Sending mail attachments as attachments, not images

I send a lot of resumes, and I set up my Mac Mail to function with my website's email address.
I recently changed my resume to a PDF. When I attach it, it appears as an image. I just want to attach it for others to download as a file. I know I can toggle the way it's viewed in the email, as an image or as an icon for a file, but I believe that only changes the way I see it, not the person receiving it. Any ideas how to simply attach it as a saveable file?

It really depends on the client email program as to how it's displayed, you might try "Always send as Windows friendly attachment", but likely you'll have to compress/archive/zip up that PDF before attaching to not have it displayed.

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.

I am holidaying in Auckland using my daughter's Orcon internet account for sending mail but it will not send. I am sure I am putting in the correct information but it still says mail.orcon.net.nz(Offline). I have spent half an hour with Orcon putting in correct info. They do not know how to help me further and neither does telstra clear, my own internet provider.
Any advice appreciated.

On the Mail menubar > Mailbox, make sure Take all accounts online is selected.

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?

What kind of files are you trying to attach?
Is it all recipients having this problem or specific one(s)?
Could you possibly post a screenshot of the sent message from your side and a screenshot of what the recipient sees?
What happens if you send one of these messages to yourself?

Mail attachments not available when sent

Attaching files in Mail, either by drag and drop, or using the "Attach" button on the "New Message" window, seems to work on the iMac, but when the files are sent and opened in Outlook Express on Windows XP, or online (Gmail) with a browser, only a thumbnail shows up. A reply for that message, coming from a Windows machine, contains the attachment as would have been expected. This problem occurs on two iMacs using the same operating system. Both are set to send emails as Windows-friendly attachments, and both have been updated to the latest version. Using thunderbird causes no such problems. Anyone else having the problem?

It's the way Mac Mail is designed, it embeds images and attachments rather then actually attaching them.
What you can do however is have a look at Attachment Tamer, it changes the default behaviour of mail to attach rather then embed which i think is what you're looking for.

Problems with Apple Mail attachments not showing in Outlook

I am experiencing problems when using the new Apple Mail 5.0 (with OSX Lion) to send PDF attachments. The recipient using MS Outlook on a PC will see the email, see the attachment icon (paper clip) but they cannot click to open the attachment.
It's like the attachment was stripped off the email.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

I also have this problem, it seems to be something to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22343 but I cannot find the "View in Place" or "View as Icon" options. Anyone had any luck?
This however, maybe the cause (with no real solution but to switch to plain text format): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesoftwareupdate/thread/7 98ae640-9091-44c9-b663-63152eb2f0fe/

Mail attachments not being decoded

I use the mail.app to get mail from a Lotus mail server via Lotus's IMAP support. Currently mail attachments in messages sent by a LotusNotes client have not been decoding and are appearing as ascii-encoded text in the body of the mail message. When I use Thunderbird to access my mail, the attachments decode properly. Any thoughts on how to address this problem in mail.app?
Thanks for your help.

This happens when you have Always Insert Attachments at end of Message selected and you have not text in the body of the message. If you add any text, you should be able to add the attachment.
Seems to me it's a bit of an oversight of the programming in that it is trying to find the "end of the Message" but can't, so it fails silently.

Mail attachments not downloading (shows download arrow icon only)

Mountain Lion's Mail seems to be very flakey.
The main problem I have is that quite often when an email comes in with an attachement all I see is an icon with a download arrow. When I click it nothing happens. Usually I have to open the message in a new window, click loads of times until eventually it opens (usually several copies of it).
These are not big files, images, pdfs or .ppt files usually. No more than a meg. Often there are multiple attachements and maybe one or two ar displayed in the body (if images) the others are download icons.
Activity shows the mail coming in and that it takes a little wile to download as if the attachment is being transferred.
Its getting really anoyying. Never had this problem before in Lion or previous.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Saving e-mail attachments (NOT PICTURES)

Does anyone know if there is an app out there that will allow you to save e-mail attachments? Word,excel, or PP.

Cannot be done. There is no user-accessible file system on the iPhone. Apps that allow file storage/transfer (Air Sharing, File Magnet, DataCase) store the files 'within' the apps themselves, and can only get them transferred over WiFi with the app active.

Error in sending mail : SMTPSendFailedExcept Client was not authenticated

Hello all,
I am new to the forum,
I have a small program to send mail to Microsoft exchange server.
Now the server is enabled with https option.
Now i am getting error :
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1668)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.mailFrom(SMTPTransport.java:1207)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:735)
at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:191)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:120)
at SendEmail.main(SendEmail.java:55)
there are two things:
As the program sends mail from a webpage, a user password used for login to the webpage is different from his mail server password, it is not possible to give a username and password to send mail / read mail from the exchange server.
Please give any other option without passing user name and password to the exchange server.

1. Reconfigure the Exchange server to allow sending without authentication.
2. Authenticate to the Exchange server using credentials specific to the web application itself.
Configure the Exchange server to allow the user with those credentials to send mail that appears
to be from any other user.
No, I don't know how to do any of that with Exchange; ask Microsoft.

I have on machine that does not have GW client, but has only Outlook
It is only used for SMTP sending mails via GWIA
It works fine to external sources, but to internal ones it only works for
some users, for majority it does not work
It probably it is something with access control (can not understand how &
why)
Can see in the log that the mail being send, but it never arrives in
internal user (same domain) mailbox
No error visible

The servlet include a send mail function,and can not retrun immediately!

In the post/get funtion ,a send mail function is present,and this will make the client wait a long time to continue to browse,how to let it return as soon as possible?

Not sure I understand your question, but I think you want to know how to handle a lengthly operation (send mail in your case) without making the client wait a long time for a response. If that is the question, you can kick off a new thread to handle the mail sending while replying to the browser client immediately. There's a good intro to threads and examples in the Jave tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/index.html)

My iPad 3 will no longer send mail. "The server does not allow relaying:. This happens on both cellular and wifi. It happens for all recipients. It does receive mail fins. How can I fix this?

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works
