Sending jpg attachments in Mail to Windows 8

When I send a jpg attachment from my iMac 10.9.4 to a Windows 8 laptop the recipient sees only a square with an X in it. Is there something I need to do that will make it possible for them to see the jpg?

Make sure you send Windows-friendly attachments. To do so for all messages, from the main Mail window choose Edit > Attachments, then make sure Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments is selected. For a specific message, click the Attach button in the toolbar of the message window, then make sure Send Windows-Friendly Attachments is selected.
Also use filename extensions (such as document.jpg).
If the recipient sees two attachments (such as “MyFile” and “._MyFile”), the file with the underscore (such as “._MyFile”) can be ignored.

Sending photo attachments from Mail to Gmail

I've been sending photo attachments via Mail for years and haven't had trouble until recently. Now I'm getting complaints from Gmail users that the attachments come through as embedded files. I guess on the Gmail end, they don't see it listed out as an attachment, but as part of the mail body. What's going on here?
I attach files same as I always have - by clicking on "attach", then selecting the file(s) I want to attach. I always leave "send windows friendly attachments" selected (although in an experiment, I tried sending it without clicking that, and the images came over all stretched out and shrunken in a very strange way).
I can't think of what would be happening, but I'm assuming it's something in either the way Mail or Gmail is treating the photos - and I'd like to have them come through as attachments, rather than embed files (I'm a photographer and have heard from some of my clients that the embed is a pain - they have to "save as" right click on each image rather than just select "save attachments" or something).
Any ideas??

Send to these recipients using only Plain Text, and all should be well. To test choose a message you previously sent from the Sent mailbox, open, click on Message in the menubar, choose Send Again, then click on Format and choose Make Plain Text.
Rich Text as received by those using Outlook or Outlook Express, as two examples, will see the RTF as HTML, and the attachments will appear embedded -- although they are not.

How to send JPG images in MAIL?

I'm having a problem in sending JPG files in MAIL. Nobody can open de files i send. Need Help.
Tanks.

Makes sure extensions are fully apparent, checks the form of preview that may have been created on the Mac for its use. Two support documents are linked below, and the one for earlier version of Mail is still useful:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/9965.html
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9965.html
If you were sending to someone using a really old version Mac OS, it might be a hinderance, btw.
The issues that can arise from use of Rich Text Format are separate issues, and relate to MS and AOL not processing RTF from other systems.

OSX Mail - Sending JPG Attachments

I am having issues sending emails with JPGs attached. For some reason, they are being attached in-line and people are unable to download the attachments. Why is this?

The easiest to send jpg are to drag the image to the destop, then attach the iimage to a PDF, via Adobe, or pages. Select print, then select the image, and choose.
Most people use Adobe, and check windows friendly attachmennts.

Sending jpg attachments to AOL subscribers

HI all!
I'm consistently unable to send jpg pictures as attachments to friends with @aol.com email addresses. They tell me that the picture numbers come through but no picture. When I send the attachments (and verify in the "sent" box), the picture are definitely attached to the email. Friends not with AOL get things no problem.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Allan, I hope toy don't mind me cc'ing a post I put up earliet - but saw this and could see that the problem is related: "This problem is going to really mess up my recent migration to Macintosh. I prepare a lot of documents in Word and Excel and am careful to append them with .doc and .xls before emailing them to clients and colleagues - all of who are Windows users. One colleague - a senior who calls the shots uses an AOL account and email. I have never had a problem sending .doc and .xls attachments to him but he is now saying that the .doc's and some of the .xls's are arriving as un-open-able .bin files. This is a real bugger. I have tried the 'send Windows friendly attachment' button in iMail but it makes no difference. I have looked at other posts which point the problem back to AOL - but Windows users do not have the problem. Is there a viable solution to this problem because my colleague absolutely will not ditch AOL".
I send email from iMail using plain text. The AOL recipient says he is now able to open .pdf (but the filename gets changed in transit) and .xls (no probs). He can open .doc by using the 'open with' command. The file name is shortened and the suffix is removed. Any suggestions gratefully received.

How to send multiple attachments thru mail?

I haven't been able to figure out how from the mail application send docs, worksheets etc as attachment. Also how to attach multiple docs in the mail. Looking for help on this.
Sparashar

You need to start in the app that contains the files that you want to send as attachments and use that app's functionality to select and attach files to an email, and not start in the Mail app e.g. the GoodReader app supports multiple document types (word and excel, read only, PDFs, text files, pictures) and allows you to select one or more of them and attach/switch with them to an email.
In the Mail app itself on iOS 6 you can now press and hold the body of the email and select photos from the Photos app to attach to it.

Problem sending big attachments through mail - E72

I've tried both profimail & the built-in client but most of the time it gives error like 'connection timeout or 'unable to send'. Is anyone else experiencing this problem ? This happens when the file size is around 2-3 MB.

I just tried sending myself a 3.5 MB mp3 file on my E73, and then again a 3.6 MB mp3. Both sent and downloaded smoothly with no issues. But I don't do this very often, so my results could be different next time... Have you tried upgrading to the new Nokia Email 3.09.0 client? Your phone's layout may be different, but I upgraded through Control Panel -> Phone -> SW Update. I don't think the older 3.05 beta from the Betalabs site mentioned large attachment problems, but it's worth a try.
If that doesn't help, I wonder if this could be a network problem or a mail server problem. Do you ever have trouble downloading large files from the web, streaming audio or video, etc.? Do you get strong 3G coverage? If you use a desktop computer, do you ever have trouble sending large attachments with this email account? (Avoid testing with webmail, if at all possible.) Does the file send eventually?

