Mail receives JPEG as win.dat

When I am sent an email that contains a JPEG, Mail receives it as an winmail.dat. This is fairly new. Is there some setting that has changed? Or is the issue on the other end (sender, Windows Outlook 2013)?

I understand what you are saying and thank you for the response. I forgot to mention that in this scenerio I am the one sending and receiving the file's in question, and am sending to more people than just myself. What makes this more interesting is that the other recepients so far are receiving the JPEG's with out error. I seem to be the only one that is receiving the winmail.dat. Thank You in advance for your assistance.

IPhone 5: e-mail Receiving Problem through Cellular Data

Hi, all. I am having this problem since last week.
The problem I have is that the Mail app no longer downloads full email messages as usual, if I am on LTE or 3G connection.
It is kinda ****** me off as every emails I got are basically all html codes and unreadable. I have to press the "Download Full Message" button in order to read them.
However, I do not have such problem, if I am connected to wifi.
Anyone has such problem as well?
Any solution provided will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Merry X mas / Happy New Year!
Btw. I am using Hotmail.

Nothing except WE DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WITH OUR SYSTEM TRY TO FIND SOLUTION WITH APPLE!

I receive e-mail attachments " win mail.dat" from iPhones and iPads.All I can find is that Outlook users send these e-mails. I found "letter opener" and it helps but I'd rather receive jpeg in stead from my Apple friends

Last week I suddenly started receiving all e-mails with photo attachments from other iPad and iPhone users (on my iMac, iPhone as well as iPad!) as " winmail.dat" files. It says everywhere that that is caused by Outlook users sending RTF e-mails. Obviousely that is not the case here. I found an app to open the attachments, but of course that is no real solution. I asked Android and MS Outlook users to send me e-mails with JPEG attachments and the arrive aas they should.
Does anyone know the answer to this?

By the way, some non-delivery receipts (NDRs) are themselves spam messages with malicious attachments designed to infect your computer, so be cautious about opening any of those.

When I receive e-mails w/ attachments in PDF they show up as win.dat attachments and will not open w/ Acrobat

When I receive e-mails in Mail w/ PDF attachments they appear as win.dat attachments and will not open w/ Acobat Reader or Professional.

Photos Received as win.dat File

I have tried to e-mail photos to myself and in many cases they arrive as win.dat files and not jpeg files. Other times they arrive OK. Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm assuming it is related to file size, but I'm not sure. Is there a file size limit?
Thanks.

New mails received after IOS 5.0.1 update do not show graphics but instead unviewable file name and an attachment winmail.dat

I sent out a mail, composed by outlook 2007 in HTML format this afternoon which contained graphics, to several of my friends and copied myself. All of them had duly received the mail and were able to see the graphics in the mail in their iphones or ipads. However, the copy that was extended to myself had only the unviewable graphic filename and also an attachment winmail.dat(which cannot be opened) from both my iphone and ipad (both updated with IOS 5.0.1). Prior to this update, I had no problem of seeing graphics or photos in the mails received in both my ipad or iphone. I ran couple of test mails and they all ended up the same.
Any ideas??

Turned out, it's the Microsoft SP3 update that caused the problem.

Mac Office 2011 receiving win.dat or blank calender invites

Hi,
When calender invites are send to users using Mac Office 2011 from Office 2013, it is received as win.dat attachments, which turns out to be empty when opened. If send as a plain text invite, still it gets to mac users as empty. Mac users are on Mavericks

Hi,
Does this issue happen to other meeting attendees? Please try to send a meeting to a user who use Office for Windows and check if this issue continues.
Do you have any virus scanner installed? A virus scanner which integrates itself with Outlook and it may cause message to go blank. Please uninstall this integration part of your virus scanner on both the sender an recipient side and try again. See:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20
In addition, some users were able to fix this issue by unticking the option "When sending meeting requests outside of your organization, use the iCalendar format" under
File > Options > Calendar > section
Calendar Options in Outlook 2013. You may have a try of this.
Please let me know the result.

Error while sending excel sheet as attachment to Mail Receiver

Hi everyone,
I am facing the below error when I am trying to send data to Mail receiver adapter. The attachment is excel sheet.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection Mail_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Object not found in lookup of MessageTransformBean.: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of MessageTransformBean..
I don't understand where the problem is. This has been running since long time and last month we have changed our web dispatcher details. I hope everything is fine. But not sure the root cause for this issue.
Please help me in resolving this.
Thank you.
Regards
Bhanu T.

