Thunderbird: Opening an attachment yields a size zero file; saving attachment is okay (MacOSX)

For quite a while there was no problem, but after one of the updates a couple of months ago, double-clicking or selecting "open" on an attachment yields a size 0 file (with the correct name) in my Downloads directory. Saving the attachment works fine.

Hi,
is the next part of the code correct.
What i mean is packing of the attachment, finding out the size of pdf file and doc type as PDF.
You can also try below link..

Can't open picture attachments on BlackBerry Curve 8330

I just traded my Pearl 8130 for the Curve 8330 yesterday. While I think I made the right decision, I'm a little annoyed by the fact that for the most part, I can't open email attachments. Keep in mind, this is when I actually use the Internet Browser to access my various accounts. In other words, I'm actually going to www.gmail.com and www.hotmail.com. When I get into my Hotmail, it'll show the paper clip signifying an attachment but won't give me any sort of option to open it. It just lists the file name(s) and that's it. When I go into my gmail, if I've got an email that only contains one or two pictures it'll usually open those. But any more than that and it's the same deal with Hotmail, except that it'll actually have the "6 Attachments" link that I can actually click, but when I do it just lists the file names in regular type and there's no option whatsoever to open them. It doesn't open any kind of thumbnail either.
It's kind of a bummer to me because I have a lot of saved pictures in my email accounts that I'd like to save on my phone as well. If all BlackBerrys are like that, I'll just deal with it and shut up. When I get email attachments in the accounts I've set up to go directly to my BlackBerry I can always open them, so maybe this is just normal for BlackBerrys. But if mine is actually having a problem I'd really like to get it fixed. If that's the case, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I already resent Service Books and took the battery out and put it back in. That's all I've tried so far. If all else fails I can just take it in to Alltel to have it looked at but it'd be nice to avoid having to do that. I know there are other ways to go about this... I can always just manually move them to my phone's memory card from the computer and stuff. Getting them directly from my email would just be a little quicker.
Thanks, everyone!

Blackberry browser isnt exactly the same as a browser on your PC. It has limitations, such as sizes. when you added the email to your BIS account its now mail on your device which is the primary function of a blackberry. when using BIS or BES emails, they are designed to truncate if too big, but if you wish to look at more it gives you that option. www.hotmail.com is not designed to accomodate blackberry. Your best option is to stay to the BIS email option.
Not to mention it uses less of your data bandwidth to use BIS email rather than browsing to www.hotmail.com

Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

Opening an attachment

I have a list box with 3 buttons, attach, open and delete. The attach and delete buttons work fine when I attach or delete an attachment but when I click on the attachment button it does not open the attachment saying the is no attachment.
I am running Acrobat X Pro.
My code is:-
try}
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = Attachments.rawValue;
myDoc.exportDataObject ({ cName: sfile, nlaunch: 2 });
catch(e)
app.alert("There are no files to open");

JUst try it with the following code. Hope this helps...
var oObj = event.target;
var fileAttachments = oObj.dataObjects;//dataObjects returns all dataObjects(attachments)in the pdf
//attachmentsList is a listbox field in the form listing all the attachments included
if(attachmentsList.length > 0)
oObj.importDataObject(fileAttachments.length);
var oDataObj = oObj.getDataObject(fileAttachments.length);
attachmentsList.addItem(oDataObj.path);
//console.println("The attachments size is...."+fileAttachments.length);
//NoOfAttachments is the text field showing total no. of attachments
NoOfAttachments.rawValue = fileAttachments.length+1;
else
//we need to associate each file attachment imported into the document with a key
//then get the file attachment's name and add it to the drop down list
oObj.importDataObject(counter.value);
var oDataObj = oObj.getDataObject(counter.value);
attachmentsList.addItem(oDataObj.path);
NoOfAttachments.rawValue = 1;
thanks.

Tiger 10.4.11-Can't open email attachment

Received an email attachment jpg (777 KB) which was clearly visible in the message window as well as when I opened the attachment itself -so no problem. However I needed to have some alterations made to this file (business card)
I duly received two consecutive attachments, which were the alterations to my business card (the 777 KB file.
These two files were now 1.3 MB and 1.4 MB in size, they appeared in the message window as large black images (nothing visible) which I was unable to open.
As I did not know the problem, suggested to the sender to perhaps reduce the file size, as I was able to open the original file. The sender re-sent the re-sized file now reduced to 744 KB, similar in size to the first one, again appears as a large black image.
Now we are at a stalemate, the sender says he has four computers and the images appear fine on all four, so is now suggesting the problem is with me or my computer. I have had no prior problems opening jpg files, so suggested he send me a pdf to enable me to check the alterations, I'm still waiting for that pdf!
Can someone please help! Is there something i can do? or is it up to the sender?

