Stopping Email Attachment

Is there a way to stop Mail from placing a copy of an attachment I open in preview or other application?
In the graphics business I get loads of email with multiple attachments and I may need to only open one of them to change and save file name. When I do this I end up with a copy on my desktop. It's kind of a pain to have to stop what ever I am doing and go through my desktop a few times day to trash all the copies of attachments.
Thanks

In order to be able to open an attachment in another application, Mail has to save a temporary copy of the attachment as a separate file somewhere. There is no way you would be able to open an attachment in another application if it didn’t exist as a separate file in the filesystem.
As Randy pointed out, the default location for storing those temporary copies is ~/Library/Mail Downloads/, but both the location and what happens to the temporary copies afterwards depend on your Downloads Folder and Remove unedited downloads settings in Mail > Preferences > General.
For more information, read Mail Help’s “Setting the location for attachments that you open in Mail” article.
> I may need to only open one of them to change and save file name.
What do you mean? Why would you need to open (a temporary copy of) an attachment, just to rename it if you don’t want to keep it. It doesn’t make sense to me...

Word keeps crashing when I attempt to open an .docx email attachment, how do I fix this?

Word keeps crashing when I attempt to open an .docx email attachment, how to I stop word from crashing and be able to open the file?

Since Word is a Microsoft product, you might have better luck of getting an answer over on the Microsoft forum.

I left a negative feedback, and now the seller won't stop emailing me.

I bought an item on eaby, and it was completely different from the picture, and honesty, just terrible. I'm not someone who jumps to leave a negative review, and this is the first time I've ever, ever done it. I left a negative because I think it's wrong to misrepresent a product. Ever since leaving the feedback, the seller has contacted me every day, sometimes twice, telling me to change my review. I'm not changing it. I left an honest review. The end. I want no further contact with this seller. How do I make them stop emailing me?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you had a crummy experience with this transaction. Sometimes, if you let a seller know ahead of time that you are unhappy with your item, they might make amends, but it is completely within your right as a buyer to expect to get the item you bought the first time around so..... Assuming the messages are coming via ebay messages and not your personal email, you'll have to sit down at a desktop or open a web browser on your phone and log into your account. Go to your Messages. On each one, there should be a section at the bottom that looks like what I have attached below. Go to the Report an inappropriate email and follow the instructions. Do this for EVERY message that you've been sent by this person. I don't know what good it ever does but this is what you can do. Report them. For each message sent. When a seller makes a Feedback Revision request, they are warned by ebay NOT to harass the buyer to do comply. The seller really should know better than to do this to you. I too have a problem with unwarranted and unwanted messages from a fellow ebay member (not a customer) who has been reported by me to ebay multiple times and long-ago blocked but still has somehow managed to circumvent it to continue to contact me. In the most recent message, he suggested I have marital relations with a pig. He also told me he has run out of his meds. I don't reply to something like that. I would suggest you not either with this seller. Eventually, someone else will leave bad feedback for this seller and you'll be off the hook. Good luck as you carry forward.

Email attachment from spool...not to go on printer for printing

Hi,
I am sending email attachement whenever I find email address on customer. To send email I am reading from spool and then sending.
My requirement is I should not send the document for regular printing whenever I find email of customer. Since we are already sending the PDF to customer.
But right now in my program both printing and sending email is happening. How to stop printing when I find email ID of customer?
Thanks

Hi,
in your print program try to set the attribute TDNOPRINT of the OUTPUT_OPTIONS (structure SSFCOMPOP) with X in case you find the email.
Cheers.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).

I have an email attachment that I would like to be able to access when NOTconnected. I found one suggestion that I should open the attachemtn iniBooks and save it there. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

I am trying to store an email attachment (an Excel spreadsheet) somewhere on my iPhone 5 to be able to access it easily in the future. I do not need the ability to work on it, just to access it, although it would be convenient if i could load updated versions over it on a regular basis. The spreadsheet was created in Excel on a laptop with Win 7. I read one posting that said I should save the document to iBooks and then could open it whenever I wanted. The same posting refered to something in the upper right corner of the attachment that enabled me to save it to iBooks. Unfortunately, there is no such option showing when I looked at the file, which I did email to myself. I was able to open the attachment, but can't get beyond this point. My tech ability doesn't go much beyond being able to power up my phone, so I need a really simple solution, if one exists.

First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook. (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options. In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2. There are a few free apps that can use to view. I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too. Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me.

Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.

Broadcast E-mail; Broadcast E-mail (Bursting); Broadcast Portal; Broadcast Multichannel and Output Format only MS Workbook and Link to current Data. Here i miss the possibility as PDF.
Where can i set up that the workbook should be broadcast as PDF.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks and kind rgerads,

Thanks all for your answers,
i also read that with changing the format in Report designer then broadcasting via PDF. Is there no possibility for PDFs for MS Excel Workbooks? How does it work when opening the query in Report designer? What do i have to do there but it is no solution for us because in the workbooks we use GET BEX DATA formulas and just show parts of the analyisis grid. I need a proper solution how to use broadcaster converting workbooks into PDF an send them as email attachment

Deleted the email attached to old Apple Acc & forget password. Still registered to my iPod? How do I use a new Apple ID in App Store for my iPod?

I have deleted the email address attached to my Apple ID. I know what the email address is but it is non-existant. I thought I remembered the password but apparently it is incorrect? When I go to the App Store on my iPod and click my account to try and sign out. It does nothing and the button is faded out. When I try to download a free app it asks for the password for the old account with a deleted email attached to it. How do I sign out of this account on my iPod so I can sign in to another Apple ID to download apps?

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into another account.
NOTE:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
Try recovering access to your account by using the secret question methosd
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
Then
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

How to set up link on icon to forward PDF file as email attachment

HI,
I need urgent help.
I know this used to work but cant find it in Acrobat XI.
We created a file for a client, on the last page is a twitter, facebook and linkedIn icon which are set as links in Indesign to forward to the matching social network. Works fine when I created PDF with Hyperlinks.
We also set up an envelope symbol which shall get, now where it is set up as PDF, a link, so the PDF itself can get forwarded as a email attachment.
I can not find this function on a MAC nor on PC Acrobat XI.
Hope you can help, much appreciated!!!!
THANKS
