecting the attachement to be simply whatever it is I am sending. What am I encountering and how can I fix this.
Thanks
iMac OS X 10.5.8
Mail 3.6
Sent using Outloook on an XP PC

Nearly all attachments are a MIME type file, but that is not mentioned when Mail can determine what type of file it is, most often identified by the extension. Calling it simply a MIME attachment means there may be some confusion as to what file format it is actually in.
With the message open, click on View and place the cursor on Message and choose Raw Source. Is there a header for the attachment that states what type file it is?

  • Sending (imap) email draft with attachment created on computer from iphone

    Here's one situation:
    I type up an email and attach an excel file to it, then save it as a draft (in my @me.com drafts).
    The draft email is now visible in the drafts folder on all of my devices: apple mail on my computer that I originally used, my iphone mail drafts, and also by signing on to www.me.com and opening my mail drafts.
    one problem is when you open up an email draft on me.com that was created on a computer mail.app, only to see the message body text lose all of its formatting and appear to be jumbled html.
    My main concern / question is:
    The email draft with attachment appears to be in tact on me.com and on the original computer, but NOT on the iphone. On the iphone, the attachment seems to disappear. Well, not disappear, because it gets replaced by a small rectangle with a blue question mark in it. Basically you cannot view the attachment on the iphone. When you try to send this draft from the iphone, it works, but with jumbled text & no attachment.
    Does anyone have similar problems???

    You are correct about the iDisk app as I have started to use that a little bit more for the sharing purposes.
    However my concern wasn't over the simple task of getting excel files onto the iPhone. It's the fact that email attachments that are either in drafts, OR ALSO if you move a message (with an attachment) into an IMAP email folder, are completely lost when it comes to viewing or sending them from the iPhone. It's stupid - the attachments are still there on my computer (and I think they are still there on the me.com mail viewer as well).
    Sometimes I move certain important work emails (that have attachments) into an IMAP email folder so they can be accessed from anywhere. The fact that the iPhone shows the paperclip and placeholder bit not the actual file is maddening. At least If the attachment was actually SENT from the iPhone, I wouldn't even care about not being able to view it (or even view the File name that is also lost).

  • Open Default Email Editor with attachment

    How I open default email editor with attachment. Now I can just open the email editor with mailto,subject,body BUT i cant open it with a attachment, which is in a server.

If you must use 1.5, you may have to hand-roll a solution for each environment you support. I'm not personally aware of any 1.5-compliant library that provides this functionality.Since youve replied, the 1.6 solution of opening an email but without an attachment is not good much use to me, and the creation of various support files and putting them into an attachment is the part of the process that the user has most problems with. So either I could either just create the attachment somewhere and let the customer handle the whole email side of things OR I could make use of the fact that my customers email address is embedded in their license and that an smtp server can be used to send an email from anyone, to open a form for the user to write a problem description and then send it from within my application, but the trouble with this approach is they can't have full control over the email they send.

    With respects to the following:
    The bit you'll have most diffulty with is the attachment, because you can't be sure that
    the directory path specified is one that the database can read from. You can probably
    resolve this by using some java to move the file to a directory which utl_file can see.Another alternative is to specify a location on then database server where all file attachments MUST be copied to and the define and Oracle DIRECTORY (CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY [dir_name] AS '/dir/name/on/files/system';) that references this location. When you attach a file to an email, then you only have to refer to the DIRECTORY for the file location.
    Just my 2 cents on the topic. :-)

  • Lost mail, forwarded doc with attachment.  No record and not received

    Using a message and attachment from an email in my files, created new message with updated info to send to CEO. Hit 'send' and heard normal rush sound. Later checked my sent file and no record. Called CEO exec asst not received. Tried again with a shorter message same result. Sent another message with an attachment to another exec, no problems. iPad problem or system?

    Not recipient.
    I have both a Me and a Yahoo account.
    When I forward a mail with an attachment using Yahoo account, it shows the sending bar, makes the sound that a mail was sent and even put the arrow icon on the left side of the original mail. But no mail is sent (recipient doesn't receive it and I don't get my blind copy).
    This also happens when I send a mail from an app (notes, noterize, numbers, pages, etc.).
    If in both cases I use my Me account, it works fine.
    Using Yahoo account, forward without attachments, and reply works fine.
    Don't know what to do.

  • Sending mail from plsql with attachement

    Hi Friends,
    i wanted to prepare an excel report and send that by email useing PLSQL .
    i know the inbuild packages UTL_FILE and UTL_SMTP can do this job . But my DBA not allowing me to do this . My DBA adviced me to do this work with in database by inplementing BLOB.
    I have never come accross to this task with in database , ( preparing the excel file and attaching that with mail and send it to users ) ??.
    can some one share tips & sample codes if any ???
    Thank You,
    Raj.

