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.

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. -
I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?
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. -
I am trying to send a friend a group email list from Contact. When it arrives there is only one contact in it. There should be 30! Any ideas?
The procedure for exporting a group is to right-click (or Control-click) on the group in Contacts and select Export Group vCard, then email the resulting file to your friend. Is that what you're doing? If not, give that a try. You can confirm the contents of the file by doing a Quick Look on the file.
Hope this helps. -
Sending window friendly photo attachments

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. -

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! ; ) -
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. -
My friends who are using Windows do not seem to be able to view pictures I email them. Do I need to change format?? Pictures from a website called ZipRealty.com specifically. They are sent in the body of the message, not as an attachment. Do they need to go as an attachment?? What am I missing guys/girls??
Use filename extensions, such as .doc, 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."
To make files you attach to all outgoing messages "Windows-friendly," choose Edit > Attachments > Send Windows Friendly Attachments. To attach a Windows-friendly file to a single message, click Attach in the toolbar of the message window and click Send Windows Friendly Attachments in the Attach dialog.
If you send attachments to Mac users with the "Windows-friendly" option selected, your attachment may be unusable or may be missing information (such as the preview icon for the file).
If you are sending picture/image attachments to a Windows Outlook user and depending on the Outlook version the recipient is using, Outlook doesn't always read the Mail.app's RTF properly.
You should also use Plain Text for message compostion when sending picture/image attachments to a Windows Outlook user. -
Im trying to send out a word document via email. It tells me it cannot send because I have not yet set up an account with enterage. My email is active already with Apple regular mail program. How can I send it out through reg mail?
Save the Word document. Create your email in your normal mail application (Mail?), click on the add attachment icon (the paperclip if you are using Mail). Navigate to where you saved the Word file and select it. It should now appear as an attachment in your email. If you are sending it to a PC user and you are using Mail make sure 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in the edit menu. And if you don't want the attachment to display inline within the body of the email Control+Click on it and select 'view as icon'.

Problem sending pdf attachments from .me email
When I send an email from my .me account with a pdf attachment, the recipient does not receive it. The attachment is not lost: they do not receive the email at all.
If I send the same email with a doc, excel or other type of attachment, it is received without a problem.
I can send the same pdf from my yahoo account and it is received without a problem.
I have replicated the problem with different pdf files and different recipients.
Any thoughts on what might be happening?
Thanks!In Mail's menu, go to Edit > Attachments
