Trying to add an attachment to an email crashes Thunderbird, why

I,ve been using Thunderbird successfully on my HP Pavilion p6060a (Vista) including attaching documents (pdf and/or Word) to outgoing emails via the notice that appears at the end of the draft email when the words "attach" or "attached" are inserted. However, in the past few days this facility has not worked, and when attempted, leads to a "crash" of Thunderbird. I've tried uninstalling Thunderbird and reinstalling it but it still doesn't help. I've also sent off several reports of the crashes to Mozilla with no response. Help!

It works OK now. Earlier today I received an email with an attached slide show. I downloaded the slide show, watched it, and closed the email. Afterwards I tried to create an email with an attached photo and it worked!
I used to do Fortran programming on a 7090, but it seems that the home computers containing all sorts of software from who knows where and with who knows what faults, do not always work as they are supposed to. Whatever happened to logical certainty?
Thanks anyway for your help. Jim

How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

You can right click or command-click on the image in the email and select "view as icon".
You can change the default behavior of Mail.app so that it always shows the attachment as the icon:
open a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
at the prompt, type in this (it must be exact, or copy and paste it in if you have trouble typing things precisely):
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Then hit return.
To revert to the previous default (where the attachment is visible in-line), you just enter the same command with "no" instead of "yes" at the end.
In either case, however, how the viewer of the email sees the attachment (either as an icon or in-line) depends on how their email client is set up, not on how you send it.

How do I add an attachment to an email?

You can attach some items in an email by tapping where you want to insert the item. A choice to attach a photo will come up along with Select, Cut, Paste, etc.
Other items like PDFs or other documents can be attached by using the app that the document was created or edited with and using the share feature. The Share icon is a square with up pointing arrow.

How do you add an attachment to an email (document, photo, contact, etc.) from the mail application?

I want to reply to an email and add an attachment. How do you do this on email accounts other than iCloud Mail?

The only things that you are able to email using the software that came with the phone are photos, videos, contact information, notes, and links. Documents are not able to be saved to your iPhone unless you are using a downloaded application or have them in an email. To send an email containing a photo, contact, etc. you must go into the application and click share->email.
A workaround for saving documents without the need for a downloaded application would be taking a screen shot (pressing the lock button and home button simultaneously.) This is not the best choice for all cases, but may be for some documents such as word documents.

Getting blocked trying to add an Exchange Account (Corporate email)

Hi, I am trying to set up my new Droid Maxx for my work email, but when it hits the expected stop to add encryption, it instead displays a message that encryption is required by my IT department. Um, I KNOW! Is there a setting, or something I am missing to complete the process? I've successfully done this on my older Droid 2 and Droid 4, so it's not like I don't know how ... just stumped on this one!

MikeK3,
Our sincere apologies, you are unable to setup your corporate email account. Let's get these emails back in business. Do you have the corporate email feature setup on your account? Was it removed when you activated the new phone? Also do you have the encryption that is required by your IT team?

I just set up ePrint and tried to send an attachment in an email it doesn't print attachment

I just set up my ePrint and tried to send an email attachment to my printer email address and it only prints the email page not the attachment.

Hi mamacathie!
What type of attachment is it that you are trying to send? Also what is the size of the file?
This will help us get a better idea as to why your attachment is not printing.

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.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

I'm trying to print an attachment to an email. How do I do that?

I just opened an Adobe account. I don't see how to get my file and open it.

That is called "TILING", as in making tiles out of the image. Epson printers have a tiling function.
1.— We need to know the dimensions of your image, i.e. so many pixels wide by so many pixels high;
2.— We need to know the final width and height you want or need the image to be once printed on paper, in inches or cm.
From your post that intended size seems to be 0.75 m x 1.5 m.
3.— From what distance is the print to be viewed? That's very relevant in order to figure out the image resolution in ppi you're going to need.
If memory serves, the DIN A4 format is 210mm x 297 mm, or 21 cm x 29.7 cm which works out to 8.3 in x 11.7 in. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
That means you'll need 4 rows of A4 sheets, each row being 5 A4 sheets wide, for a total of 20 A4 sheets
4.— Can your printer do borderless prints?
5— How are you going to put the individual sheets together? This is to figure out if you need some bleed or overlap.
Once that is established, it's a straightforward procedure, using the tutorial linked below.
