Outlook Uuencode Attachment

Hi,
Within an application a report is build. This report is a zip-file and it is send by mail to a cliënt as attachment. When we look at it in the webmail it looks ok, with an attached zip-file. But when we open this mail in Outlook the zip-file is decoded in the text with a begin- and endmarker of uuencode. We don't have Exchange, we use Oracle Connector for Outlook R.10.1.1.0.5.71011
Where does it go wrong? Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Hi,
From your description , I understand that save as cannot extent in your Office 2007.
All the default files and outlook just saves it using the same name and extension as on the message.
Do you have Windows operating system set to hide the extensions for known file types? If so, show extensions and you'll see outlook is saving them as filename.doc.
From windows explorer, Organize button, folder and search options.
Look on the View tab for the option to hide known file types.
Sincerely,
Harry

Unable to see markups in Outlook 2010 attachment preview

Hi,
I am unable to see markup tags which were done in Word 2010 in the Outlook 2010 attachment preview window. The word file normally gets marked up and sent as an attachment. Most of the time the attachment preview will highlight the markup over the words and
when the mouse is hovered over it will show the actual comment. For a couple of my users, this has stopped working.
When they double-click on the attachment they also cannot see the comments. However, if they save it to the local or network drive and then open the file all the markups will automatically appear.
As a test I asked them to send me the email which had this problem to see if this happens on my Outlook and I cannot see the markups either. So I guess something must have happened with the Word file?
Any ideas what this could be? The documents were originally composed in Word 2010 as far as I know. I have also created a test markup file and emailed this to myself and this shows the highlights fine.
I attach a picture of when its working well.
But with the documents that my users have this does not show.
Any suggestions really appreciated.

Hi,
What if we copy all the content from the problematic Word document and paste it to a new blank document, save and attach it to an email, will you see the markup?
Please let me know the result.

I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop. What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop. Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 – Attach to email not working

Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 / OS 10.6.4
I am having a very annoying issue with the "Attach to email" feature in Acrobat 9.4. I keep getting the error below every time I try using this feature. I don't have the same problem if use/switch the email client Mail from Apple. Just wondering if this is an Adobe issue or a Microsoft issue.
Thank you,

Yes at one time Acrobat only supported Entourage, a ver obscure program called Mailsmith, and Eudora, and Apple Mail. (Eudora was taken over by Mozilla Or rather the R&D for it was handed over to Mozilla.)
Yet most everyone on apple side of equation use ThunderBird, SeaMonkey, Even Opera. the message I receive is That Seamonkey or Thunderbird doesn't know how to talk to your email clent. Yet in their specifications Mozilla products show they are Mbox compliant.
On PC side they will talk to just about any Email except Mozilla Products. Its as if they put in features yet don't support software that can handle the features so most people are stuck un able to use the fetaures. Why can't Adobe get along with other software vendors. Is there Software Devopment staff so out of touch or have such a low skill set That they don't know how to write code but those name applications?
I put a Bug report for support of Mozilla Products for uears do it about once or twice a year for last 10 years or so. Goes in one ear and out the other.

Outlook delete attachment files if use POP3

Hi every body,
I have a problem with outlook. I send a mail with attachment using java mail api. Anyone get the mail correctly (gmail, outlook, outlook express or thunderbird) via SMTP.

Yes i was wrong. I use SMTP to sent mail, and POP3 to read it. Mail is shown with attachment in gmail but it is shown only body in outlook. If i open socket and sent mail via socket it is worked.
Now i search using this method with attachment. Does any body know that?

I can't open a jpg directly from an outlook email attachment.

I get an error stating "Photoshop CC.exe-Entry point not found".

Photoshop doesn't do anything special or different when a file is sent from an attachment. However, when you send an attachment from Outlook to Photoshop, that file is actually downloaded to your computer in a Temp folder before it is sent to Photoshop. Often times the permissions on this folder can be such that it prevents access. Other than that, all Outlook does is simply drop the file onto the Photoshop app file. The only thing that would involve Photoshop directly is if there are some damaged files involved with its connection to the rest of the system. If this is the case a reinstall would fix it. Otherwise, check the permissions on the Outlook temp folder (or at least the JPEG file it is trying to save).

