OS X :: Apple Mail Won't Load Attachments?

Apr 27, 2007

Something wierd happened a few days ago. All of a sudden, whenever I try to add an attachment to a message, either by dragging a file or by using the attach button, Mail pinwheels and I have to force Quit it.

How do I reinstall it? I have all the disks and everything...but can I reinstall just one program? Will it still keep all my settings and all that?

OS X :: Apple Mail Splits Content Into Several Attachments

Mar 28, 2008

I am noticing some strange behaviour in the way Apple Mail handles attachments. If you create a new email, type some text, drag an image in your email, type some more text below the email, Apple Mail will attach the image as well as the text below the image as attachments. While this does work properly with other Apple Mail users, this is problematic when sending emails to users of other mail clients (I tested with Microsoft Outlook Web Access; the same happens in Microsoft Outlook itself). Users of other mail clients will then receive an email, containing only the text you typed above the image, while the text you typed below the image will be attached to your mail as a separate attachment. Basically breaking your email. Looking at the RAW email content you can indeed clearly see Apple Mail has cut up the email into seperate attachments. Is there any way to resolve this issue? I read somewhere about a property 'SendWindowsFriendlyAttachments' in com.apple.mail.plist, however that property is not present any more (Apple Mail 3.2). Some images to illustrate the issue: How you compose the email in Apple Mail (3.2): How a recipient will receive the email.

Applications :: Apple Mail Compresses My Attachments?

Aug 2, 2010

I just found out that Apple Mail compresses my attachments.

But there is no image size pop-up window in the lower right corner to change the image size.

How can I make it appear so I can turn off the image compression?

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail Keeps Attachments On Reply

Sep 11, 2014

Just bought a new Mac Pro running Mavericks.  Migrated my life from my old Mac Pro (early 2008) running Mountain Lion.  That's a whole other story, but my problem now is that Mail does not delete attachments when I reply to a message that contained the attachments.  This is new to me, so I wasn't aware of it until I started getting nasty messages from my Internet provider telling me that I had exceeded the maximum allowable message size.  When a client sent me a 10MB document to review and edit, I would reply and attach the edited document to the reply, not knowing that the original 10MB file was still there (down at the bottom of a sometimes lengthy message). 

The old attachment can be manually deleted in the Message tab, but I can't find anything in Preferences or anywhere else that allows me to turn that feature off forever.

I just had to clean-install OS X Lion (10.7.3), I synched my e-mail accounts (Gmail apps account) with Apple Mail (5.3) and some attachments (mainly PDFs and DOCs) are now corrupted when trying to open up in Apple Mail. In the Google Mail web access the corrupted attachments can be opened perfectly.

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail Removing Attachments On Reply

Jun 24, 2014

I am trying to find a way to keep attachments whenever I reply to a message.  I am trying to reply to messages, and keep the attachment in the chain, but for some reason they all get removed (yes, yes, total first world problem, I know...). 

I am using Mail version 7.2.  I have gone under Mail Preferences, as I saw an earlier post reference a setting in Composition, but that does not appear to be an option in 7.2.  I could not find any other options in any of the other preference tabs.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Apple Mail Resizing PDFs And Masking Attachments

Feb 7, 2012

So I designed some art for someone in Illustrator, made a PDF, and sent it onto them in email as an attachment.   They got it in Apple mail.   Immediately they contacted me back.  "The PDF I sent them is the wrong size".  (it was meant to be business card size).    

It seems Apple mail "did them a favor" of showing them the PDF contents inline to their document.   OK no problem there, BUT... 

#1.  It looks wrong size.  When they printed it out on paper, it printed wrong size, adding confusion and delay. 

#2.  Apple Mail actively hid the fact that this was an attachment.  (as opposed to rich-content mail, i.e. a JPEG inline.)  There was no visual indication that it was an attachment, no way to "peel it off" and get to a "save as..." box.   There WAS a paperclip icon (which generally means attachment) but it did something totally different and unrelated.  I couldn't even tell her how to save it to a file.   

I told the person "Just forward it to your publisher on faith that it's correct" but that really doesn't cut it.  Heck I'm not even sure the forward carried the attachment along.  There's just no way to tell.  

So is there a way I can send mail to this person so it is easier to work with? OS X Lion Mail.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Apple Mail Combined With Imap Gmail Not Sending Attachments?

