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.

  • Mail attachments to windows users

    when iI send mail with attachments to Windows users, they can't click on the attachment to view it, they can only download the file. I am sending the mail with windows friendly attchments selected. Any ideas on how I can fix this??

    I use a PC laptop running Windows XP at work and we use Outlook as our email client.
    I have the PC laptop at home with me and I just sent an email with Mail on my PB to my business email address. I used RTF for message composition, inserted a signature composed with RTF and added a PDF file as an attachment with Send Windows Friendly selected.
    I downloaded the message and attachment with Outlook and when opening the message, I was able to open the attachment from within the message by double-clicking on the attached file.
    I searched for an available option or setting with Outlook that would prevent me from doing this but I couldn't find one.
    Long story short, I did not experience the same as you are reporting so based on my test, this is not a Mail.app problem unless you are describing the problem in a way that I'm not understanding.

  • Sending Mail with attachment like User Decision

    Hi,
    Is there any way to send the document attached with the send mail step ? In User Decision, we can use binding between the workflow and task and document is attached. Like wise, is there any method ??
    I know we can send the attachment using the FM SO_****. So don give that answers. I want to know without using the FM, is it possible or not ?
    And i don want to use BO SOFM.
    For example, in Project Definition, one person creates a milestone. WF is triggered and goes for attachment of concorrence note. One attaches the concorrence note and mail is send to initiator. In that mail, can he able to see the attachment ??

    As far as I know the answer is "probably". You aren't saying how the mail is sent to initiator, you just say you don't want to use the FM or the BOR object type SOFM. I assume you are using the standard sendmail step type, i.e. BOR object type SELFITEM with method SendTaskDescription.
    As I am sure you can imagine, an attachment doesn't magically appear. If you send a workflow step (task) to someone, you can bind attachments to make them available in work item display. If you send a message you can construct it with attachments, but that doesn't happen without any effort. If you look at the parameters for SendTaskDescription you will see that there is a parameter for attachments. Try passing (binding) a value to it. If your SendMail task doesn't include that parameter as importing parameter you will of course have to fix your task (TS object) first.

  • How do I send an Appleworks document via e-mail to a windows user?

    The "Send As Windows Friendly Attachment" tickbox never seems to work?

    The only way for an AppleWorks file to be viewed on a PC is for the PC user to have AppleWorks for Windows. However, there are many formats you could save the AppleWorks files as that most Windows users could use. For all of these, choose "Save As..." from the File menu & change the "File Format" in the drop-down menu. You do need to add the appropriate file extension to the file name as Windows does not know what program to use without it and AppleWorks will not add it for you.
    1. For pictures, JPEG (not JPEG 2000) is best. Add .jpg to the file name.
    2. For word processing, most will use Word Windows 97, 2000, XP. Add .doc to the file name. You can also save as RTF (.rtf) or plain text (.txt).
    3. For spreadsheets, save as Excel & add .xls to the file name.
    You could also save any document as a PDF which can be viewed by Acrobat Reader. Essentially, you print the file to a PDF format. Choose "Print" from the File menu & click the button at the bottom of the dialog box that says "Save as PDF." You will get a regular save dialog box. This method does add the appropriate .pdf file extension, just make sure "Hide extension" is not checked. I have found, though, that many PC users don't have this installed on their computers.

  • Mail attachments to Windows machines?

    I am trying to send two images as attachments to a user on a Windows machine.  The attachments are appearing in-line in the body of the email and do not show as attachments on Windows.
    I am attaching the 2 images by clicking the paper clip on the new mail message and browsing to the image location to select them.  I am selecting both images and they appear in-line in my outgoing message and as attachments.  I have checked the 'Send Windows Friendly' box.  The Windows recipient can only see the in-line images.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Was having the same issue and found this on another forum and it worked like a charm!

  • Email attachments to Windows users

    When I used to use Panther as an OS, if I emailed people with Windows machines I could simply attach a graphic or file in Mail, check "Windows friendly attachments" and when they got the email they could open the attachments easily.
    Now, using Tiger and Mail, if I do the same thing with the attachments, the recipients tell me that the graphics and other attachments "embed" in their emails and they can't open the attachments. Only if I Zip the files can they open and use them easily. Is this something I can solve in Mail, or is the problem at their end? Is there any way I can just get back to attaching files as Windows friendly without having to Zip them?

    Now, using Tiger and Mail, if I do the same thing with the attachments, the recipients tell me that the graphics and other attachments "embed" in their emails and they can't open the attachments. Only if I Zip the files can they open and use them easily.
    You might try Mail Attachments Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer) and see if it helps.
    However, some files and PC mail programs may still have problems.

  • Finding all SharePoint objects (alerts, workflows, etc) configured to send mail to a specific user

    Hi all,
    I'm looking at the mail traffic originating from our SharePoint instance and noticed there are a number of "delivery has failed to these recipients or groups" for people no longer with us.
    Is there a means (powershell?) to discover the objects (alerts, workflows, etc...) in SharePoint that are sending mail to these people so they can be removed as part of old account housekeeping?
    Thanks!

  • Send mail to a specific user group when an Inbound Idoc processing fails

    I am using standard Message type DEBMAS, but the process code is customed (say ZDEBM as the function module is customed). Can you tell me what configurations are required to activate the error notification message to a user when the inbound idoc fails?

    hi,
    i think u need to check tcode swu3 for automatic workflow customizing and check in we40 (error AND STATUS PROCESSING) whether the processing code is assigned to the workflow task.
    if it is assigned,the workflow will be automatically triggered and the mail will be sent to the user by itself.
    ALE error handling uses workflow. A standard task is provided for each message type. Task TS20000051 is used for all BAPIs.
    Workflow functions as follows:
    A task (work item) is generated for the error handling and stored as a message in the inboxes of the employees responsible.
    If one of these employees processes the work item, the standard task method for error handling is started. The user can, for example, restart IDoc processing.
    If the IDoc is processed successfully, the work item is deleted from the inboxes of all the employees involved.
    For this procedure to function, the employees responsible for a particular message type and partner (sender or receiver) must be defined as follows:
    1. A hierarchy of organizational units (for example, "sales office") and positions (for example, "customer officer for customer X") is created and employees are assigned to it.
    2. The standard tasks for error handling (for example, an error related to an inbound sales order) are assigned to the relevant organizational units or positions (for example, "sales office").
    3. The organizational unit, position or employee responsible for dealing with the error are specified for each partner and message type in the partner profiles.
    If an error occurs, the system determines:
    1. The employees responsible using the staffing schedule of the organizational unit or position linked to the standard task.
    2. The employees defined in the partner profiles (using position, user ID, or organizational unit).
    3. The employees appearing in both groups represent those who will receive a work item in their inboxes.

  • 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.
