Problem When Forwarding Email Attachments / Email With Attachments

I posted a response in a related thread that describes my problem, but have found no solution so I thought I should create a new thread and solicit direct advice for this issue.
I sync 2 (sometimes 3) Yahoo Email accounts to my iPhone 4. Due to firewall issues at work accessing 'personal email', I often email myself files as attachments, then forward them to others using my iPhone. Having recently upgraded from iPhone 3G to 4, now when I forward an email with attachments, the attachments get zapped to 0B and effectively do not forward. It may show an icon or have the file, but it's an empty file. I always select "Include Attachments" when it asks, but the functionality is not working the way it is supposed to.
I've tried forwarding .xls .doc and .zip files so far. Even a small 180kB file won't forward.
The only exception seems to be if I click the attachment, let it fully download, then forward the email. That works for 'standard' types of files, but I didnt have to do this step in the previous iOS, so I am wondering - Is that normal now?
What about other types of files besides office and adobe? If the iPhone doesn't have support for me to view the file on my phone, I can't "download" it before forwarding. Example is a zip file. It shows as a "?" in my email, so I cant download it, so when I forward it it kills the attachment.
Regardless what the phone supports to view, if I just want to forward an email from the server along to someone else, it should have the freakin' attachments! This doesn't seem to be the case for all situations though.
Would seriously appreciate a confirmation others have this issue (go ahead, try to send yourself a zip file and then just forward it back to your PC) and any solutions that might explain how to correct this problem. Maybe there's a server setting or another way of setting up the email accounts that would fix it.
Thanks all

Being able to forward as an attachment would be such a useful feature. Forward as in-line text works but this is no good if you want to retain the original email headers or smime content.
One prime example is the use of SpamCop.net where you need to be able to send the original mail (including headers) for SPAM processing. Forward as attachment is the easiest way to do this.
Come on Apple, please help us, without the "Forward as Attachment" it make it difficult for us to quickly report SPAM or forward documents. Can it really be that hard to implement?

  • Encoding problem when forwarding mails with attachments using exchange account

    Hi,
    I'm facing a special misbehaviour of mail. Scenario: With Apple Mail 7.2 I would like to forward an exchange mail with attachments. The mail is wirtten in german and uses german special characters like äüöÄÖÜ. During editing the mail everything is ok which means all characters are shown in thte correct way. When I send the mail, something magic must happen in the background.
    When I look in the sent mail folder and open the mail, all special characters are show as "?". Must be an encoding problem, I gues but I don't know how to fix it.
    When I send exactly the same mail with another Apple mail account (non exchange), there is no problem. So I assume it has something to do with handling exchange accounts under Apple mail.
    Any idea to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

    This is a know issue with Yahoo! Email on the iPhone. When sending email, sometimes it will say it has been sent, while it really has not (and it will not show up in the sent folder).
    It has been discussed quite a bit in the forums, so a search will turn up a lot of discussion, but no solid solution. Some say Yahoo is working on a fix, other that Apple is.
    The most common solution (which is usually temporary), is to either reboot your phone, and/or delete and reinstall your Yahoo! Mail account on your phone.

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

  • Problems when I resend an email with attachments

    I am using Mail 7,0 with Mavericks.
    I am having problems resending emails. If I resend any email wihout any attached file, the receiver does not have any problem and and he gets the body text and all the chained mails in the proper order and format. However, when I resend an email with one or more attached files, then I am having a lot of problems because the receiver everything scrambled!!, the body text is received as an attachment and all the images or logos included in my signautre are also received as an attachment.
    I did not have this problem in the past. I have bee exploring Mail Preferences and have tried several different things, but I have been able of solving this disgussting problem.
    I would thank very much if someone has had the same problem and can help me to solve the problem.
    Thank you!!!
    José Ignacio

    What are the types that won't open?
    Do you have an App that can open those types of files?

  • I receive an email from Outlook with attachments but when I forward it the attachments are lost.

    One particular person sends attachments which I can open fine but I can't forward them unless I store them and re-attach. The attachments have "size unknown" label in the email.
    A friend of mine who get the same emails from the same sender doesn't get the attachments at all. Her ISP gives "images blocked for your protection".
    Can the sender do anything to fix this? All other mail and attachment work fine.

    RTF = Microsoft proprietary and has no place in email. Email is HTML and Text.
    Contact the sender and ask them to disable any RTF in their mail and point them to this http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat-attachment-HA010153018.aspx..
    The best solution is don't use Outlook.

