iPad:access mail attachments
I created a document in Pages and exported it as aWord document to a colleague for appraisal. He said he had sent it back with comments, the comments being linked to the appropriate point of insertion in the text. I received his response by email and took the email using my iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1; Pages 1.7.1). I double clicked on the document image in his email and it opened in what I assumed (perhaps incorrectly), that the document was opened in Pages. No changes were visible !! I downloaded the email on my iMac, double clicked the attachment, and it opened in Pages with the changes clearly marked. Because the promo for Pages stated tracking was now part its attributes I assumed (not again!!), that the Pages document would show tracking. Is there an alternative way to access an attachment on iPad so that I know I am using pages, not an iOS text application, and perhaps see the recommended changes? Advice appreciated.

Re: iPad:access mail attachments
Hi Merv, On your iPad If you do not want the attachment to open in Quick Look, just tap and hold your finger on the attachment. A pop-up menu will appear with a number of button options. Tapping on ‘Quick Look’ will open the file in the standard viewer. Tap on ‘Open In “app name” to open the attachment in a pre-selected other app. Tapping on ‘Open In…’ will show you a new menu with buttons. Each button has an apps icon and name next to it. Tap on a button to open the attachment in the required app. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 17/02/2013, at 8:24 PM, Merv Bond m...@iinet.net.au wrote: I created a document in Pages and exported it as aWord document to a colleague for appraisal.

Re: iPad:access mail attachments
Hi Ronni Worked a treat. Now opened all sorts of possibilities with tracking of changes being available in the latest iPad version of Pages and the ability to export as a Word document with a high level of confidence in compatibility. Thank you. Merv On 17/02/13 8:36 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Merv, On your iPad If you do not want the attachment to open in Quick Look, just tap and hold your finger on the attachment.

Saving Mail attachments
I'm using OS 10.7.4 and Mail. Saving attachments to emails I receive and which I open in Preview frustrates me - If I select Save As, nothing seems to happen. But if I select Export, I can then select the folder that I want to save the document in. What mindset ) (or way of thinking) would think that export means Save to the folder of your choice on your own computer? There is no logical connection that I can think of between saving and sending off somewhere by way of international trade (which is what export means to me).

Click on the 'Save' button in the email in the resulting window select the folder you wish to save the attachment to. Or 'Control-Click' on the image in your message you receive a few other choices: Open Attachment, Open with, Quick look Attachment, Save Attachment, Save to Downloads Folder, View in place, Copy Image. Or you can drag the attachment out of the email into a folder of your choice.

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.

Re: Mail attachments to PC
Chris, I have this issue with Mail also when it comes to single-page image files. I'm not sure why, but a couple of workarounds: Right-click and Compress the image file, ie. convert to a zip file, before attaching. This usually works, although there's a chance that the recipient's mail filters treat the zip file as suspicious. Some corporates don't allow incoming zip files at all. If sending a single page image file in a format which does handle multiple pages, such as pdf of tiff, add a blank page (Preview can handle this) so that you send a two-page document to the recipient. Happy to hear of easier workarounds and some insight into the underlying cause.

Re: Mail attachments to PC
I have exactly the same issue. I zip my files and send. Then ask them to email me back to check they have them. It's only an issue with Jpgs. I think it just standard for Microsoft programs to imbed all RGB jpgs. Don't think there is any other workarounds. I'd also be grateful to know other ways.

If sending a single page image file in a format which does handle multiple pages, such as pdf of tiff, add a blank page (Preview can handle this) so that you send a two-page document to the recipient. Happy to hear of easier workarounds and some insight into the underlying cause.

Re: Mail attachments from external drive
Hi Peter, Where do I start ? Perhaps first I should explain that the Primary Purpose of the USB port on the Time Capsule is to allow users to connect an External Backup drive to the Time Capsule in order to Archive its contents, using the Airport Utility App. This will activate a process in the Time Capsule controller that will transfer data from its internal drive to the external drive over the USB connection, at its maximum speed. In other words, a backup of the backups on the Time Capsule. Or for connecting a USB shared Printer. Also USB drives attached to the TC tend to spin down after about 1 minute of inactivity, hence you noticing the USB drive was not spinning. How is the USB Drive formatted? It should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do you have File Sharing enabled on the USB Drive? Airport Utility - Disks - File Sharing - Enable File Sharing Also are you using Airport Utility v5.5 (which is only available on the Disc that came with TC). I think I remember you have a Dual-Band 802.11n only (5GHz)-802.11b/g/n) Network. When you go to attach the files into an email, I would imagine you are copying the files from the Networked USB Drive, wirelessly through Time Capsule back to your MacBook. If this is what happens ... it is going to be twice as long as if you copied the files directly to the MacBook (Desktop), or if you directly connected the USB drive to your MacBook. I'll give it some more thought, if I come up with a better solution, I'll let you know.