Exchange 2013 / Outlook 2010+ Attachment size limit

I have an issue with my Exchange 2013 deployment. I am unable to send attachments over 10MB. I know, I know not another one of those threads, but I promise I have searched for a solution to my issue as best I can before posting.
So in the EMC I have set the Send/Receive connectors to unlimited, I have set the organizational limits to unlimited, I have even set both the Internal and ExternalDsnMaxMessageAttachSize
to 2047MB.
I have restarted the the Exchange Transport service, failing that I restarted the Exchange Box. I have closed and opened my Outlook Client Several times but when ever
I select an attachment over 10MB I get the message "The Attachment size exceed the allowable limit"
There must be something I am missing but I can't see it. I did also check my (and other) user accounts to confirm that no limits had somehow been set, they are all unconfigured or
blank in the EMC which my research has told means there is no limit on the account.
Now I know in in non exchange environment there are limits on the client, but attached to an exchange server these limits are supposed to be driven by exchange.
Here is the output of Get-TransportConfig

1. If you send a message larger than 10MB from an external client to your org, does it bounce back because its over the limit?
2. Do you see the same problem sending internally with OWA?

Outlook 2010 attachment size limit

We're using a sendmail server for our email and have been using Outlook 2003 for the client. I'm evaluating Outlook 2010 but we've hit a snag. Total attachments over ~20MB result in a "The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit".
This works fine under 2003.
How can I fix this?

Hi,
First, please let us know the email server you are using. Is it Exchange and what’s the version? Also, does this issue occur on all the client computers or only
one some of the computers?
As this issue might be related to some settings on the Exchange server side, you may also contact your network administrator to check the settings on the server side.
If there are no attachment limitation settings on the server side, we can troubleshoot the issue by the steps below:
Step 1: Disable background transfer of attachments to the Exchange server.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you
follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
1. Run regedit on the outlook client computer that has the issue.
2. Locate the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook]
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DisableBGSave
Data type: REG_DWORD

Note: You will see the Policies key if policies are deployed in your environment. If so, add the registry key under the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook]
4. Restart Outlook and test the issue again. Is the issue resolved? If the problem persists, let’s continue.
Step 2: Start Outlook in online mode/safe mode.
=============
1. In Outlook, click File > Info > Account settings > Account settings.
2. Click your Exchange account, and click the
Change button, then More settings,
Advanced tab. Uncheck Use cached Exchange mode.
3. Exit Outlook . Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
4. Press and hold the
CTRL key, and then click Microsoft Outlook.
Is the problem resolved? If not, let’s continue.
Step 3: Create a new Outlook profile.
=============
1.    Exit Outlook.
2.
Go to Start > Control Panel, click or double-click
Mail.
Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected, and whether a
32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
The easiest way to locate
Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the
Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In
Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the
Address box.
Note
The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select the profile
name, and then click Properties.
3.
Click Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
4.
Click Add.
5.
Type a name for the profile, and then click OK.
6.
Start Outlook, and choose this new profile.
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile, the old Outlook is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
Step 4: If it still not resolved, create a new Outlook profile on another PC that does not have this issue, then check to see if it persists. This can help us to narrow
down that if the issue is specific to the machines.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
you, please feel free to let me know.

Adobe X opens only Outlook when attaching as email?

Is there a way to make Adobe X use a person's default mail client instead of only Outlook? Our organization uses primarily Thunderbird. When viewing a PDF and choosing File > Attach to Email (or clicking the envelope toolbar button), Abobe X attempts to use Outlook, which is either not available on our clients' PCs, or not configured for email at all.
Thank you.

This possible has to do with a wrong MAPS setting in your OS.
You have to configure which app uses the mailTo protocol per default.

