Mail is squishing / squashing / distorting certain jpg attachments

Somehow my last post got marked as 'solved' by me, by accident.
Searched around and have seen this question in some form, but no answer. I have more/new details from my own trouble shooting
Mail is sometimes squashing or distorting certain .JPG attachments when sent to others. Not all the time, just sometimes. The best way to describe it is it turns them into not quite accurate thumbnails. Re-saved as a JPEG-2000 in preview fixes it, but then if I convert back to .JPG, same issue.
Doesn't work if file name is converted to .JPEG.
Restarting mail and computer doesn't help.
Doesn't happen with ALL .JPG's, just some. For the ones it happens to, it happens each time.
Oddly enough, when the .JPG is attached with a Word file, no issues at all. Doesn't matter if it's an image I'm having issues with prior.
I do not believe it's a Mac  or PC issue, as when I send it to my personal gmail account and access it there through Gmail's site, the image is distorted in the viewer and remains distorted when I open it up using preview on my mac. Oddly, the same messages forwarded back from Gmail using the web browser to Mac Mail do not have this issue.
Also while in Gmail, when you to to save the image, you have to right click it in the body of the text. The dropdown is now gone. Once you right click it, it prompts you to save it as 'unnamed.jpg.' wich is NOT what I'm sending.
Here's what I'm running:
OS 10.9.5
iMac Mid 2011
Mail 7.3
Mail is set to Plain Text for all messages.
Any thoughts?

Sorry, I should note messages sent from gmail to Mac Mail do not have this issue.

  • Mail on iPad not downloading JPG attachments

    The "Mail" app on my iPad2 has recently started to not download JPG files.
    The JPG attachment shows as the "download arrow". Nothing happens when I press it (to force a download) or press-and-hold it (to save it). This problem is restricted to the iPad as the JPG attachments are visible both in Mail on my Mac and via iCloud through a browser.
    Strangely, if I 'forward' the mail to myself (from the iPad) and chose 'include attachment', the incoming email now downloads the JPG attachment and, if you press-and-hold, the 'save image' menu appears. Clearly this is a work-around but not really very suitable.
    This may be a coincidence but this appears to have started after I moved from MobileMe to iCloud !
    Any ideas ?
    Cheers.

  • Jpg attachments are missing on e-mails

    Since I have installed Leopard, my jpg attachments are missing on some e-mails.
    The picture is there, but the paperclip is missing
    If I send a PDF file or any other file it is working ok

    I have seen the same problem. Some times the jpg seems to be missing. What I have been doing is to save the jpg to the desk top. Even though I could not see it I knew it was there. The subject made reference to the attached picture or some such. As it will save it had to have been there some where. If I want to forward this e-mail I just reattach the jpg that I saved to the desk to. I tried just forwarding the e-mail but the jpg (attachment or whatever) did get transmitted.

  • Anyway to open .jpg attachments in the mail?

    Anyway to open .jpg attachments in the Gmail on IPad 3?

    winmail.dat files usually mean that the email has been sent in 'rich text format' - you could ask the person who sent it to you to send it a different format (e.g. plain text or HTML) or there are a few apps in the app store that support it (search the store for 'winmail.dat')

  • PDFmaker not converting Jpg attachments to emails in Microsoft Outlook 2013

    I am having problems converting jpg attachments to emails in Microsoft Outlook 2013 using PDFmaker. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 11 and just updated it to the latest version and that did not solve the problem.
    I can convert the emails and Word attachments and can convert the jpgs manually by saving them to my desk top and then adding them as attachments to the resulting PDF but I have several emails each was several attachments that I want to save and it will take me hours to do it manually.
    I was thinking there might be some security setting on the jpgs that is preventing PDFmaker from automatically converting them.
    I already confirmed that the Preference Conversion Setting is selected to include all attachments in the Adobe PDF. I also unselected the box that reads "block download of external content" but it did not help.