RE: Mail attachments from external drive
Hi Ronnie, I have read your note and now see what you're saying. I can't fathom why I would have an external drive attached to the TC if all I was able to use it for was for backing up of backup files on the TC. I have the external drive formatted as FAT32 (albeit with the 4GB file size limitation) deliberately for the purpose of having Windows compatibility of my other (shhh) Windows laptop attached to the network. I share files between the two computers in this way. That sharing part works very reliably. I have got a printer configuration just like yours not coincidentally (an Epson wireless ready printer) set up wirelessly between TC and printer (no cables between the two) and this too works really well. File sharing for the external drive is set to Enabled and the Summary tab under Airport Utility quotes version 7.5 as was installed from the disc supplied with the TC new in December 2009. I am set to 802.11n 5GHz only as well. I just did a trial experiment too by initially forcing the external drive awake from the Finder and opening a random file on the external drive to prove it had a pulse PRIOR to attempting to do an Attach to a new email within Mail. When it was 'wide awake', the Attach command worked fine for Mail. I would sooner have the issue of making sure it was awake prior to attaching than to loose the Windows compatibility and file sharing ability so I suppose I will have to leave it this way. Another thought, if I had a powered Hub attached to the USB of the TC with two external drives in the hub, and one of the drives was FAT32 and the other was MacOS Extended with some synching process between the two externals, would that facilitate my obscure requirements? I look forward to any further to any other tips you may have to my situation. Regards Peter...

RE: Mail attachments from external drive
Ok, thanks Ronni for the significant time you have put into this for me. I don't want to 'milk' you and I do really appreciate your comprehensive and very meaningful articulation of issues and best resolution approach. I will check the Airport utility version per instructions here. Once again invaluable knowledge from you. Now that I am aware of the limitations of the USB connected drive, I can manage the accessing of the content on it more reservedly. My very sincere thanks. Regards Peter From: wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au [mailto:wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au] On Behalf Of Ronda Brown Sent: Friday, 12 March 2010 9:18 AM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Re: Mail attachments from external drive Hi Peter, I said the Primary Purpose of the USB port on the Time Capsule is to allow users to connect an External Backup drive to the Time Capsule in order to Archive its contents, using the Airport Utility App. You can use it for other purposes, but be aware of its limitations with it being connected by USB to Time Capsule. I strongly recommend, if your Data is important to you, and you are serious about backing up and protecting your Data on your computers, that you don't rely solely on Time Machine backups. I wrote an article in September 2009 titled MY BACKUP STRATEGY. In it I explain that a good Backup Strategy consists of three parts, and what my Backup Strategy is. If you think it would be helpful to you, email me off-list and I will give you my website Username password, so you can download it. File sharing for the external drive is set to Enabled and the Summary tab under Airport Utility quotes version 7.5 as was installed from the disc supplied with the TC new in December 2009. The Version 7.5 refers to your Time Capsule, not Airport Utility.app. Open Airport Utility, under Airport Utility in the Menu bar 'About Airport Utility' will give you the version, it should be v5.5 (550.29). The Time Machine Schedule Problem: Time Machine saves hourly backups for 24 hours, daily backups for a month, and weekly backups until your disk is full. On the surface, that seems reasonable, but if you look at the details, there's a catch. Time Machine makes a new backup every hour that your computer is on and awake. With each run, Time Machine also deletes the hourly backup from 25 hours ago, unless it was the first backup of that particular day. Thus you always have hourly backups for the last 24 hours, as well as a single hourly backup (i.e., from just the last hour of the day) for each of the past 30 days. After a month, Time Machine deletes the oldest of the daily backups, but it preserves the first daily backup from each week as long as there's disk space available. Now picture this: at 8:30 PM on Monday you create an important file. When Time Machine runs next (at, say, 9:00 PM) it backs up that file-so far so good. Now, at 9:30 PM, you delete the file, either intentionally or otherwise. No problem: it's still in your backup. Of course, none of the hourly backups for the next 24 hours includes your file, because it had already been deleted, so the only copy Time Machine has is in that first hourly backup. At 10:00 PM on Tuesday, Time Machine erases that backup from 25 hours ago-the only one, from 9:00 on Monday, that contained your important file. Because that file wasn't in the last hourly backup of that day, it won't be there tomorrow if you suddenly realise you need it, even though Time Machine backed it up yesterday! So there are ways that files can fall through the cracks. Time Machine backs them up, sure, but then, because of the way it deletes old backups, it may remove your essential file from the backup before you need it. (And that's true, by the way, when deleting old daily and weekly backups too.) Plus, if a file exists for less than an hour, and therefore isn't around for a single backup, Time Machine won't help at all. The lesson? First, supplementing your Time Machine backups is a good idea. And second, get in the habit of hanging on to files for at least 24 hours before you delete them!

But it displays in the body of the message.

Mail attachments
Where does Mail store incoming attachments? With attachments that I am interested in I Save them and file them. Similarly I file a very large amount of the incoming mail. Older emails that have attachments, when reopened, still have the attachments available, because I have set the unedited downloads to be kept. My Mail folder has a folder called Mail Downloads showing 0K contents. Are they in there as invisible files? There must be a huge whack of attachments somewhere, but where are they?

