Receiving attachments as jarbled text in body of email.

Is there a setting in the Mail preferences that deals with receiving attachments in the body of the email? I have been trying to send an xls. attachment to a Tiger based imac and they get the file as 200 lines of text instead of a file. Is there a setting in the computer that can remedy this?

Get rid of the smartform-based mail sending code if you can. That interface is quite old, simplistic, and inflexible (i.e., you can't do what you're asking). I would use class CL_BCS. It's especially much easier once you have developed a (custom) standard email wrapper class for sending various types of emails, including smartform-based PDF-attached emails. You can even go with HTML and dress-up your emails a bit.

Attachments show as text

It happened to me twice now that I got an email with attachments, I believe both times it was through my .mac account, which makes Mail painfully slow to begin with.
Anyway, it has this funky behavior of showing a message before the attachments are downloading, so you start seeing the attached content as it downloads, but if you switch to another message and then back to the message with attachments they end up being gone...it's all text.
In the last case it even "forgot" the sender's name and address in the header.
It just went blank.
Well, I guess that's called a bug, but I thought I post it here anyways...

My only reference to POP was to say that I do not receive many large attachments in my .mac account, and yes, I would NOT expect any problems with your POP accounts.
My statement about IMAP accounts was made because .mac accounts, set up as .mac type (you can use POP, but .mac is default when setting up) operate in the same way as IMAP accounts. IMAP access in Mail 2.0 is flawed, and with some IMAP servers, attachments, or at least large attachments, simply do not display, and we have found no setting or other change to correct.
I have not seen the same problem reported, previously, for a .mac account. I would like to know the number of messages in your .mac Inbox, and also what is the size reported for the messages where the attachments show as text?
I also would like you to test with selecting to NOT save messages and their attachments for Offline viewing -- there is no risk to messages, as they remain on the server, but it could be important to see if this makes any change to your situation.

Hi,
1.If you have any xsl code or java code please share .
You need Java (or ABAP), not parsing the input, creating xml.
2. my client is using dual stack abap/java.
Your desicion to use Java or ABAP. From my point of view ABAP is easier, but it depends or your experience.
3.please share the any udf for map the string to the target side?
An UDF is part of a Message Mapping. Does not work here.
4. i already developed the proxy code.
That s a good start

My husband and I both have iphones and both are linked to the app store and i cloud. Now my husband is receiving all of my text messages and has all my contacts. How can we get it to where he does not receive my messages anymore? Any help is appreciated!

Best way is to get your own Apple ID, but until then have him go to Settings > Message > Receive at and remove your phone number.

My husband and I are receiving each other's text messages how do I stop this?

If that is the problem, how do I change it so she has her own Apple account if she already activated her device? Is there a way to remove my account and make her a new one on the device itself if it was activated incorrectly:??

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

I have a Galaxy SIII and I stopped receiving visual notification for text messages. How do I correct it?

I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages. How do I correct it?

Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.
Thank You,

My father updated his iPhone and once he did that he would receive all of my texts and iMessages, is that because we are on the same iCloud account? And if that's why how can I remove it or make it so he doesn't get all my messages

you can change the accounts of different apps in the phone's settings menu.

Wife and I have an Iphone 4s, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send a text to her. I also do not receive any of her text messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

Both my wife and I have an IPhone 4s. All of a sudden, when I text her, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send the text. Also, I don’t receive any of her text messages. Though while testing and trying to troubleshoot, I have sent a text message from her phone to my phone and I do hear the text sound message go off on my phone but no text. Though I on my icon, I do see I have 1 new text message and as soon as I click on it, the text message will disappear if it’s from her. Now I have noticed when I call her the history also disappears now. I can call her and she can call me from the phone successfully. Just can’t receive any of her text message and no history is retrieve from my phone. Can anyone please help??? Just to share, I have hard booted both phones, deleted and re-added our contact information and in the ‘Message’ settings, we both have the message ‘on’, Send as SMS ‘on’, MMS Messaging ‘on’ and under the ‘send and Receive’ field, it has my number listed with a 1 and area code…1 (210) xxx-xxxx.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

You could create the new Apple ID for her and keep the existing one for you.
If you need/want to keep the same ID, perhaps this article will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

Windows users are not receiving attachments sent out of Mail

I am a consultant. I use Mail in Snow Leopard. Software is up to date.
Our business uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. All other consultants in the company are using Windows. In Mail I connect via IMAP. It has worked flawlessly until recently.
Recently, my corporate clients (various clients not related to one another nor using the same email server) have complained that they are not receiving my email attachments. It is not universal. It is inconsistent, even with the same client. Sometimes the attachments are there and sometimes not.
I have verified two things. 1) That the attachments are present in the emails in my outbox. 2) That the emails leave our server with the attachment (I accomplished this by contacting our Microsoft Exchange service provider and giving them examples, which they tracked down and verified that the emails left them with the attachments.).
Our service provider suggested that Mail is adding something to the email that is causing Outlook (the common denominator is that the clients receiving the emails are all on Outlook) to strip the attachment. Or, the antivirus is stripping it. Something about the Mail email is causing Outlook or some antivirus software to strip the attachments.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there something that can be done?
Right now I've had to go to Thunderbird in order for my attachments to be received. I'd rather stay with Mac all the way, but I cannot trust that my clients will receive attachments.
I'm hoping that when our company changes to MS Exchange Server 2007, that the problem will go away, since Mail can interface with the 2007 version directly. But, until then, I would really like to stick with Mail, if I can find a work around.
Thanks.
Matt

I am now having exactly the same problem. But here is a new wrinkle. ALL the persons having the problem you describe - that attachments are stripped off - are using cox.net as their e-mail provider. I am not saying that all cox.net mail users are having the problem, but those having the problem are among the cox.net e-mail users. None of my recipients using aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, verizon.net, zona.net, etc. are having any problems. Only some of the cox.net e-mail users.
I suspect but have not checked that they are all PC users (I use a Mac with Mail) and, now that I have become aware of this thread, I will check if they use Outlook.
It started a few months ago. I had no problems before and now this, with the same people. Obviously something must have changed but what?
Please let me know if you have found anything more about this - or even a solution? :-)
