OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Possible To Attach File (Embedded In Message) To Mail?
Apr 19, 2012
Is there a way that Mail can work like MS Entourage or Outlook and more professionally attach files to the message? For example when I attach a picture or audio file its always embedded into the message at the bottom or top of the email. Outlook and Entourage do not work that way.
I am trying to send an email with an attached resume to someone but every time I attach the pdf file it appears in the message. I do not want to send that way. I just want them to be able to save and open it.
One IMAP account is intermittently losing all mail in inbox except for one message. After doing opening program the receive wheel spins for a long time, but at this point there are only 170 emails in the inbox because we moved all the rest to the on my mac inbox to try to solve this porblem. There are two accounts, both from the same provider, but one of them takes a long time to receive new mail.  The wheel spins for a long time - each time it gets mail.Â
Several times after finishing receive cycle, all the mail that was in the inbox disappears, except for one. I was able to get the emails to retrn by going into settings>accounts> and changing a random setting and then changing it back the way it was. All settings appear to be correct and match the other other account that is working correctly.Â
There is a new bug that has cropped up in the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard version of Apple Mail, version 4.2. This bug was not present in Leopard's version of Apple Mail. If you drag a single email from Apple Mail out to your desktop, it makes a copy of the email message on your desktop. BUT -- if you drag multiple emails from Apple Mail out to your desktop, Mail does absolutely nothing. This used to be a very quick way to archive and/or export email messages out of Apple Mail, and it worked perfectly fine in Mac OS X 10.5. But you can no longer do this in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Today, I am not able to delete messages, I get this; The message "message name here" could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash On My Mac" The operation couldn't be completed. File exists.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 27 inch core i7, 1TBHD, 4GB Ram
Before updating software (10.6.8), in Mail, clicking a message in the inbox caused the message to appear in its own separate window-- not just in the pane below the inbox. I'm not sure why this function is no longer available. I guess I could delete Preferences (where?) and see if that does it.
I just installed the latest SW update...I think it included a security update. After I rebooted I lost the ability to use the "Entire Message" search in Apple Mail.I double checked my spotlight settings and the mail icon is checked and the privacy tab had nothing in it.Â
I would like to send email attachments as actual attachments rather than embedded in the body of the message. I tried typing "defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -tool yes" in Applications/Utilities/Terminal which I thought had worked before, but no luck now.
I have a number of emails where the person sending it, copy and pasted a photo on the email. I want to take this embedded photo and make it a file with a .jpg extension.I used Preview, Photoshop, iPhoto.
I have often created pdf files and attached them to email. Today I created a letter and made it a pdf. everytime I attach it to an email it becomes the body of the email. No other pdfs do this.
when i use my mac mini desk top, i am not able to attach file to my mails when i am using hotmail. i do not have the same problem using other computer, windows or other mac product. so i know it is the problem of the mac mini. i just started having this problem last couple of months, before that, everything was normal.
I once chose not to display message headers in Mail 4.2 in the menu. Now, I am unable to get them back. I get the long ones, but not the short. How can I restore it? I am also using Letterbox. I tried to disable Letterbox, but the choice "Short Message header" is still nowhere to be seen.
I am stumped as to why I can't figure this out. I have been trying to send an email to someone that needs a picture as an attachment. Every time I click on the attachment icon or button in the menu, it puts the picture in the body of the email. She needs to have it as an attachment that she can download onto her computer. There has to be a way to do this, I am just not figuring it out. Could someone please give me some insight? I have tried saving to a file and attaching it from there, tried view image as an icon, but nothing seems to be working. She also needs it in a bigger file, which I think will be solved once I can attach the file without being in the body of the text. How would I make a bigger file, from 131 KB to say 400 KB?
Once or twice recently I have had the 'Bad gateway' message.  It's only been on the screen when in Apple Community pages.  Prior to these events I have never before met this message.Â
Mail 5.2 (OS 10.7.4) no longer displays embedded images. This happened after I installed an AirportExtreme wireless router. I can send images as attachments, but received mail with images displays blue box with ?. Using "download image" has no effect. Mail/preferences/ has " Display remote images in HTML messages" checked. The answers to similar questions don't seem to apply, or I just don't understand them.