Mac OS X 10.7.3 mail doesn't send jpg attachments?

First thing:
I can't send a jpeg attachment with Mail. It always arrives in th body of the text and the receiver can do nothing with it.
Another thing:
Also when I want to forward an email, very often the attachments doesn't follow, or even the text of the email doesn't follow !
That's not reliable.
What can I do?

You need to upgrade to the current version of Adobe Reader 10.1.3. PPC applications are not supported in Lion.
If you also use Office then see:
Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

When I send image attachments through Mail they are received as very small and squashed. How can I change this?

I have a problem sending image attachements (e.g., jpeg, png files etc) with the Mail utility from my MacBook Pro. When people receive my email the attached image shows up not as an attached file that can be saved or downloaded, but as just a very small, squashed up version of the image imbedded in the email message itself.
I usually add these attachments by simply dragging and dropping the desired file into the window of the email text. Is this the wrong way to do it?
thanks
Jerry

Is this the wrong way to do it?
The safest way to send images is to create a compressed file and send that.
Click the image you want to send, go to File in the menu bar and select Compress... You end up with a file with a .zip at the end. Attach that to your email. Then trash the .zip file.
The person at the other end only has to double click the .zip attachment.
You can compress are single image or a folder of them.

How do I send .jpg from Mac Mail (5.2) as an attachment to Outlook?

I'm trying to send some photos to an Outlook email address. They're telling me the photos are embedded. When I send the email with .jpg's "attached" they show on my end as embedded and are received by the Outlook user as such. How do I go about getting a .jpg to attach like a .pages or .pdf file? Thank you in advance.

Can't send document attachments from Mail to iPhone

...well I can but not very well.... When using Gmail IMAP to sync everything, document attachments sent from Mac Mail to iPhone mail arrive as a bit of mess.. i.e. not as attachments but as text within the email itself, plus lots of garbled numbers and letters. Strange because if I send the same message from the iPhone back to itself or from webmail-Gmail it works fine. Its also just fine with photos and Pdf's. Help!

No, sorry. false alarm.
I just received a message, sent by Apple Mail 2.1.2 from OS 10.4.11, through POP, to an email-forwarding address, to my imap-gmail, and received from there (by IMAP) with Mail 2.1.2, too.
Details of what got garbled below, just to say that sending the email not to the forwarding address but directly to [email protected] did not help either.
the email was constructed like so:
- some text, readable.
- an attached PDF, space characters in name. this entire pdf was just printed in the email, meaning the postscript code and what have you.
- some more text, that was still readable
- an attached image that was probably pasted into the email, the name was "pastedGraphic.png". The image survived.
- text, readable.
- another PDF, raw contents printed into email body.
- a zip file, spaces in name, made with the built-in archive maker of Tiger. Also here, the entire 'source code' of the zip is printed in the body copy.
- some final bits of text. readable.
On another computer, this email was not routed through a gmail account and was received by POP. not a single problem there. In fact, not ever.
This is not very cool

Can't Send or receive e-mails from Windows Live Ma...

Hi,
I've been successfully getting mail though my BT Internet account and Windows Live Mail up until a few days ago when WLM just stopped working and I get the following error message.
"Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet xxxxxxxx account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F Protocol: POP3 Port: 110 Secure(SSL): No"
Checked all the settings and SMTP authentication and even tried deleting and setting up the account from scratch but still no joy. Weird thing is that when I tried bt broadband desktop help to check e-mail connection it comes back saying everything is ok and I get a message from them in WLM inbox!!
Confused?!

This is probably the intermittent, random problem that's been discussed at great length on the forum, eg here. It's improved considerably but is still affecting a few people occasionally. Hopefully it will go away of its own accord, but you may be able to clear it just by logging in to BT Yahoo! webmail.

Files corrupting when sending email attachments from Mail & Thunderbird

Hi All
I'm hoping that someone will be able to help here as this problem is driving me crazy!
Most if not all of my email attachments are corrupting when sending from Apple Mail and Thunderbird. I'm also having issues with publishing files via FTP from Rapidweaver 5! I have spoken to BT about the issue but they have tested the line and say everything is OK.
The strange thing is, it's happening on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my Mac Pro (Lion). The problem's also happen when I'm using a friends high speed internet connection so that only leaves the server. I'm really out of my depth with the server side of things though. I did have a reply from Servage (my hosting company) who said I may have been the subject of a hack and an upload script!! Not sure what this means or how to check if this is the case. One question though, would this corrupt email attachments as well as uploading to the server?
Many thanks
Mark

Further to the above: I have now found that the same corruption happens when I email attachments and FTP from my PC laptop, so this rules out a computer issue. I have also swapped wireless routers and exactly the same problem. As mentioned above, I don't get the corruption when using another internet connection.
Also, I have an iPhone which I've restored to factory default settings and when I take a photo with the phone and email it (using my home wireless network), the file corrupts, everytime.
Using services such as YouSendIt and WeTransfer, gives the same problems!
I'm desperate for help on this one and I'd even pay someone to resolve it!

Mail with jpg attachments not sending

I've tried repeatedly sending jpg photos in Mail, but they are never successfully sent. The Send icon keeps spinning and spinning and never stops. I end up having to go into the Outbox and deleting the message, then doing a Force Quit Mail before I can reopen Mail. This is something new since updating to Lion.

Hmm that sounds convenient.
Maybe try Attachment tamer, a Mail plug-in, and see if you can tweek a work around. A few bugs in Mail.
