Re: Mail & attachments sent to PC's

Use the "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" option when you're sending the email to PC clients.

Redirect was a nice idea, but the pages still arrive as a bunch of attachments...maybe its a setting in outlook (all the PC's use outlook) ?

Mail Attachments sent to Nokia Communicators

I regularly send mail to a client who picks them up on his Nokia Communicator, the message is copied to his PC. His Communicator receives the mail but never the attachment, the heading on the Communicator mail inbox say an attachment is there, but when the mail is opened, no attachment.
It is irrelevant which attachment is sent, from Word to pdf files nothing :-/ We both have the latest everything so that is not a problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience or has any ideas of solutions?

What kinds of attachments are these? You must have an application that can open the attachments.

E mail attachments missing

I have an iMac - late 2009 running 10.9.5 OS. I am having trouble opening e mail attachments sent from one very important contact. He is on an office server running microsoft e mail program. I can not even see the attachments on his e mails. I am using TNEF's Enough to open the attachment and nothing appears as an attachment in the pop up window. Any suggestions of settings (or something else) that can overcome this problem?

I have the same problem. Things worked fine for a while. I was able to see the body of the email plus the attachment. Even was able to open PDFs in iBooks. Now I only see the "Preview". I clock the particular email and I get a blank page with a header... plus no ability to see the attachment. This needs to be addressed in an update.
How did you reset your phone? Did you lose any content in the process?
Thanks

Trouble openning e-mail attachments taken and sent by cell phone cameras

I am able to preview Pdf attachments sent to me by e-mail that was taken with cameras but is unable to open those documents; can anyone help with that?

Hi fyzabad,
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader are you using.
Could you clarify what you mean by saying sent by 'cell phone cameras'?
You might have received an email with PDF files attached to it.
Please save them first and then try to open with Reader.
Let me know then what happens.
Regards,
Anubha

Hi, We have a problem opening email attachments, specifically word, when the mail is sent from an Entourage client.

It seems the mail is sent in plain text and when I try to open the attachment on my phone i just get a screen with the document name and type. If I send a plain text mail from my outlook client with the same attachment then this works fine.
Is there anything I can do to make these attachments open on my iPhone?
Thanks in advance
Phil

Mail attachments not saving to the folder I choose

My mail attachments are not saving to the folder I choose. When I select a file to save in the mail drop-down box, I am given options to save to a folder of my choice. However, when I select save the document is actually saved deep in some Mail Downloads area, not in my chosen folder. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

Sending Mail attachments to windows users

When sending Mail attachments (Jpegs) to windows PCs they arrive embedded in the message body, not as an attachment that can be saved. Can I, or the recipient, do anything to rectify this?

From Mail Help:
If Windows users have trouble with your attachments
Windows users might not be able to read attachments you send, the messages they’re attached to, or both; or they might see two files when you’ve sent only one.
Try these solutions:
Choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
Choose Edit > Attachments > “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message” to automatically have attachments inserted at the end of a message. Otherwise, some Windows recipients might not easily see all of your message because parts of it are put into attachments, which they have to open to read.
Use filename extensions, such as .doc for a Microsoft Word document, in the names of files you send to Windows recipients. This way, the files can be read by a Windows application.
If you send a file (for example, “MyFile”) to someone who uses a Windows computer, the recipient might see two files: “MyFile” and “._MyFile.” The recipient can ignore the file named “._MyFile.”
If you have a New Message window open, the Edit > Attachments commands don’t contain “Always” and they apply only to the message you’re currently composing.
If you haven’t set the default, click Attach in the toolbar of the New Message window and select the Send Windows Friendly Attachments checkbox.

How to access Mail-Attachments in XI 3.0?

