Sending attachments from desktop

Is there any way to send a document as an attachment right from the desktop? So, for instance, you're in a folder on a document and you want to send it as an attachment. Can one add a "send as attchment" option in the ctrl-click menu, or is there another way?
I have looked at automater, but it seems to only work for a specific file, and not as a general rule.
Any thoughts?

Does your Automator workflow work when the first action is "Get Selected Finder Items"?
Edited: yes it does:
Action 1: Get Selected Finder Items (Finder)
Action 2: New Mail Message (Mail)

Just upload the document from the desktop and attach it to your e-mail. There are thousands of posts on this forum about sending e-mails and document attchments - what exactly are you stuck on? Is it getting the the path to the Desktop without the user picking the location? Why is that difficult?

Problem sending mail from desktop

Hi
I am currently not able to send mail from my desktop. Works fine via web though. The message I get after a period of Mail trying to send message is the following
"The connection to the server 'smtp.mac.com' on port 25 timed out"
If I then run Connection Doctor, the further information I receive is
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences".
Any help most welcome.
Thanks

J - Let me describe the issue I had before describing my work-around:
I started getting the message "Could not connect to this SMTP server" only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, and then only when I was trying to send attachments larger than about 50KB. I'm in a rural area, and only have dial-up. I was able to send text messages, and could receive emails with text and attachments, regardless of size.
I believe that it is a Leopard issue in my case. Perhaps not in yours. Certainly you'll want to verify that something hasn't changed in your outgoing SMTP server settings....maybe contact your ISP to verify that they haven't made any changes.
However, if your problem does seem similar to mine, and if you're about to pull your hair out, like I was, you may wish to try what I've done to address this problem:
I have found two work-arounds...both are cumbersome, and I don't believe either is acceptable, but they do work for me. 1) Send mail from your ISP's webmail facility (or gmail, for example) or, 2) I have made a new partition on my disk on which I (re)installed Tiger. (I didn't have the "Could not connect..." issue with Tiger) I can drag attachments or other info into the Tiger partition from my Leopard disk, then restart in the Tiger disk. From Tiger, I can compose and send email from Tiger's Mail app. Good luck! Bill

How to send attachments from specific mail account?

Our iPad has three e-mail accounts set up and any time we want to send an attachment, iPad 2 defaults to the first account on the list (AOL).
I've searched on-line but can't seem to find a way to get iPad to send the specified attachment from the account I specify. Is it possible?
Thanks.

It sure would have been great if you could just select the email account from which to send it from at dropdown or something at the time you send it. But this works well enough.
You CAN do that as well. I though that you wanted to change the deafult account.
The next time that you want to send an email with an attachment - after you have the email up on the screen - tap on your email address in the Cc/Bcc/From: heading - the email headers will expand to show Cc and Bcc as individual spaces. Then tap on your email address and all of your email address will appear in a pop up window. Select the address that you want to send the email from.

Send attachments from finder via Outlook 2011 for Mac

I am trying to right click attachments in finder and choose send by mail. Unfortunately only mac mail comes up and I need to use outlook 2011. Its installed and chosen as default in both outlook settings and mail settings.
Can drag attachments to outlook icon but would be easy to have right click option.
Auto optimize size of attachments like outlook for windows did would also be helpful for large file sizes.

I believe this article should resolve this problem for you:
Create a Service to attach files to a new Outlook for Mac mail message
Also, you should be able to drag/drop a file from the Finder onto the Outlook icon on the Dock.

Major problems sending attachments from Mail

G'day all,
I frequently have to email colleagues at work from my Mac at home. They all use MS Outlook to view emails.
Whenever I send just an an email (text only) everything comes out fine, my signature etc.
However when i send ANY attachment, e.g .xls .doc or .jpg or any other type the person receiving does not get a regular looking email.
They get 4 files along the top of the page, AT00001.htm, AT00002.htm, the file I sent .xls and one called mylogo.jpg (this is just a little image in my signature).
The "main body" of the email remains empty.
I do tick the 'Windows Friendly box " when sending.
This has been going on for a while apparantly but I was never told.
Any ideas how to overcome this issue as it does look very un-professional when i send emails.
Remember, they are perfect without attachments.

I am having the same sort of issue. I use to be able to attach icon documents in my e-mails. Now attachments are coming up as large documents embedded at the end of the e-mail. I then went to the corner of the e-mail and brought the document down to small size. I just need to attache an icon of the document, not the full document. How do I get this back.

Sending Attachments from GW-POA to engine fails..

GroupWise Version: 8.0.2 Hotpatch 3
DataSynchronizer: 1.2.5 Build 299
Blackberry Enterprise Server: 10.1
Device: Blackberry Q5
Hey guys!
Since setting up a BES10 for Blackberrys new devices, we are experiencing an odd problem:
Synchronizing mails between GW and the Q5 works just perfectly, until attachments (of any sort: .pdf's, .doc or .xls) get bigger than ~50kB. The Mail is shown at the Q5, but its attachment is broken..
We also checked both, max. file-size of the mobility-connector and the gw-connector (both bigger than 500kB).
We think the problem is located at the gw-connector, as the logs say this:

Having trouble sending attachments from my imac thru gmail seems to like safari better i dont like safai would rather use firefox what do i do?

