Re: Attachments to incoming mail in Mail not able to be opened second time

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni, 

The sender of the email has not responded to my request for the information you 
asked of me. 

The problem has not re-ocurred so I’ll leave it for the time being.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Graham

 Hi Graham,
 
 Is the received attachment in an encrypted message (check-mark and lock 
 icons at the top of the message)... S/MIME Encrypted Mail?
 I have heard of similar happening in iOS7 with PDF attachments sent via 
 Outlook encrypted message.
 
 It could have something to do with how these 'problem' PDFs were generated.
 How did you open the attachments the first time, what app did you 'Open 
 In'?
 
 I'll give it more thought and get back to you if I can suggest anything 
 useful to try.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Tracking!

Hi Peter.
I and my family all use an app called PrivacyScan.
We activated it each time we finish any internet session.
It takes a few seconds to clean out cookies, history and various other things.
You can set it up to only clear what you want by unchecking some boxes.

This way I always feel confident that I have left nothing behind for the use of 
others.

Try deleting the browser cache - this is normally where web pages store 
information which can persist between browsing sessions.

Sorry, having a seniors's moment - I meant to say - clear cookies.