Hello everyone,
We have a scenario, where a Mail with attached Files (text, pdf) is sent to the XI. I would like to write a module which accesses the Mail-Attachments, retrieves their content and appends the Base64-encoded content to the payload. I've tried several things, took inspiration from existing Module-Beans, but i never really came to the point that i have the attachment-name and content to do the Encoding.
Could anyone give me a hint what is a proper way to achieve this?
Or is there probably a more elegant method to access Mail attachments within XI (3.0)?
Thank you,
Magnus

This is an example for getting the file name of the attachment:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
To read the attachment, you just use replace getDocument by getAttachment or getAttchmentIterator
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/com/sap/engine/interfaces/messaging/api/Message.html
Check the source of the sample module to see how it works.

Mac mail attachments not searchable in gmail webmail

Attachments sent for my Mountain Lion Mail.app (using my gmail account) are not searchable from the web gmail.com when I use advanced search options like "has:attachment".
However, emails with attachments sent from web gmail.com are searchable. For some reason gmail does not recognized the mac mail sent email attachments as attachments even though the paper clip is there.
For instance. I can search my sent folder, find the email and clearly see the attachment (and paper clip) are there. However if I do a search just as "to:[email protected] has:attachment" it only show emails that originated from web gmail.com
Any suggestions?

Mail attachments in leopard do not open correctly

I have noticed my mail attachments on my macbook do not open correctly. When I get attachments in mail on my IMac using, Tiger they appear directly under the e-mail. Even quicktime apps. On my macbook, which is using leopard, they usually are in the form of am attachment you must click on which in turn opens another window. Today I got a Merry Christmas wave sent to me. It works fine on my IMac. It is a mime file. On my macbook it doesn't do anything. It just says Merry Christmas. No wave, no turning into Santa, nothing! They are both there in the same spot, (no attachment to click on in the macbook) all my mail preferences are identical, but it doesn't work. Can anyone please tell me why? I am still new to a mac and frustrated. Thanks

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Icloud is corrupting incoming mail attachments

For the past week or so email attachments sent to me at my .me or .icloud email address is being corrupted. This includes .xls .pdf .doc .jog and .ppt files. I am using Outlook 2013 but don't think it is the culprit...uninstalled and reloaded it. Doesn't help to detach files. Have unistalled and reloaded latest icloud control panel...no luck. Doesn't seem to corrupt very small files. I need some advice please.

macinchat's solution worked for me on this thread: Outlook 2013 - corrupted attachments from .me account
(Set incoming server to p03-imap.mail.me.com (port 993) (instead of just mail.me.com) )

Have a problem opening e-mail attachments

Hi,
i'm having a problem with opening e-mail attachments. I received an e-mail from a friend, and it had the little paper clip on it. (I believe she was sending an article. But she also sent me a photo in a separate e-mail, neither worked). But I could not figure out how to open it. I tried putting my cursor over it, but it seems that there was no way to open it. There was no way of opening it, it just had that icon, and nothing else. Why am I not able to access it? (I should point out that she has a PC. I dunno whether or not that makes a difference but I thought I'd throw that in there). Any assistance you can give me on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried saving the attachment to your hard disk and then opening it?
If there's an attachment, near the top right of the message window should be the option to save it. Click on 'save' and then try to open the file in the location you saved it to.

E-mail Attachments wont download

Hi,
I am hoping this has been covered somewhere or someone may have experienced The same issue. I received my Z10 in April this year and generally find it ok, no where near 100 % happy but ok. The main source of my frustration is The inability to open e-mail attachments regardless of size or doc type. The attachment goes to about 2/3rds and then stops and will not download any further. The problem is I cannot send it to another device to open as it has not downloaded in The first place. Of course not an issue if I am in The office but a right pain when I am out in The field and have been sent documents which I cannot download or open.
Any constructive help would be very much appreciated
Cheryl

Meaning if you use the "tap and hold down on the attachment" you are not getting the "Open In" option? Or should we just keep guessing about what might be happening?
If that is what is happening, deom the home screen .... quit the mail app completely in the recent tray by double tapping the home button to bring up the recents tray - and then tap and hold down on the mail app icon in the recent tray until it wiggles, then tap the red minus sign to quit the app. Restart the iPad and then try the "tap and hold down" on an attachment again.
If you mean that something else is wrong or happening - share the information.
