Sending window friendly photo attachments

Since upgrading to Yosemite and changing from entourage to Mail
When I send photos from desktop of Iphoto they leave looking like they should. i.e they are attached to the email but when they are they are only pictures and no attachments and no paperclips on email 
Window friendly attachment Box is ticked and in mail preferences .

Windows Friendly attachments means the resource fork is stripped from files so it's less confusing for Windows machines.
but when they are they are only pictures and no attachments and no paperclips on email
Do you mean 'but when thy are received...?
How things turn up on the receiver's machine has a lot to do with the settings there... Try sending plain text emails.

    Dear Dan,
    It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
    So what I did was tested and worked for years.
    You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
    Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

  • How do I send windows friendly attachments in Mail?

    I am attaching jpgs to emails and sending them to windows users. They claim that the jpgs are embedded in the email and that they cannot access them. When I look at the email I sent in my Sent Mail folder it looks just like I would expect it to. Yes, the jpgs are visible at the end of the email, where I dragged them. But they are also shown in the header as attachments. "Always send windows friendly attachments" is already selected in the Edit>Attachments menu, so what am I missing here? Why can't these windows users access the jpg files?

    I need to make a living.  I won't let mac mail prevent me from making a living even a little bit.  Apples product will not let me do the things i need to do.  I don't have the luxury of trying to dictate to my customers which email product they use, most of them are NOT sophisticated computer users.  They use what is given to them by an ISP.  One contact lost could cost thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
    I am not misinformed Apples, product does not do what i need.  That is ALL the information i need, i can't use it.  I don't care, even a little bit, about a "standard" so don't try to inform me about standards and how Apple is right and Microsoft is wrong.
    Apples email product is the only product I've used that has this difficulty.  So far it has not been enough of a problem for me to abandon Apple entirely.  I must say that I cannot use 2 of the three products i have from apple for sending business emails.  I don't know how much longer Apple will be able to ignore real world problems their customers face when using Apple products in a very NON standards compliant world.
    None of the solutions i've found here are real world solutions, No Zipping of Files, No requirement that attachments be at the end of an email, No requirement for plain text.  No one seems to understand that much of what i have to deal with is a long string of forwarded and reply email.  If i try to make all of this stuff work i'd spend days reformatting other peoples email and the result would be something they would not recognize.
    So i'd love to hear from someone that does not have a myopic Apple flavored view of the world and has a real solution.  The only one i've found is spelled "OUTLOOK".  Sorry.

  • Sending windows friendly pictures in email

    I send out a lot of photos to family, using mail and iphoto. My brother who has a windows machine, has to open each one seperately. Which needless to say is a pain. As far as Iv know this was not a problem when I used the camera software and attached the photos myself. However I also upgraded to tiger at the same time.
    Any thoughts?

    This send Windows Friendly Attachments feature has no effect on this.
    The Mail.app displays all image/photo type attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default (when receiving and sending such attachments) which cannot be turned off without using a 3rd party plugin.
    Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
    For example, when a Windows Outlook or Outlook Express user sends such attachments, the files appear as attached files only when sending but when received and opened by a Mail.app user, the attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message for which the sender has no control over unless the sender uses HTML formatting and embeds such files within the body of the message which are not true attachments.

  • Mail option "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" is grayed-out

    I use Mail 4.2 under OS 10.6.2.
    The option "Send Windows-Friendrly Attachments" is grayed-out.
    Is there a reason for that?
    Could that mean that it in non functional?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks!
    I understand what you mean and that was the explanation that I gave myself, but without really knowing if I was right. Your explanation seems logical.
    I was raising this point, because I have a problem sending attached ".jpg" photos to a friend in Europe (France) who uses Outlook under Windows Vista. He keeps telling me that I am at the origin of the problem, this problem being that he receives the attachment within the core of the text and that the file is in ".bmp" rather than ".jpg"!
    Otherwise, I am not having the problem with others Windows users, who also use Outlook (under XP, Vista, or 7). They all receive the ".jpg" file as such and can open it by clicking twice on it, and also save it as such.
    But I'm trying to see if I do something wrong before I try to convince this friend that the problem may be on his side. In which case, I also would like to help him in finding out what the problem is (but I'm not expert of the "dark side").

  • Mail will not send Windows friendly attachments

    Although in the menu "Edit" send word friendly attachments is ticked.  It does not send them.  Recipient says it arrives as zipped file that is jammed and cannot be opened.  I've been exporting the pages document to Word and then attaching it.

    Hi,
    "embedded jpegs" is not good terminology. If the JPEGs are attachments, they are not embedded -- don't confuse embedded with View in Place, btw.
    How large a JPEG have you been able to attach and sent? How is the computer connected -- wireless or via ethernet cable?

  • How do I send Windows-friendly network drive links using Mail (in Tiger)?

    I'm in an office with mostly Windows users (and Windows NT servers). Most folks use Windows email applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express. I use Apple Mail 2.1.3 (753.1) in Tiger v10.4.11. But I want to send links within my emails to files on our various network drives and have the receiving Windows/Outlook users click the links to automatically open the various files, but I can't get this to work. Any ideas on how to format the network links so they work this way?
    I don't log into the network drives normally until I want to access things, perhaps I should. But I've tried this and still no go.

