PDF Attachments Removed from Mac Mail, show up in .Mac webmail

I have two clients that receive autogenerated PDFs from our ColdFusion server to their .Mac mail account. They had no problems receiving these attachment PDFs with Tiger, this problem is new with the Leopard 10.5+ operating system.
These e-mails have a little bit of text, a logo inline and a PDF attachment. In .Mac Webmail I see the image, the PDF attachment and all is well and good, strangely enough.
In the Mac Mail (v3.1) I see the text, the image and NO PDF attachment (it only says there is ONE attachment (the inline JPG), when in fact there are TWO. It seems that the PDF is being completely stripped from the message when received from .Mac's server. If I send the user a PDF from my MS Outlook, or any other e-mail client, it's received fine.
Anyone have a similar issue, and have you found a fix? Or any ideas where I can troubleshoot from here?
I'm stumped.

The thread here discusses the same issue, and the Command Y hack worked for me. There's got to be a better way.

  • When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

    when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
    mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

    It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

  • Convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011

    Hello, 
    need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?
    thanks.

    Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)
    add account to Apple mail and Outlook 2011
    Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails
    are there.
    There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail
    that you want to convert and your mails are transferred within no time.

  • Why won't attachments sent from Mac Mail show up for an Outlook Express recipient?

    I use Mac Mail on a MacBook Pro. When I attach image files to an email message, a recipient using Windows Outlook Express can't receive the attachments as attachments; they're just embedded in the message. What can I do to ensure that attachments go through as attachments?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's been a lot of discussion on this.  Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments.  When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case. 
    There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want.  I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
    One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

  • PDF attachments forwarded from iPhone arrive as text

    I receive an email on my iPhone with a PDF attachment I can view the PDF and it is fine. If I forward that email internally (within our mail domain) it is fine. However, when I forward the email to an external address the PDF arrives as text instead of as an attachment. Sample below:
    --Apple-Mail-4--1051191225
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Type: text/html;
    charset=f-8
    PGh0bWwPGJvZHkgYmdjb2xvcj0iI0ZGRkZGRiIPGRpdj5Gb3IgeW91PGJyPjxicj4tIE5laWw8
    L2Rpdj48ZGl2Pjxicj5CZWdpbiBmb3J3YXJkZWQgbWVzc2FnZTo8YnI+PGJyPjwvZGl2PjxibG9j
    a3F1b3RlIHR5cGU9ImNpdGUiPjxkaXYPGI+RnJvbTo8L2IICJNYXR0aGV3IENvb2siICZsdDs8 etc etc
    Any advice as to why this might be happening and how to fix it?

    I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but it sounds very similar.
    I've notice when I attach PDFs I've either created from a scan or from Print -> PDF -> Save to PDF, if the file size is within a certain limit, it shows a preview (linked to the program Preview, maybe?) image of that PDF in the Mail Message window, rather than the icon. I can right-click on the image and choose "View as icon" which... does the obvious. But if I try to print that Mail message, it prints the PDF preview instead of the icon.
    Recipients using Mac's Mail program also see the preview image rather than the icon when they open the message.
    I've gone through the Preference options and every other menu up there, and I can't for the life of me find a way to turn off this preview image. Any ideas? Am I missing something?
    The same small PDFs also display in Finder with an icon that is a miniaturized image of the preview image. Can I turn off the option to save a preview of these documents/files?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Mac Mail showing 2 signatures

    Hi there. I am running Mac Mail with 3 e-mail addresses and 3 signatures. 1 is a 123-reg address, one Yahoo and one is G-Mail.
    My default mail account is a 123-reg address, but when I select to send from a DIFFERENT email address (either G-Mail or Yahoo), it is showing my 123-reg related signature ABOVE the desired custom signature for the selected e-mail address.
    I have checked the signature settings and everything looks correct. Everything worked fine on my 13" MacBook Pro (Lion) but since upgrading last week to a 15" retina with Mountain Lion, I am getting this issue. Any ideas on how to solve would be greatly appreciated, as I have tried checking the forum and Google yet cannot find anyone else with the same issue...
    Apologies if I have listed this question in the wrong community - first post.

    Hi mugearsuk
    Did you resolve this issue?
    My signatures were working perfectly until a microsoft exchange account was added to my email addresses and now if I change the email address I want to send from the new signature comes in under the previous one.
    Frustrated!!!
    I hope you solved this and can offer any insight.

  • Mac mail shows the wrong name in the inbox

    Mac mail is showing the wrong name for one sender in the inbox. It is correct in the preview pane and when opened.
    Is also correct on ipad and iphone. Only wrong in mac mail. This occurred when the person changed their name.
    Have already deleted that user from the previous emailed contacts. Have started in Safe mode to clear caches.
    System is a macbook air with Mavericks 10.9.4
    Thanks in advanced for any help with this.

    What next?
    I'd check with the senders whom you receive mail from to be sure they have your name correctly entered in the address book for whatever mail client they're using; I'm guessing the problem is on their end, since we've eliminated the possibilites on your end: Address Book and the Previous Recipients list. Those are the only two places Mail could draw that information from, unless it's in the original message sent to you, which you can confirm by opening a message, then choosing View > Raw Source. Look for the To: field and if the name doesn't match yours, then you know the problem is on the sender's end, in which case you should tell them to correct your name in their email address book.
    Can I clear out the email account completely and start again.
    You could, but that won't solve the problem. That name is coming from somewhere external to Mail (since Mail doesn't keep any such information), so it's just a matter of finding the source correcting it.

  • Problem with PDF attachments on Leopard's mail.

    I just found a bug or something in Leoprd's mail . When I try to send a mail with PDF attachments, mail just stuck, nothing happen. The fan start to spin and mail grab all of the processors power nearly 100 %. What's weird, there aren't problem with sending other attachment like JPG for example. I tested it on all of my accounts and on all of them, situation is exactly the same.

    The same problem here! Mail.app is behaving weirdly, but eventually it stopped sending e-mail with some filetypes attachments (.doc, .xls, .pdf not working, .jpg working), app just freezes - impossible to quit! HEEEELP!!!

  • Since switching from Chrome, I can't print .pdf attachments directly from my gmail. Please help.

    It used to be (in Chrome) that I could view a .pdf attachment in gmail and from there print. Now in Firefox, when I view a .pdf attachment the print option is there and the print dialogue box comes up when I click it, but once I hit "OK" nothing comes out of the printer. I can print emails and other items, so it's not a printer connectivity problem or a problem with the print setup in Firefox. The only items affected are .pdf attachments in my gmail account. I've tried switching .pdf readers and turning off Protected Mode in Adobe. Please help!

    What PDF reader r u use and what version is it?

  • Remove from Project not showing

    I am trying to remove some duplicate controls from a project - more specifically a class.  Problem is the remove from project does not show up.  Anyone seen this?

    Hi rammer
    Is the protection for the class set to public?
    If you right-click on the class and select properties then you can see protection level. Also check that you have public permission under item settings for the individual items.
    Also can you remove the class from the project and try to add the class again to see if this changes the behavior?
    Regards