When Thunderbird opens a pop-up asks for application to use for a "c" link. how do I determine the Application:

When Thunderbird opens, a gui says the "c" link needs and Application to open. It does not give me a list of available Apps to use. How do I determine which application is needed? Thank you.

I have no idea where this comes from. Are you doing anything specific to trigger this?
Are you trying to open an attachment?
You can also try safe mode.

Apple script to open an attachment

Hi all,
Can someone help me writing an appleScript to open an attachment of a mail.
I want to create a rule in Mail that when ever I get an email with a specific attachment it will be opened. I plan to run this script whenever mail is receiving an email with this attachment.
Thanks,
Ziv

I run this from the script menu, so you will need to tidy it up and modify it for your rule.

Cannot open up attachment larger then 10 MB on mobile devices using active sync

Our blackberry Z10/Q10 devices are trying to open up attachments larger then 10MB. When we try to open the attached files larger then 10MB on the blackberry devices, we get attachment too large by policy message. We can open up the message just fine in outlook
and in webmail.
We have spent several hours with blackberry support on the telephone and they say it is related to active sync. Exchange active sync is not stopping the device from opening attachment of any size. Our email send/receivie email limit is set to 30MB.
Blackberry is saying it is related to exchange 2010 active sync, but I am not sure where else to look as the active synch attachment policy is setup with no entry in the attachment size field. If the defautl attachment size field in active sync is not set does
it default to 10 MB?

Hi bubba1984,
I have found the KB that roopal1ra0 mentioned, it is realy good information. However it related to the Outlook client, not mobile.
"We can open up the message just fine in outlook and in webmail."
It seems there is no issue on the Outlook client and OWA. So the issue related to the ActiveSync.
Since the Active Sync is not supported on this current Forum, I suggest re-creating a new thread on the AcriveSync Forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?forum=exchangesvrmobility
However, I can also share some information for your reference:
Maximum attachment size
500 kilobytes (KB)
More details in the following article:
Understanding Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policies

Unable to open URL attachment from SBWP in CRM WEB UI

Hello Gurus,
Need your help please. I'm having some problem opening the URL attachment from SBWP via CRM 7 WEB UI (I used a Transaction Launcher for SBWP). The attachment is a Webdynpro application. I am able to open the attachment in SAP GUI, but not in CRM WEBUI. This problem occured when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Here's the scenario,
- whenever I click the attachment, it open a new window, which also happen even before SP level update, with the following information:
Execute an Application on FrontEnd
Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically.
This page is included for technical reason.
Execute program.
Status: Displaying Office Document ..........
After a couple of seconds, it will return to the Workflow Workplace screen.
I have checked the workflow log and found no inconsistency on the attached URL.
Immediate response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edwin

Thanks for the reply WD ABAP.
Yes, I did try to use the functionality of Worklist and the URL attachment successfully opened. However, there are some limitation in its functionality as indicated in the link below that opted us to use the SBWP in CRM WEB UI via transaction launcher.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWorklist-AdvancewithDialognotSupported
We don't want to adjust the logic of our existing workflow at this point as described in the above link as it will entails end-to-end testing again. We just encountered this issue when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Hope there is an alternative solution without shifting us to Worklist.
Regards,
Edwin

Error while trying to open an attachment sent through email in smartform

Hi,
My requirement is to send the smartform through email as PDF attachment.I am able to send the mail.But when I try to open the attachment I am getting error as 'Adobe reader could not open the attachment 'advance shipment notification.PDF' because it is either not the supported file type or the file has been corrupted(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was't correctly decoded)'.What does it mean?
Can anyone give me a proper solution for this?
It's very urgent.Useful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,

Hi,
Are you using any webdispatcher or some proxy? Is there any URL filter configured in between?
If yes then I think you have to allow these pages.

I can't open the attachment to a mail. I must open it i FileApp. but it says that there no App installed that open this type of file. What can I do? I've got iPad 2, version 4.3.3 (8J2) My age: 69 and not so good at computers.

I can't open the attachment to a mail. When I'm trying to open it in FileApp, I get the answer: "FileApp doesn't recognise
this file type.Would you like to try to open in.....
     another App
     as text file
     cancel
When I open it it in another App I get the answer:"there are no application installed on your device that can open
this type of file.
When I open it as a text file, it's loading and loading.....forever?
What shall I do?
PS I'm 70 and not good at computers

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

Hello all,
We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Jaap

Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
which side is driving that behaviour.

Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
"The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
Please Try Again."
I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.
