Lion apple mail attachments missing
Macbook Pro 2.53 Intel Core2Duo Lion 10.7.4 Having checked the Wamug archive, - there was a thread from Steven K in Aug2011 around this topic, but there did not seem a conclusive solution. My problem: Attachments inconsistently don't appear although the Mail programme indicates via icons that there is an attachment, and I know there should be an attachment! Only by going to the webmail account, can I actually view and then cleanly download the attachment. It seems an inconsistent issue and seems to occur across email accounts. I have rebuilt all email accounts, and email folders within mail. There seems to be an increasing incidence of this. Online Apple support forums indicate that others are also experiencing similar issues without successful solutions. Apple seem very quiet. Any suggestions?

Re: Lion apple mail attachments missing
Hi Mike, Not all attachments will show in the body of an email. Is there a 'Save' button showing in the header of the email? if you hover over a particular attachment, you can get more details. Depending on several variables, including the message format, the type(s) of attachment, and your preference settings, the attachments may also appear in the body of your message—either as icons or, for certain graphics formats, as inline graphics. You mention you are seeing an icon ... is that in the body of the message? Hover your pointer over an attachment icon in the body of the message for more information, including the full filename and its downloaded status. Control-click a single attachment for a contextual menu of options. To view a supported graphic in the body of the message, choose View in Place.

Of course, with many files the option is not available, since View as Icon is the only choice. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

I hate to say it but I found Mail to be one of the worst bits of Apple SW I've used because of it's handling of attachments. Most embarrassing, especially when sending attachments as part of a job application... I never did notice any difference between Windows Friendly Attachments and not. At first I just used webmail to send them but this defeats the purpose of using a client in the first place so I now use Thunderbird. The only drawback is now I cant sent mail with a keystroke;) Cheers Paul - who has pre-ordered Port Holes in his coffin.