Hello!
I much prefer Firefox to safari! I have an imac and I also use gmail. I tried to send an attachment document from my computer while I was in Firefox from Gmail. It would not do it and I could not close gmail nor close Firefox to try to start over. Tried this 2x. Force Quit and everything. I then started up in Safari and all went well. Is Firefox somehow less compatible with Google and gmail and Apple then Safari? I am assuming Apple and Google are separate companies but sometimes one wonders?? So what can I do to make a smooth attachment from my Imac to gmail attachment in Firefox? I really prefer Firefox it loads better and less spinning wheel. I think a lot of people agree with me. Please help!! We must have alternatives to Safari and Firefox is the best as far as I know...

Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Emails Sending Externally from Desktop

Just set up my blackberry with my office outlook. Here's my problem:

2. Outlook on my desktop - can receive emails, can send emails to my staff internally
3. PROBELM "CAN NOT" send externally - keep getting an error message....see below:

How do send attachments from email

I am new at this can anyone help me step by step easier to follow that way

Hi bobby40272,
You can follow these steps to send an attachment to your printer:
1. Open your email client and compose a new message.
2. Attach the file you want to send.
3. Make sure you have text in both the subject line and the body of your email.
4. Enter the ePrint address for your printer in the To: field (also, make sure this is the only address the email is being sent to), and send the email.
The email should print momentarily at your printer. You can also check the status of your print job under the "Recent Print Jobs" section at http://www.eprintcenter.com.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

All of a sudden my computer stopped sending attachments from my gmail account and another mail account. When I try to attach a document the email account starts to reload

How do I fix this problem?

1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

Attachments from Workflow to ABAP Webdynpro launched from UWL

Hi All,
You might have seen a recent post from me for sending attachments from ABAP Webdynpro to Workflow.
I could do that by just calling SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I didnt have to create an instance of the SOFM object
by passing the ATT_ID from this function module.
Now the next task of the workflow which is sent to UWL, automatically carries the attachements in the Workitem.
I didnt do binding from workflow container to Task container. (I dont know how!!)
But I need to get those attachments on my ABAP Webdynpro after it is launched from UWL.
For this I am using SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHEMENTS. But this FM is giving me the BOR reference.
How do use this to get the attachments displayed on my Webdynpro as links?
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debabra,
I have similar requirement where I want to add new attachment from Webdynpro abap to workflow and again next level want to view it in UWL in another Webdynpro abap from workflow.
I am trying to attach the document from Webdynpro to Workflow I used FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and looks like it attached in workflow.
Can you please tell how the second part was solved where I want to attach document from workflow to Webdynpro abap
Thanks,
ST

Sending attachments of ME43(RFQ) tcode in mail

Hi All,
We have developed a SmartForm for RFQ and the same we are converting into PDF and sending in a mail as an attachment. Now, user has came up with new requirement, that is, they will attach documents directly in ME42/ME43 tcode using 'Services for Object' which is available as a button in left hand top corner, just above application tool bar. And that attached files along with our RFQ SmartForm should be sent in a same mail as an attachments.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Aravinth

Hi All,
Finally I got a solution for my requirement , same I am mentioning below,
Table SRGBTBREL is having a list of attachments which we are attaching through Services for Object in all transactions (In my case, ME43 for RFQ).
So I am passing the below values to the fields of table SRGBTBREL,
RELTYPE      =      'ATTA'
INSTID_A       =      LV_EBELN
TYPEID_A     =      'BUS2010'
CATID_A       =      'BO'.
and I am getting some hexa value from field INSTID_B.
And this value I am passing to a function module called SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1, and getting output in DOCUMENT_DATA and OBJECT_CONTENT.
DOCUMENT_DATA - Will have name of attachments, size and other details
OBJECT_CONTENT - Will have a Binary data of attachment
and after getting these information, I am calling a method ADD_ATTACHMENT of class CL_DOCUMENT_BCS , refer a below code
             LV_SUBJECT = WA_DOCDATA-OBJ_DESCR.
             LV_FILESIZE = WA_DOCDATA-DOC_SIZE.
             CALL METHOD LCL_DOCUMENT->ADD_ATTACHMENT
               EXPORTING
                 I_ATTACHMENT_TYPE    = WA_DOCDATA-OBJ_TYPE
                 I_ATTACHMENT_SIZE    = LV_FILESIZE
                 I_ATTACHMENT_SUBJECT = LV_SUBJECT
                 I_ATT_CONTENT_TEXT   = IT_OBJCONT[].
after calling this method, all attachment which is present in Services for objects will be attached to a mail and then, adding sender and recipients mail ids, I am using a SEND method of class CL_BCS to send mail with attachments.
I referred the below link,
How to send Attachments from Services for Object in Email attachments
Thank you Gokul, for giving me some hint.
Regards,
Aravinth
