How to view files attached to draft e-mail in mac mail How can a Mac mail user see the name(s) of the file(s) attached to an email that he/she has drafted, before sending the email? I'm trying to send an email with attachments from my Mail (Mac ventura). Iv'e composed the email, clicked on the paperclip, and selected the files to attach. I now want to double check that I have actually attached the right files. They are password protected PDFs. But nothing appears in the mail. Maybe if I'm lucky I see a vertical line suggesting there is something there, but certainly not the file names!!! My email is ready to be sent, but I can't see what I'm sending! How do I force Apple Mail to show the names of the attachemnts in my draft email? With Outlook, or any other email program or mail on Android phones you can see attachments. Why would Apple not show them by default? Thanks for your help. Guern

how to remove a Mail attachment before sending I'm using Mail in Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave). On more than one occasion I have added an attachment to an email I am composing in Mail, and realized before sending that I wanted to remove that attachment BEFORE sending. I have been unable to do so, and a quick search of the 'net has not found an answer. There is an item under the Message menu titled "Remove attachments" but that is grayed out before the message is sent. And the "undo" does not work either. My only workaround has been to copy the text of the message and create a new message to the intended recipient(s), then paste the text back and send without the offending unwanted attachment. Is there an easier way to do this? TIA Caroline