May 6, 2012

I have been working quite happily with Mail and an imap gmail account for a couple of years until recently.  Now I can no longer send attachments and if I try to forward an email that has a bit going on in it like a group-on email or something similar it won't send that either.  I get a message Cannot send message using the server [URL]:(my emailaddress)[URL]Sending the message content to the server failed I have searched for answers all over the net, have tried google help pages that suggest I remove my email address from the outgoing server details but NOTHING works. Today I finally gave up on Apple Mail and tried entourage - same result in that I couldn't send anything with attachements but a different error message. 

I hadn't changed anything when it stopped working and it can't be the settings because every now and then I get an attachment through.  There is lots on the net but I haven't found anything that works or all the stuff I am reading is really old. and also, just to finally drive me over the edge I got sent an email with an attachment today that didn't come through onto my mac.  If I go onto gmail via safari there is my attachment.  In Mail, it doesn't even give me a hint that it's there

Software :: Hidden Attachments - Mail Application On The Mac To Recognize That There Are Attachments In The Email

Jan 11, 2009

I'm using MacOSX and Mac Mail. The cub scouts send a weekly newsletter via Scouttrack. When I view this on the Mac, I cannot see any attachments; it's like they are not there at all. When I view it from Outlook on a PC, it doesn't show the little paper clip, but when I open the email, then I can see that the attachments are there.

Is there any way to get the mail application on the Mac to recognize that there are attachments in the email??

OS X :: How To Change The Way Mail Displays Attachments

Jul 8, 2009

Is there a way to change the way Mail displays attachments? I hate how when attaching certain file types, such as PDF, instead of just showing multiple attachments in a nice little list, it shows you the whole freaking preview of the attachment and you lose track of what file (or type) it even is in the process.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I cannot add an attachment to email using Yahoo mail. Every time I select the file, Yahoo mail begins scanning and it then crashes the browser - happens with any browser and any file.

Applications :: Mail.app Caches Attachments Again?

Feb 27, 2010

I have a problem with Mail.app.

I configured my Gmail using IMAP on mail.app. And i downloaded ALL my mails and attachments, meaning it cached all attachments and emails. It used up 4 GB of my data. I am on a capped bandwidth of 5 GB per month. I thought everything was perfect and suddenly last week....I checked my cap again, and i used 3 gb in 2 days. I checked and it was mail.app downloading my mails again and caching attachments all over again.

Why is this happening, i am scared to use mail.app again, because u never know when it will start caching all my attachments again and i will use up my 4gb in 2 days.

Software :: Sending Attachments In .Mail?

Mar 20, 2009

I am running 10.4.11 with the mail program that is installed which is 2.1.3.

My daughter in college has a MacBook Pro Intel running 10.5.x and uses the college mail program (site).

Every attachment that I send her that as a jpg, she says downloads to her desk top as a .acs ( I believe) which she can't open to view. If she goes to a windows computer with the same college e-mail site she can view them.

Question: what can be done to send/receive these so they can be viewed as jps's on her computer? Would send them as windows friendly attachments help?

I'm guessing that the e-mail site is probably set up for more windows friendly than Mac friendly.

Software :: How To Delete JPG Attachments To Mail

Aug 25, 2010

I have just searched through all the jpeg pictures on the computer (more than 10,000of them) and noticed there were photos that had been attached to emails. These emails had been deleted but the photos still remain in various folders in library/mail/account/ bin or similar. There are hundreds of these folders and sub folders all containing pictures from mail that was deleted. They are from both GMail and .Mac mail. Does anyone know how to ensure these images are deleted when the mail message they are contained in is deleted. I am using Apple Mail, Entourage and Thunderbird but the problem seems to be confined to the way Apple Mail organises mail folders.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Some Pdf Attachments Missing In Mail 5.2

Mar 28, 2012

I fail to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion). When the attachments do not arrive, I see no paperclip in the attachments column. On a recent occasion, a colleague sent me three consecutive emails, each with 1-2 pdf files attached.  The middle one (containing one pdf), shows no attachment in Mail.  However, I know the attachment is there, because if I open it on my iPhone, I see the attachment.  What's more, if I forward the email to myself from the iPhone, I can now see the attachment again. This has happened several times in the past as well.

Intel Mac :: Mail Message With Attachments?

Apr 8, 2012

I use iMacs for work. I often send email messages with attachments using Mail.  Often, when sending email messages to Windows users (they are out there still), they will reply that they cannot open "the second attachment."  The message seems to "pick up" a second apparent attachment, which is generally just a few K in size, and is not part of the original message or attachment.  Unfortunately, though, it tricks the recipient into thinking that there are two attachments and the second one is meaningful  So then they respond and I have to assure them that the second attachment is irrelevant and can be ignored.