    First thing is Excel is Microsoft Specific and cant be created using UTL_FILE. May be as Excel supports CSV you can create CSV file using UTL_FILE.
    Next BLOB is a datatype like CHAR or VARCHAR2. You can store data in it. Thats all nothing much. With BLOB you can store an excel file. BLOB can't create or send it via EMail.
    So it would be better you talk to your DBA asking him to give more details.
    Thanks,
    Karthick.

    Hi Daniel,
    I must agree with Hüseyins Statement. I mean do you ever experienced that you have found an 200 mb e-mail in your mailbox?
    I would say you should use the BCS-Class to send an e-mail or some kind of FM like SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.

  • Matching email Subject with attachment content

    Hello All,
    Here is my requirement.  I receive and email from a third party.  The emai Subject field has the name of the file that is the attachment.  I need to pick up the email with PI and put the attachment to disk as a file where the name of the file is the "Subject" field of the email.
    I have been able to write the attachment to disk as a file using the PayloadSwapBean.  But how do I collect the name of the file from the "Subject" field so I can use it as the name of the file when I write?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Use Dynamic Configuration. The Technical name for this Subject field in mail adapter is SHeaderSUBJECT. You can use it and assign it to FileName parameter of File adapter.

  • How to include all of the original text in email replies with attachment

    I am using Mac Mail and I have set up the composing preferences to include all of the original message when responding. This only works so long as I don't send an attachment. If I send an attachment in my reply then the recipient doesn't receive any of the previous text, although the copy in my 'sent' box has it on. I contacted BT and got the following response "If you can send and receive emails including attachments via this software then this indicates that the client configuration is correct, and unfortunately this is as far as we can support Mac Mail. I would suggest you seek further advice from Apple as this may be down to the way you have configured the mail client’s composing preferences. Apple’s help desk will be able to tell you if this is a known issue". I've searched the forum for an answer but couldn't find one, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Annette, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I don't know what is causing your mail problem, but offer a possible alternate solution.
    Open the email you want to respond to. Then click reply. Then copy the text.
    Then open a new message and paste the copied text. Add your attachment & any additional new text. Then send.

  • When sending an email message with attachment, the message disappears.

    I send and receive messages without any problems but when I try sending a message with an attachment (using Documents to Go, IAnnotate PDF, IWork,) the message somehow disappears (it is not sent to the destination and not listed on "Sent" messages folder. Is anyone having the same issue?

    Hi Jaime,
    Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both  objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu  = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
    Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps

  • In Mail - emails arrive with the wrong name?

    I am receiving emails both in general and from FaceBook with the wrong name as the sender.  Today I received an email from "Jerri" and the name shown was "Marilyn".  I also receive all my FB emails from 'Dina'  and they are from all kinds of different people.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.10.2.  I looked on FB to find an answer, but can't find anything, but it must be with Mail, as the emails arrive from anyone direct (not from FB) and they are wrong.  I did just rebuild Mail, but the same wrong names are there.

    It is an excellent question .. it used to happen when I ran my first Mac on snow leopard but I have never pursued the reason until I saw your question.
    Here is a useful reference.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55416/my-mac-minis-computer-name-keeps- changing-when-it-resumes-from-sleep
    Something is faulty in the main router. That it is a TC is no surprise really.. they are far from being great routers.
    Of course if this didn't happen on previous OS but is now happening since you moved to Yosemite.. well you know where the blame lies.. although how Yosemite is affecting it I don't know.
    Since I moved everything to Asus router I no longer have the problem. But my Mac was up to (5) and I thought this is getting ridiculous.
    Let me copy and paste the answer and kudos to the guy who posted it.. Jon not me.
    I've seen this happen when the local DNS server has DNS caching enabled, but doesn't flush the cache often enough (or at all).
    You can set your Host Name/Computer Name to a static value using scutil in Terminal. This means that your Mac will no longer change it's name automatically, so it's important that there are no other machines on your network that actually have that hostname. When you run this, replace "new_hostname" with your desired hostname:
    sudo scutil –-set HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set ComputerName new_hostname
    You can check to make sure the values are set by running:
    sudo scutil –-get HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get ComputerName new_hostname
    When you do this you might keep getting errors that another computer of the same name is on the network.. just reboot the TC to clear the DNS cache.
    Or if that doesn't work you will need to clear the cache from the local computer.

Maybe you are looking for