    Thanks, but I've tried this in a variety of ways, none of which seem to work. So there's more detail required. Here's some background and examples of what I've tried without success.
    The Windows WORKGROUP is, say, "JAMESCORP" - but what's the equivalent in Apple networking to a Workgroup? And does this even matter? It seems to not matter?
    The Windows drives are mapped on Windows machines as, say, F: G: H: I: etc... But I don't know what the equivalent concept of mapping drives is on an Apple (more on smb, below). I typically don't map Windows' network drives (I use VMWare Fusion) on the Windows side since I did not like the constant Windows messages reminding me each time I'm out of the office that it can't find the Drive F:. Then it can't find Drive G: - etc. ad infinitum. What a pain.
    On the Apple side, I use Finder's command-K to smb into the server that contains all the partitioned drives. In the smb list, the drive names are, say, mapp-cdrv and mapp-ddrv etc (which, in Windows map to F: and G: respectively).
    So when you type "servername" - I'm lost regarding just what the servername should really be? Is it:
    a) F: (which does not work for a Windows user once it's delivered via Apple Mail to an Microsoft Outlook email) So this seems to not be the proper servername - or if it is, there's a translation happening in the delivery mechanism that makes it not work. (I "Add Hyperlink" from the Edit menu to get the link into an Apple Mail message.)
    b) mapp-cdrv (which works on an Apple, but when sent to a Windows machine's email (e.g., Outlook) does not work - so this isn't it. This servername is not something the Windows machines understand
    c) cifs://workgroup;""me@<ip address of server>/mapp-cdrv (which, again, doesn't work on a Windows machine once sent thru Apple Mail).
    I've tried a variety of other permutations of "servername" - both Windows-like server names and Apple-like server names - but none seem to work once delivered the way I'm delivering the links (thru Apple Mail to Outlook.)
    Any other ideas? Thanks for the help! ; )

  • Photo attachments not attached in windows outlook

    I am trying to send some photos from my iMac with OS X Lion. I have tried several times both directly from Aperture and inserting them as attachments in Mail. In all cases they end up on Windows Outlook in the message but not as attachments. "Send Windows friendly attachments" is checked. It used to work in Snow Leopard.

    Hi,
    Please right click on the attachment, then click "Open", does this work?
    We can also start Outlook in Safe Mode to troubleshoot if it's caused by some 3rd-party add-ins:
    Press Win + R, type "Outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    Then Outlook will start in Safe Mode, check whether the issue persists. If no, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the issue.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 When I email an attachment with "Always Sent Windows-Friendly Attachments" checked, the result is a picture embedded in the body of the email, not a attachment.  What am I doing wrong.

    When I email an attachment (a .jpg file) with "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" checked, the result is a picture embedded in the body of the email, not a attachment.  What am I doing wrong.

    1. "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" has nothing to do with the display of attachments on either your machine or other ones. It's an esoteric setting that strips the resource fork from Mac files (that might have them) which could apper as a duplicate file on the Windows machine.
    2. Send Plain Text emails. Then it will always be received as an attachment.

  • Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

    Hello All,
    I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
    Any way around this?

    I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
    1.
    2. Clicked Word Doc.
    3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
    At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
    Thanks for everybody's help!

  • My windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

    My Windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

    If the attachments are common files that your recipients should be able to read (PDF, DOC, TXT) then what is the setting when you select the menu command Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (checked or unchecked).
    If it's unchecked you should check that setting and retry.

  • Apple Mail Photo Attachments

    I sent email to two Widows users and one Mac user that contained photos. Neither of the Windows users could see the photos but the Mac user did. I sent the photos 2 ways, the first by pasting into the main body of the message and the second as an attachment. Neither method worked for the Windows users. The photos were jpg and the names contained the jpg extension. (Actually, the first time, the pasted graphics were converted to tiff). Under Edit > Attachments, "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" is checked.
    I never had this problem with Entourage. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. But, in the meantime, what is the explanation? The Mac recipient had no problem, only the Windows users.
    Using Entourage, I would have to format the message as html in order to send pasted photos, but I never had a problem like this. Even the attachments did not work with Apple Mail.

  • Mac Mail and Photo attachments

    I recently changed my business E-mail client to Mac Mail 3.8 from Eudora. I was very surprised that Mac Mail could not attach a graphic file to an E-mail without actually embedding the file into the E-mail. Mac to Mac my clients could access the file as an attachment, but Mac to PC they could not. I was very surprised to find that the only solution Apple support showed was to compress the graphic file as a zip archive file. This solution is unacceptable as Google Mail disallowed zip files as attachments, and more than a handful of my clients use G-Mail. I found a third party plug-in solution offered by Loki software called Mail Attachments Iconizer http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer which actually works to change the way Mac Mail handles graphic file attachments, so that PC users can access the attached file. I was amazed that there was no mention of this solution on the apple support thread... Now there is!

    Welcome to Apple Community forums.
    Have you tried using "Send Windows friendly attachments" at the bottom of the attach dialog?