Check if this helps: MessageTransformBean module
Confirm that you have configured the MessagetransformationBean properly.
Are you trying to convert some payload into Excel and send it as an attachment in the Mail CC? If yes, then I hope that you have included the correct Content_type value.

Query on Mail Receiver Adapter

Hello Experts,
I am using Asyn Proxy to Mail Scenario.
Mail receiver adapter generating the Mail with Excel file attachment by using the following details.
R3 coding (Proxy calling code):-
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-FROM = From Mail ID.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-TO = To Mail ID
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-SUBJECT = 'Alert Mail'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-DATE = SY-DATUM.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT_TYPE = 'application/vnd.ms-excel;name="filename.CSV"'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT = 'Field1,Field2,Field3'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT_DISPOSITION = 'attachment'.
ID COnfiguration:-
    -->Selected the Use Mail Package & Content Encoding = base64
    -->Selected the Keep Attachment option.
I have two questions as mentioned below.
(1)Can i generate the Mail BODY and Excel file attachment both together in a single mail?
(2)With this same IR & ID Objects can i generate only Mail body without any attachment (i.e.
by changing the Content_Type in R/3 coding) ?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

Hi Michal,
Thanks for ur reply.
I referred your Blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments for genreating the
Mail With attachment and Content together.
but when I select the option KEEP ATTACHMENT in the Mail Receiver Adapter and sending only the Content data without any attachment coding as shown in this Blog then also i am getitng attachment(.txt) file and no mail content. In this case i have used the following R/3 coding.
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-FROM = From Mail ID.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-TO = To Mail ID.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-SUBJECT = 'subject'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-DATE = SY-DATUM.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT = 'How are u? This is Mail Content'.
Calling the Proxy method.
Important:- with this same coding if i deselct the KEEP ATTACHMENT option in ID then i am geeting
Mail Content properly.
So i think i have to use different communication chaneel one for the Excel file attachment and second for the Mail content.
Please suggest me if i am wrong.

Jagesh

Send XML File as attachement in Mail Receiver adapter

Hi all,
i have the following scenario. i would like to read an XML file from the file system and send this file as an attachement of a mail to a mail receiver specified in this file.
i would like to fill the payload of the mail with some information from the xml file and in addition i would like to send the complete xml file as an mail attachement.
can anybody tell me, how the mail receiver adater needs to be specified ?
best regards,
martin

Hey,
you can go for dynamic configuration of mail adapter.
In this you need to import a mail structure.
mail details such as to, from, subject and content of the mail are a part of the structure.
In your ID check the Use Mail package and also keep attachments.
Now you can give your details in mapping itself.
whatever you want to map in the content of the mail, map it in the content field.
also your file will behave as an attachment.
refer to this blog.
this is the mail structure. Import it as extenal definitions.

Mail receiver adapter: THeaderREPLY-TO not working on ASMA

Hello people,
(note: all the @ where changed by " at " because of limitations of SDN)
I'm trying to set some adapter specific message attributes (ASMA) in a mail receiver adapter.
Two properties I'm trying to set: THeaderFROM e THeaderREPLY-TO.
The first one is working great, the second one does not work.
My scenario is Soap to Mail. I send a soap message, in the message mapping a user defined function get the mail address (to and reply-to) and set it with DinamicConfiguration like this (hard coded to be simple):
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail", "THeaderREPLY-TO");
conf.put(key, "reply.to at teste.com";);
DynamicConfigurationKey from = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail", "THeaderFROM");
conf.put(from, "from at teste.com";);
As in the documentation, it should work. But the mail message reaches the mailbox with mime header Return-Path = from at teste.com.
Reading all the notes related to mail adapter (and adapter module processing) I found the tool TCPGateway to monitor what is going from adapter engine to the mail server. So I changed a little the scenario to test it and now the scenario is Soap->TCPGateway->MailServer. In the TCPGateway I got this:
EHLO brjgs916.weg.net
MAIL FROM:<from at teste.com>;
RCPT TO:<roberti at mycompany.net>;
DATA
Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 19:55:17 -0000
Subject: mail - teste
To: roberti at mycompany.net
From: from at teste.com
MIME-Version: 1.0
content-id: payload-98c5c8b0775111e090110018714e4a28 at sap.com
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="Untitled.xml";
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MTP_SAMPLE_MAIL_MESSAGE xmlns:ns0="http://soa.weg.net/sampleMail"><Title>titulo</Title><Body>body a ser preenchido</Body><Footer>footer tambem</Footer></ns0:MTP_SAMPLE_MAIL_MESSAGE>.
QUIT
With this information, I found that something is not right in the mail adapter, because it is not writing the relevant reply-to attributes to the mail message.
Some of you has any idea about it?
Thank you in advance.

