Want attachments as icons

When sending attachments via Mail, why do some show up as an icon and others show up inline. When I'm compsing an e-mail I would like any attachments I add to be represented as an icon that my recipiant can click on an open. Some attachments seem to work that way, others do not. I can't find a setting or anyway to get all attachments to show up as icons.
Can anyone offer help or explain why it can't be done. Using the help feature in Mail has proven to be useless.
Thanks in advance.

That's why I wrote this,
On their end, there isn't anything you can do except go to their computer and tell their email client to display attachments as attachments.
The reason their email client embeds the attachment is because they use a crappy email client, likely Outlook. It was designed to work solely with an Exchange server, then modified to handle what they call, "internet email."
You can zip the files and attach with whatever formatting you want, or you can try using plain text, with attachments added to the end of message.  That works with some versions of Outlook.

  • I DON'T want attachments to show in the text of the Mail email

    I DON'T want attachments to show in the text of the email.
    My company just switched over to Mail today. Every time we send an email with a .pdf attachment, it shows the attachment in the text body of the email. We don't want that to happen. How do I prevent this from happening?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Mail 2.1.1

    You can't.
    The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default - sending and receiving.
    You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but the icon for the attached file will remain in the body of the message. Regardless, depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app when receiving such attachments) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
    This was a minor adjustment for me at first but I now prefer such attachments being displayed inline since I have confirmation that I selected the correct file or file names as attachments before the message is sent.

  • How do I show a logo in my signature but show attachments as icons?

    I want to include my company logo in my signature but have an attachment show only as an icon.  In terminal I set
    Open Terminal in Applications>Utilities and paste this in. Then hit return.
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
    To reverse the setting, change the 1 to a 0.
    which solved my problem with attachments with icons .... but also set my log in my sig to an icon. How do I beat this! Thanks!

  • Email attachments as icons

    Is this the only real solution for email attachments as icons: download and install the attachment tamer plug-in: http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer

    If you would rather not see the attachment preview by default when you add attachements to your Mail documents:
    Launch Terminal, and then type or paste the following command after the prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Once you do that, quit Mail and relaunch it, or just start it up if it wasn’t running already. Now, when you look at messages with attachments, you’ll just see an icon. Double click on it as per usual to bring it up in the associated application, like Preview or Word.
    To change it back to the way it was, simply run the following command:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool no
    When you relaunch Mail again, you’ll see attachments with their visual previews again.

  • I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • Want an iTunes icon for desktop

    I want an iTunes icon for the desktop; but when I look in the iTunes folder under Start Menu/All Programs/iTunes, all that has in there is iTunes.exe.  When I double click on it, it tries to install.
    Where can I get (or how do I make) a shortcut for desktop?

    =bg= wrote:
    when I right click, 'create shortcut' is not shown.
    Is that the iTunes icon in your Start menu, that you're clicking on rather than your iTunes.exe, bg?
    In Computer, open Local disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit Vista, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Vista, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "Create Shortcut".
    (If you have "Hide extensions for known file types" engaged in your View options, and you can't see the .exe extension, be sure click on the iTunes file in the "iTunes" folder that has the iTunes icon. (The other one is your iTunes.dll, not your iTunes.exe.)

  • I want to import icons when I create an short cut

    When you create a sortcut to a web page, the icon attached to the shorcut is the standard Firefox icon. With IE when you do this invariably the icon is that of the website which makes browsing the shortcuts much easier. Is this due to a Firefox setting or a setting on the PC. Any help most welcome.
    Thanks

    IE can do that because it is part of the OS and MS can easily add extra features.<br />
    In Firefox you have to add the site's favicon yourself if you do not want the generic icon.
    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • Force Mail (Yosemite) to display all attachments as icons all the time?

    In Yosemite, I need to get rid of Mail's previews of attachments that appear in outgoing email as the previews seem to cause problems for some of my mail recipients. How can I force Mail to display all attachments as icons? Currently the only way is to right click each attachment every time - it's a waste of time to do this all day long.

    Mail only previews single-page documents. They should be simply an attachment to the recipient. If they are problematic, then be sure you select the Edit menu, Attachments > Always send Windows friendly .... If there is still a problem then compress the attachment before sending it - CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Compress from the context menu.

  • Mac Mail - Being able to set attachments as Icons by default.

    Hello All,
    Garoolgan again with yet another little problem with the Mac Software.
    I've rung Mac support and been told that this is impossible to do.
    I send a lot of attachments with my Mac Mails.
    If I click right on the attachment to set it to 'View as an Icon" then "save" the email as a draft and open it again the image or document comes up, not the icon. In the same way the person receiving the email finds a whole "pile" of files at the bottom instead of a neat list of icons.
    Thanks for Reading..... and I hope those Mac programmers read these messages too!
    Best wishes to all
    Garoolgan

    Icons can be cut and pasted onto almost any item on the Macintosh. As for how to apply them, here is the most straight forward way:
    On your desktop, select the icon you would like to use
    Select “Get Info” (command-I) from the File Menu for that icon
    Click on the icon in the upper left of the window
    Choose “Copy” (command-C) from the Edit menu
    Close the window
    Select the file/folder to which you want to apply that icon
    Select “Get Info” (File menu) for that icon
    Click on the icon in the upper left of the window
    Select “Paste” (command-V) from the Edit Menu
    You’re done!
    Please keep in mind that certain icons such as the Finder icon or the Trash Can icon can only be changed with helper apps like our very own CandyBar utility. Please visit the CandyBar homepage at Panic.com to learn more.

  • Sending attachments as icons and not an immediately viewable picture.

    Hi folks
    How can I send an attachment as a folder +icon + file size etc. At the present time when I attach a photo it shows up as a big photo on the email. I want it to show up UNOPENED as a document etc ie jpeg icon + size etc. How can I change this?
    TIA
    Wokka

    Basically, this function is not controllable by you -- it is the recipients' email client that will elect or not elect to View in Place (also called Inline View). Although you are seeing the attached photo files with View in Place, they are nonetheless true attachments, and many email clients receiving the message will show the Icon and size, and some will both do that, and provide View in Place.
    Don't sweat it -- if you don't want to see as you continue to Compose, Control-click on any file that is viewing in place, and choose View as Icon. But this has no influence on how sent.
    If you zip, then recipients will be forced to Unzip, will at first not see the icon you are talking about.

  • View attachments as icons

    I have a simply question. What can i do for viewing attachments in mail as icons?
    I have the same in panther and in tiger. Deactivating the preference seems haven't any effect. Can anyone help me?
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    All image type and smaller PDF attachments (1-2 pages) appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when attached to a message which cannot be turned off.
    If preferred, you can control-click on the viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon.
    Regardless, such attachments are sent as true attachments to the message and depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, the attachments may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened (such as the Mail.app) or as attached files which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
    The preference pane you are referring to is for HTML received that contains embedded images and/or objects that must be downloaded from a remote server to be viewed and you do not want to automatically render all HTML received. This has no effect on receiving image/picture files that are attached to a message.