Outlook 2010 attachment previewer problem

Dear All,
I recently upgraded to the office 2010 beta, and have been quite pleased with the new system, until i tried to view an image that was attached to an email. I keep getting on any type of image or pdf that the previewer is not available ad to double click to open the file. I then get photo viewer telling me it can't open the file. So i saved the file to my desktop and try to open the jpg in any program such a photshop, illustrator or fireworks and it tells me there is an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found."
I can't open any files that are attached to emails, which is getting really annoying now. I have tried everything i can think of, running outlook as an admin, turning off image previewers, checking image previewers are enabled, i've tried the protection settings, and disabling it for Outlook.
Nothing will work. I've searched google and found a few solutions where they say this is caused by google desktop search causing problems and that uninstalling it solves the issue, however I don't have google desktop search installed, just google toolbar.
Its starting to drive me round the bend, i've even ran and repaired the pst file which didn't make any difference either.
Have reported it as a frown but not holding my breath for a response.
System:
Windows 7 64 bit
Office 2010 32 bit beta version
The laptop is 2 weeks old from Dell and all updates are applied.
Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks
Tom

I am having a problem which is a variation on the same theme. What is even more odd is that I have a laptop and desktop which I installed Outlook 2010 on and they behave very differently. On my laptop, I can easily view all doc and docx
attachments, while on my desktop, these very same attachments are not recognized or are considered as corrupt documents. I have been fiddling around with trusted locations on my desktop (e.g., trusting my server folders etc.) but so far no success -
even after reinstallation of 2010 on the desktop. My laptop's Outlook works fine without having to trust any particular location. I installed Outlook on my desktop after doing a fresh install of the XP OS while the Outlook installation was an upgrade
of Office 2007 with a fairly weather beaten XP registry. So currently, I see no rhyme or reason except that it appears that the 2010 installation is highly highly sensitive. Hopefully there is a quick fix to this or I might also have to roll back
to an earlier version of Outlook.
Had the same issue.
Here is the fix
Hello,
I finally found out what the issue is with this. It actually isn't a "Protected view" issue, but a DCOM issue.
Somehow the DCOM permission got changed, so it wouldn't allow certain applications access to simple things like Preview mode on Outlook 2010 / 2007, or opening up attachments without it saying file corrupt. I also was having an issue with Pop ups in
IE8, where javascript messages about security tokens were not authenticated.
The solution is as follows, and then you can turn on your protected mode back on in word, excel, and your "Preview mode" in outlook will start working again.
Go to start, then run. Type dcomcnfg and push o.k. Component Services should come up.
Expand Component Services, click on Computers, then "Right click" on My Computer and go to "properties".
Click on Default Properties tab, and make sure the following is set:
Default Authentication Level: Should say Connect, not "None"
And Default Impersonation Level: SHould say Identify.
When those are set properly, hit o.k and turn on your protected mode back on your Office applications. Everything works as expected :)
Cheers :)

Outlook 2010 attachment not received

Hi,
in a system with Windows Server 2008 and Outlook 2010 I'm facing this problem: mails are received always without attachment. The problem occours with both Exchange and simply POP/SMTP mail accounts.
I've already verify that mails are always sent with HTML format (no RTF).
The problem is appeared after last week updates.
Anyone has faced this problem or have some information about some issues with new updates?
Thank you!!

Hi,
Try to send and receive the emails via OWA and Webmail only, check if the attachments exist.
I have noticed some issues have occurred since the February 10, 2015 update for Outlook 2010 (KB2956128), but this symptom is the first time to be seen. To verify if your issue is related, uninstall this update temporarily to check the result.

Outlook Apple Attachment

Hi,
Everytime I send an e-mail from Outlook, the recipient receives unknown attachment with weird file name.
This is an example 454F7E5A-43C6-4CBB-9889-4A6D4D6B4C9C.x-apple-msg-attachment.
Has anyone had experience with this and know how to solve it?
Thanks,
Sandy

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

Saving outlook mail attachment

I was able to save pictures before in Outlook mail. Now somewhere along the line i can not print the content or save pictures. I have looked at different add-ons but none seem to say that they are for this problem. What do I need to do? or download to get my mail working again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