Edited by: Waldemar Roberti on May 5, 2011 5:02 PM

Satish,
Actually (for testing purposes) I have the email roberti at mycompany.com set in all fields of receiver mail adapter mail attributes (from, to, cc and bcc). I turned all of them on and of and analysed the result. It seems that the information whe put on ASMA overloads the information on these mail attributes. But, in mail attributes, we don't have a field for REPLY-TO, just on ASMA we have this field.
So... the problem is in REPLY-TO. It has not been set in mail adapter, even if I set it with dinamic configuration.
thank you.

HI,
Please read above link for PayloadSwapBean.
You use the PayloadSwapBean module to replace the application payload of the XI message that contains the business data with another payload that is appended to the XI message as an attachment
Also see the links below.. how to use PayloadSwapBean.

Email attachments show up as win.dat.

Ok, apple is really hitting a nerve with this. My iPhone 4 used to have attachments show up as the appropriate extensions up to about 8 months ago. All the forum and blog post say it is a problem with my mail server/source. Ie outlook, rich txt, HTML . Well I've tried everything and was not able to fix the problem. We just got two iPads. And I was playing around with them. I sent a message with attachments to both our email addresses when opened on her ipad she was able to download and view the attachments. However on mine the attachments showed up as a win.dat. I no longer believe this is an outlook issue anyone have any suggestions other then purchasing some third party software or telling me something is wrong with my outlook.

Does this help? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053

Mail receiver adapter - line feed problem

Hi!
I am just configuring a mail receiver adapter. In the module tab i configured a conversion from XML to plain which works well. The plain text file is created but there are no line feeds after the plain text lines.
The configuration in the module tab looks like this:
Modulename: localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
Type: Local Enterprise Bean
Module key: XML2Plain
Module configuration:
XML2Plain - Transform.Class - com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
XML2Plain - Tansform.ContentType - text/plain;charset=utf-8
XML2Plain - xml.conversionType - SimpleXML2Plain
XML2Plain - xml.addHeaderLine - 0
XML2Plain - xml.fieldFixedLengths - 80,80,80,80,80,80
XML2Plain - xml.fixedLengthTooShortHandling - Cut
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Hi Stefan!
Thanks for your reply! Your suggestions would be perfect if I already had any kind of line break, eg. lf or crlf. At the moment there is no separator at the end of each line.
The XML file looks like this:
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns:X_ANSI_TXT xmlns:ns="urn:customer.com:edi:kunden">
<MSG>
<LINE_01>*** START OF REPORT ***</LINE_01>
<LINE_02>PO CHANGE REQUEST</LINE_02>
<LINE_03>DATE: 10/05/05 TIME: 0744</LINE_03>
<LINE_04 />
<LINE_05>PO TYPE: CR: Change to Release</LINE_05>
<LINE_06>PO #: DB65544027560070</LINE_06>

<LINE_11>FOB DESCRIPTION: ORIGIN (SHIPPNG PT)</LINE_11>
<LINE_12>*** END OF REPORT *** </LINE_50>
<LINE_13 />
</MSG>
After conversion the output looks like this:
*** START OF REPORT *** PO CHANGE REQUEST DATE: 10/05/05 TIME: 0744 PO TYPE: CR: Change to Release PO #: DB65544027560070 ORIGINAL PO DATE: 02/03/93 PO CHANGE REQUEST DATE: 10/05/05 SHPMT PMT METHOD: CC: COLLECT FOB POINT: OR:ORIGIN (SHIPPNG PT) FOB DESCRIPTION: ORIGIN (SHIPPNG PT) *** END OF REPORT ***
I would like to create a more readable format like this:
*** START OF REPORT ***
PO CHANGE REQUEST
DATE: 10/05/05 TIME: 0744
PO TYPE: CR: Change to Release
PO #: DB65544027560070
ORIGINAL PO DATE: 02/03/93
PO CHANGE REQUEST DATE: 10/05/05
SHPMT PMT METHOD: CC: COLLECT
FOB POINT: OR:ORIGIN (SHIPPNG PT)
FOB DESCRIPTION: ORIGIN (SHIPPNG PT)
END OF REPORT ***
Do I have to change the XML message or is there a chance to use a module entry?
Kind regards
Chris