  • Web Service with attachments (SOAP with attachments) without PI

    Hi,
    Is it possible to send across file(say PDF) using ABAP web services. I know it can be done with Java using SOAP with attachments. Is something similar available for ABAP ? since if we transfer raw binary data as type string / xstring it may have a performance impact.
    I could not see any option for attachments when using web service wizard from SE37 / soamanager
    Note I am not using PI, this Web service would be consumed by a 3rd party tool. There is very little material available on transferring files using web service with SOAP attachments.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    Hi thanks for your input, but did you have to encode your binary data stream in say Base64 / utf-8 ? Also if you are transferring files in bulk(say 10 -100 files)  how does your web  service indicate end of one file or what is the best way so as to avoid performance problems.
    Regards,
    Aditya

  • Problem when creating a sales order with reference by BAPI

    I am facing one problem when creating Sales Order.
    <b>The scenario is like this while creating SO With reference to an Order type, a new SO will be automatically created with a diff order Type</b>.
    I am using "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2".
    I am calling this BAPI in USEREXIT_REFRESH_DOCUMENT.
    Am I using the right exit to call this Bapi ?
    <b>Problems are like :
    1. Ref Sales Order creating without Sales Unit .
    2. "Object Status does not exist" error msg is coming for Header and Item level(when clicking the status tab and then object status pushbutton).</b> But if testing the bapi from SE37 in test sequence....no such problem persists.
    As for example in case of sales unit,in the debugging mode i have seen that BAPI uses a perform to fill the values in the VBAP structure.But after that when it come back to the main program VBAP remains blank.This ocuurs when the BAPI is called from the exit whereas  if tested from SE37, VBAP retains the value.
    Can u suggest in this ? This is very very urgent............
    Thx in Adv.........................

    Thanks........
    Your suggestion was a great help to me.I have used a custom FM and called it in <b>starting new task</b>.
    Since i am a university fresher working in SAP for nearly 1 year.....can you please explain me the difference between <b>in update task</b> and <b>starting new task</b>.Why the problem was occuring for which you have suggested to call a custom function module.
    what is V1 update and V2 update?Is it attached with asynchronous ans synchronous update.It would be a great help to me if you kindly clear my confusions....
    thanks in advance.

  • Oracle 9i Problem when using multicolumn bulk update with "save exceptions"

    I'm running into a problem with Oracle 9i when running a multicolumn update with "save exceptions". The problem occurs when updating 4 or more fileds. (The data being updated are 40 character text strings)
    I'm updating 1000 records at a time, in bulk.
    The problem goes away when I don't use "save exception" (i.e. catch the exception the normal "pre-Oracle 9i" way) or when I use "save exception" with 3 or fewer fields.
    (I don't get any exceptions when running without the "save exception")
    Thanks

    The problem is an ORA-14403 error detected during bulk updates only when "save exception" is used with more than 3 fields being updated.
    Remove the "save exception" I can update any number of fields.
    or
    Reduce the number of fields being updated to 3 or less and use save exceptions and the 14403 error goes away.
    (I'd like to use "save exception" without having to break the "update" into two separate 3 field updates.)
    Thanks,

  • Is anyone else having a problem when sending the first email of the day from iCloud?

    For the past week I startup my iMac and send an email via my iCloud account. I finish typing it out, it says the whole time that it is saving the message. I hit send, the task bar comes up and shows that the meessage has been sent. I look in the 'sent' box and nothing! It didn't send and there is no trace of it in the 'outbox' or junk or drafts, not sure if it something that iCloud has had fixed in the 'Drafts' section but my very first email is lost to cyberspace every morning.
    Very irritating when you have just typed a huge email and forgot to copy it to the clipboard (in case) it dissapears. Just happened asgain so I thought I'd post it here and see who else is experiencing it.
    Any help would be

    Anyone?  I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'...  but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me.  I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it.  But still having the same issue. 

  • N8 - Strange problem when adding an OVI email acco...

    Hi there.
    When adding my GFs OVI email account to her N8 I start the installer which directs me to a page where I can sign up or login.
    I choose login as she's already setup an account. The login succeeds and we get the "readying inbox" or a similar message. Then the browser seems to get stuck at reloading a link and finally gives me an error saying the login name or password was incorrect.
    Login in on a PC works great.
    I didn't have this problem on my N8 but then again I was using email.nokia.com since my previous E52.
    Any one have a clue?
    Thanks.
