Zip file attachments renamed to Mail Attachment since upgrading to SL

Does not appear to happen with jpeg files. This happens with both new emails that have .zip attachments and emails previously received. I can rename the file and add the .zip extension and get at its contents (Microsoft Access database file). Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? This did not occur before upgrading to Snow Leopard.

If the MacBook that is not using SL and this Mac are both on and receiving the message, then will the message on the MacBook remain named correctly, but with the Mac using Mail 4.1, it is not? (I think this is what you are reporting, but just making sure.)
Yes
Is there any SPAM or Anti-virus software on this computer?
No
Using each computer, open such a message, click on View in the menubar, place the cursor on Message in the resulting pull-down and choose Raw Source. Observe the attachment header for this file on each computer, and report.
Will check this when I get home tonight.

One more thing that I found interesting. I used Time Machine to look at older emails that had been backed up and all their attachments (the .zip ones) have been renamed to Mail Attachment as well.

Mail attachments - Attachments are being renamed to "Mail Attachment"

I have MacBook Air and am using the Apple Mail client to connect via IMAP to our company Exchange 2003 server. When I receive an email with an attachment(PDF, DOC, XLS, JPG) every attachment gets renamed to Mail Attachment (With no extension at the end). When I try to open the attachment the MAC OS doesn't understant how to open, even when I download the attachment it appears as Mail Attachment -##.
I'm running Version 10.8.4
Please help!

try the following command: Mailbox menu / Rebuild
please note, Mail.app is unable to display attachments file accented characters in filename properly,
and the filename becomes garbage. Apple knows about this BUG for at least 5 years, without providing a fix.

How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
Thanks

I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

Problems with specifying File Extension of E-Mail attachment

Hi everybody
I have a problem that seems to be so simple that it almost drives me crazy that I cannot find a solution for it.
I need to send the content of an internal table (some lines) as a mail attachment to a specified mail address.
The format should be normal ASCII, so when I open it with any text editor (e.g. Notepad), I want to have all my lines there (including CR/LF).
The problem now is - The extension of this mail attachment must be ".key", so the attached file should have the name "L_12345.key" (for example).
For E-Mailing I use FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".
This part works fine, also the attachment part works in general. (I receive the mail and I receive the attachment).
BUT I get either an attachment with the name "L_12345.txt" or "L_12345.key.txt" and in correct format, or I get an attachment "L_12345.key", where the name is correct but format is wrong (no CR/LF - everything in one line).
Example:
=======
Attachment-Content should be:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Name of Attachment should be: L_12345.key
What I tried:
TEST 1 **
Declare Attachment in Packing list. ..
ls_packing_list-transf_bin   = ' '.
ls_packing_list-head_start   = 1.
ls_packing_list-head_num     = 0.
ls_packing_list-body_start   = 7. "Startline of Attachment
ls_packing_list-body_num     = 3. "No of Attachment lines
ls_packing_list-doc_type     = 'RAW'.
ls_packing_list-doc_size     = 3 * 255.
ls_packing_list-obj_name     = 'ATT01'.
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345'   "Attachment name
APPEND ls_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.txt
==> File as I need it (ASCII with CR/LF), but extension wrong
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
TEST 2 **
Same as TEST 1, but with:
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345.KEY'   "Attachment name
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.KEY.txt
==> File as I need it (ASCII with CR/LF), but extension wrong
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
TEST 3 **
Declare Attachment in Packing list. ..
ls_packing_list-transf_bin   = ' '.
ls_packing_list-head_start   = 1.
ls_packing_list-head_num     = 0.
ls_packing_list-body_start   = 7. "Startline of Attachment
ls_packing_list-body_num     = 3. "No of Attachment lines
ls_packing_list-doc_type     = 'KEY'.
ls_packing_list-doc_size     = 3 * 255.
ls_packing_list-obj_name     = 'ATT01'.
ls_packing_list-obj_descr    = 'L_12345'. "Attachment name
APPEND ls_packing_list TO lt_packing_list.
==> Result: Attachment Filename = L_12345.KEY
==> File Format is wrong:
    Line 1          Line 2     Line3
I have tried several other Extensions (DOC_TYPE), it seems, that the File format is only correct with "RAW", but it seems with "RAW" SAP adds ".txt" as extension to the filename.
Does anyone know how I can achieve having an e-mail attachment with multiple text lines and name "<anyname>.key"
Any help (if possible with example code ?) would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
Harald