Re: Mail attachments
Hi Severin, I would have to check to see if I am still correct, but I think I previously pointed out that they are stored as part of the original messages. This is because Apple stores e-mail in its original Internet format (which by definition has the attachments embedded within the body of the e-mail).

Hi all, I have a problem with attachments that are sent to me via email. If more than one file is attached then they arrive at my end combined as a win.dat file??? The problem seems to be intermittent and to date only involves files created by Microsoft Office on a windoze PC. I am running system 10.3.9 and using entourage 10.1.6 my ISP is iinet.

Re: Mail attachments.
TNEF's enough. ttp://www.joshjacob.com/macdev/tnef/ From the website: TNEF's Enough TNEF's Enough allows Macs to read and extract files from Microsoft TNEF stream files. The files are usually received by SMTP based e-mail programs from Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook users. The SMTP based e-mail program will usually receive either a MIME attachment named winmail.dat or a MIME attachment with the type application/ms-tnef. The file is a rich text (or MAPI) message that is sent from Outlook to Exchange. When Exchange sends the message to an outside server it writes the MAPI message as a MIME attachment. The unfortunate side effect of this plan is if the Outlook user has someone in their address book as a person who can receive Rich Text then the user will receive the TNEF file whether the user uses Outlook or not. TNEF's Enough is a freeware application. Download the version that best suits your Mac.

Where does Mail store attachments? If I Save an attachment I can put it where I wish, if it is a picture it goes onto another hard drive. Subsequently the attached picture still seems to show up in the email when it is reopened even a long time later. In the Mail Preferences setting I have set to Delete unedited downloads when the email is deleted so presumably there must be a huge cache of downloads kept secretly somewhere by Mail. A search of all the obvious places has not revealed this. Can anyone enlighten me on this, please?

Severin Crisp Hi Severin, Generally speaking, the messages are stored as .emix files, in a Mail folder located: Macintosh HD:Users:username:Library:Mail Message enclosures or attachments are stored in a separate Mail Downloads folder at the same level. The Mail Downloads folder is not the primary location of attachments to emails -- attachments reside in the mailbox (including Inbox), thus within the Messages folder of the mailbox, and generally are only seen in the downloads folder if opened by another application other than mail. The preference for how long a copy stays in the Downloads folder can be set in Mail Preferences/General. Cheers, Ronni
Re: Mail attachments
Hi Severin, On 05/01/06, Severin Crisp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where does Mail store attachments? Are you using Panther or Tiger, and are you using an IMAP or POP account? There is no such thing as an e-mail attachment -- it's just a convenient illusion. With POP messages, Apple Mail tends to store mail messages in their original, encoded format (i.e., in the exact format in which they arrived). This means that the attachment illusion has not yet occurred. That is, the attachment is actually an integrated part of the whole mail message. When you delete a message, the attachment will therefore disappear also. With an IMAP account, you mail server can provide the ability to download MIME-type attachments separately. In this caes, Apple Mail stores the partial contents separately (i.e., one partial file for the encoded message body and another partial file for the encoded attachment). In either case, there are two locations to look in (although this will depend on your version of Mail and whether you are using POP or IMAP0. One location is Home Library Mail Downloads (where decoded attachments are stored as standard double-clickable files) and also Home Library Mail [acct folder] Message [...emlxparts] (where the unencoded versions are stored). I can't remember how Delete unedited downloads works. You may find the decoded attachments have been deleted from Mail Downloads but still exist in original encoded form inside Mail [acct folder] Message. James

Re: Mail attachments
Tony, if you're using Mail in 10.4.x, are you trying to attach the Attach button in Mail's main window? You need to bring up a new message window, then select Customize Toolbar... from the View menu to be able to select the Attach button. If you're already doing this and its not available, then something has gone astray and you may need to reinstall Mail.

Hi all, Some time ago I raised the problem of not being able to send e-mail attachments using Eudora 5.1.1 under OSX 10.1.5 via Telstra cable connection. The only replies I received inferred that I didn't know how to attach a document etc to a e-mail etc. For those that are interested, the problem is caused by (guess who) Telstra. The following is the latest news on http://whirlpool.net.au/ Apple Mac users angry over Bigpond mail server problems Dan Warne | Wednesday, 4 pm Telstra has acknowledged its outgoing mail servers have problems with customers using Bigpond Cable with an Apple Mac. Apple Mac customers using Bigpond Cable (not ADSL) have been complaining for almost a year that emails with attachments upload excruciatingly slowly -- sometimes as slowly as 30KB every five minutes. Telstra has drawn a blank in trying to resolve the problem with customers. One support representative said Windows computers must be setup with dynamically adjusting MTU to fix the problem, but said I do not know how Apple config their O/S. The problem appears to be related to how Telstra's SMTP servers interact with Macintoshes, since customers who route their Macs through a PC have no problems sending mail on the PC, but still have problems sending mail on the Mac. Some customers have worked around the problem by setting up their own SMTP mail servers. Go to forum Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