    Manual method is a difficult task .You can easily transfer your mails from the Thunderbird to MS Outlook using third party conversion software.i faced the same problem.i tried the following utility. It converts all my Thunderbird accounts to a single PST.you can also try the free demo version of the software.

  • How can I get Firefox 6 to recognize and display jpg attachments inside the new Yahoomail; this works in Firefox 5 and IE.

    In the new yahoo mail system, firefox 6 (installed two days ago or so), I am not able to view jpg attachments. The OS is XP. I can view text attachments. I am able to view these attachments in MS IE. On my laptop, where I am still using FF 5.0, there are also no problem in viewing the attached pictures.
    AFL

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Sending Photos as bmp or jpg attachments

    I'm looking to find out how to send photos as jpg attachments, which is how I receive photos from other iphone users. However, when I sent a photo, it displays in-line in the email body. When it's received, trying to save it, the only option is a bmp file.

    As with the Mail.app on a Mac, all photo attachments are displayed inline or viewed in place within the body of the message - for recieved and sent messages. Depending on the recipient's email client, the attachment will be displayed inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened, or as an attached file only which must be selected for the attachment to be opened and viewed. This does not affect or change the file type. The iPhone's Mail client cannot change an attached file type. If the attached file is a JPEG, it is sent as a JPEG.

  • I want to drag files to mails but not in body of mail , more over the available type of attachments is only photo or video so how I can attach another type

    I want while replying incoming mails to drag files to mails but not in body of mail , more over the available type of attachments is only photo or video so how I can attach another type

    There is no dragging of anything in iOS.
    Attach as many files or emails as you'd like until it reaches the max capacity of attachements for the email provider.

  • IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

    I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows  The following file could not be imported.  The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
    I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
    Any ideas anyone?
    Wilson

    I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
    Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

  • CFIMAGE not working with certain JPG

    Hi all,
    Got an emergency here, hope anyone can help.
    I find that more and more people are encountering problems using CFIMAGE -- no error is thrown when reading/saving certain jpg images, but the result image is just blank and gray.
    The code is just simple:
    <CFSET IM=ImageRead("C:\DSCN1570.JPG")>
    <cfset ImageResize(IM,300,200,"highPerformance")>
    <cfset ImageWrite(IM,"C:\DSCN1570-2.JPG")>
    or even just:
    <CFSET IM=ImageRead("C:\DSCN1570.JPG")>
    <cfset ImageWrite(IM,"C:\DSCN1570-2.JPG")>
    This happens after applying the latest hotfix for 8.0.1 (Cumulative Hotfix 2 for CF 8.0.1). If this patch is not installed the processing works.
    Attached is an offending file. The code works if i replace the file with another jpg.
    Any help is much appreciated. I'm running CF 8,0,1,195765 devt edition on Windows XP and my java version is 1.6.0_04. My metadata-extractor is 2.3.1.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Yeah, sorry: missed the bit - that BKBK pointed out - about you saying you did some testing.  To be honest, I would never release code into production without load-testing it first.  Especially something that's perhaps already red-flagged as being a risk.  Of course there was no real reason for you to think that the previously fixed issue had been regressed.  So not - perhaps - a red flag.  maybe just an amber one.
    I don't believe load testing is a "nice to have", it's essential.  In the past I just slapped my code into production after a bit of a click round to make sure it all seemed to work.  Then we released some code which worked fine whilst only one person was accessing it, but had some severe logic flaws in it which made it fail - in a data-destroying sort of way - which caused us an awful lot of issues with the client (which in turn got me shouted @ by the boss), not to mention wasted time fixing everything.
    That lead me to investigate whether we could have found that sort of thing had we load-tested: yes.  Easily.  Lesson learned.  It also turned up a few other things we didn't notice which were easy tweaks which improved the performance of the app, and made the client happy again.
    But anyway, that's just something to think about for future reference, I guess.  I fully understand what you mean about time constraints often preventing one from taking the perfect foolproof approach to things: we've all done that. Just sux you got caught out by it.
    As for bringing it to Adobe's attention... go here: http://cfbugs.adobe.com/cfbugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html.
    It'd help if you could contrive a stand-alone test rig that can be made to fail under load.