Prevent Zip File Attachments

I have an atachment interface on my form that allows the user to click a custom button labeled, "Attach New File". The script opens a browse window and the user is able to select and attach a file they select. I would like to prevent the user from being able to attach .zip files because Acrobat will not open them. How can I test the file they select and not attach it if it is a .zip file? Here's the script:

Thank you for your reply. It's interesting that when you drag and drop a .zip file into the atachments pane a pop-up message appears but not when you attach the same file using script.
Regarding your suggeation, any idea what the script would be to "...read the incoming file header"?
Thanks

I am having trouble downloading zip files from an e-mail to Firefox and want to know if Firefox is where I should be downloading the zip file.

I have never downloaded a file from an e-mail, so I am "dancing in the dark" on this. When I download the file from the e-mail, I cannot determine what support engine I should place it in. One choice given me was Microsoft Work Words but when I select it, I can go no further.

I have the same configuration:
10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

Japanese characters in a UTF-8 encoded .txt file are not showing up correctly since upgrade to 4.0

I frequently use Firefox to look at Japanese language UTF-8 .txt files on my local disk. Since the 4.0 upgrade the Japanese text looks like this "ç‰¢ç„ ã‚ã†ã”ã". I've played with various options but nothing seems to work.

Fixed the problem. I set the default encoding to UTF-8 under content--->fonts & colors--->advanced. Doesn't seem to have a negative effect on other pages either.

Mail problems since upgrading to security 2015-002

Since upgrading to security 2015-002 I cannot send or receive emails. I receive an email alert saying the default ports timed out. Prior to the upgrade everything was fine. At present I am deleting all my email setting and reinstalling them but this only works for a short period before timing out again. Does anyone have a solution to this problem

There doesn't appear to be anything there to be causing that problem I have included a snapshot of the security window. Thank you for your help

Read multi-tabbed excel file attachments from Sender Mail Adapter.

There is a need to read excel attachments from incoming email to a
mailbox. We know we can use Sender Mail adapter to easily read .xml, .txt
or .csv attachments.
For excel attachments we know from SDN that you have to write
adapter modules to handle excel. However the excel file we need to read has
multiple worksheets(tabs) and data may be contained in any of them.
Is it possible to use SAP XI Mailsender adapter to read such a file as an attachment? What kind of module development would we need for this? I am not much of a Java programmer so examples or links to other documentation would help.
Thanks,
Rudra

Rudra,
Use Java Mapping. There is a free java api available called JExcelAPI to achieve this.
Shabarish's blog describes about this. This might be helpful to you

Mail Signatures, Folder Organization, Notification and Attachments not working the same since upgrade to Mavericks

Hi All,
Normally very quick to do so, I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Mavericks based on so many issues being reported with Mail + Gmail.
Previously Apple released a fix for these issues and I still waited a while. This weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and Mail is definitely not working as I’d expect it.
Some of the things I notice include:
1) My saved mail folders, previously in alphabetical order, are now in reverse alphabetical order and dragging them to be in a different order has no effect
2) Previously when I clicked on a message and pressed Message > Remove Attachments the message would reappear in my inbox within a second or two, without the attachment. Now, the message simply disappears.
3) The little red icon no longer appears in the dock when a new message arrives
4) For my various accounts, signatures do not appear/disappear as I select a different From account (each of my accounts has different signatures).
Does anyone have thoughts on any of these items?
Thanks,

Not an answer, but a repeat ...
I too have problem (2) -- Remove Attachment now makes the email in question disappear (in fact moving it to Archive).
Help would be appreciated.
(Have just moved from Lion to Mavericks.)

Help mail nightmare since upgrading to tiger!!!!!

Since I upgraded to tiger I have had nothing but trouble with mail. When I open mail there is no message viewer, I have to create a new one everytime and it is always blank - there are folders but no messages. When i try to get new mail it looks but gets nothing - it is online and I've used connection doctor to check. When i use activity viewer it says it is checking with the server but still nothing appears. The only way I can check my emails is to directly access my .mac account where all my mail is found but for some reason it won't download with mail. Also when I try to quit mail it won't and I have to force quit! Please help, I'm really stuck and its a nightmare!
Mac OS X (10.4)

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
0. Quit Mail if it’s running.
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.
