So my boss upgraded to the iphone 5 with ios 6.0.1, and now when he emails me photos they no longer show as paperclip attachments. I have to copy and past them from the email into paint, then save them as jpegs to use in our work system. Does anyone know why the photos are sent this way now? When he had the 4S, the photos were sent as paperclip attachments and I could save them directly from the email and not have to use paint to convert them.
Is there anyway to fix this so the email will show the photos as paperclip attachments?
Jan 19, 2015 - With Gmail IMAP running through Mac mail. I need to see the paperclip icon in the attachments column for all. I just found a work around.
Hi, could someone please help me with this very simple task? I am trying to send a GIF file from my mac mail to my lotus notes mail account (on windows). File > Attach File seems to actually embed the gif in the body of the email. When it arrives in my lotus notes inbox i see the embedded image but there is no 'attachment'. I could just copy and paste the embedded image but i suspect i would lose some quality. Anyway, why is mac mail embedding and not attaching the file? I have also tried the option to 'send windows friendly attachments' and get the same result.
Sending as plain text also renders it this way (LoNo uses rich text) also tried ctrl-clicking on it to view as icon but still appears embedded in my lono inbox have basically tried all the options suggested in mac help has anyone got any ideas please? This is such a simple task!! Sorry have only been a mac user for a week so still trying to figure stuff out. Click to expand.It's really strange!
It is definitely not coming through to my notes inbox as a separate attachment - it is embedded and because of this there's no option to save or detach it as with a regular attachment. All I can do is copy the image but the problem is then I would have to open a graphics program to paste it and save it again. And I don't have photoshop on that laptop which is why i sent the image to my mac to edit in the first place. The windows laptop is a work one so they have disabled the wireless card and there's no bluetooth either. How else can i get this image transferred? I have sent gifs from outlook (on windows) before and they come through as proper attachments in notes, so i think the problem is on the mac mail side. Such a simple task and it's driving me insane!
Click to expand.Thanks you're a genius I didn't bother to check notes prefs because i've never experienced a problem with sending/receiving attachments from another mail program before. So it seems 'Show in-line MIME images as attachments' needs to be checked in notes preferences, then it actually displays the image file so you can detach it (although you still don't get the paperclip icon in the view). Still doesn't explain why mac mail is sending my attachment as an inline mime image in the first place. No other mail programs do that. Oh well at least I can get back to work now.
What a waste of time this has been. Cheers for your help guys.