  • Mail.app not recognizing/only partially recognizing attachments

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to OS X 10.5, mail.app intermittently doesn't fully recognize attachments. The mail.app *Message Viewer* window correctly lists the email subject and the no. of attachments. But viewing the message shows no attachment, nor is there any 'save attachment' button.
    However View -> Message ->*Raw Source* will show the attachment, albeit encoded as base64
    My workaround for now is to highlight the message in the Message Viewer window and then select File -> *Save Attachments...* But it's highly inconvenient. Right-mousing on the message in the Message Viewer window does not offer the "Save Attachments..." menu item.
    I've experienced the problem with someone sending me an attached PDF, and also regularly from Outlook/Exchange people sending me meeting invitations with attached .ics files. They all show up as a message with 1 item attached in the Message Viewer window, but there's no attachment when the message is viewed, unless I select View->Message->Raw Source
    Anyone found a pattern or a workaround? Experiencing the same problem?
    thx, ...b

    Exact same thing here. This solution does work. But why doesn't attachment won't just show up when you view the message as Plain Text, which is, and always has been, my default. This has always worked in previous versions of Mail.

  • Mail crashes on opening any message with attachments

    mail crashes on opening any message with attachments
    this started happening about a month ago. I thought the problem was that there was too much mail in the program -
    so, I acquired a program called MAILSTEWARD (which I recommend!) and it stores & saves my old mail.
    I reset MAIL, so it kept my address and smart folder instructions etc, but all the mail itself was gone (I forget how I did that - I probably will try it again...)
    for a few weeks, everything was fine - I could open an eMail with an attachment, and it worked.
    but now it started crashing again everytime there's an attachment!
    don't know what to do - there's only a month's worth of mail in there (which I should clean out anyhow) - but it seems to me that's not too much...
    thanks!
    w

    that's it - I ran the updater - and I believe I have been able to use it all day without the program crashing when it encounters an attachment.
    one goofy thing I noticed, for the first time, there appear to be two applications folders on my start-up drive (1) in my user folder (2) in the "main" hard drive folder.
    MAIL is in both - I believe the "main" one was updated; when I turned on the "user" MAIL it crashed when I opened an eMail with an attachment; when I opened the same eMail with the "main" mail there was no problem.
    now what does this tell us?
    thanks again!
    will

  • JPG attachments sent to PC users

    I had no problems sending .jpgs as attachments to PC users as recently as June 2006. More recently, whenever I send .jpg attachments to the same recipients, the photo is "embedded" in the message window with NO attachment icon for them to click on to save/open. The only way for them to save is to right click on the image and save as .bmp. I haven't changed the method for sending attachments; all extensions are there, I send Windows Friendly Attachments and I've read the many forum postings regarding work-around suggestions. Since this is a new development on my computer is it possible that an Apple Software upgrade is the culprit here? I've spoken via telephone with Apple Support to alert them to the problem but got no "fix". New suggestions are appreciated.

    Freddy,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    There is no update issue to explain this -- the
    ability to send JPEGs to PC users is quite intact,
    and functioning.
    Do you use a Signature with your emais? If so, have
    you always used the same one?
    Ernie
    Yes, I do use a simple text signature and No it hasn't changed since my account was established. Whenever I add an attachment, it is always after the signature. I appreciate all the replies/advice I've received on this topic. I have experimented extensively by emailing attachments in various ways to my home PC. A few things I've tried have resulted in the .jpg arriving as an attachment, in addition to seeing it in the body of the email. Looks like I just have to decide which is the most efficient one! Thanks to everyone out there who took the time to write back.
