E-Mail attachments

Hi there No idea.at,

We understand you'd like to see an icon instead of preview for an attachment in the Mail app, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.

Take a look at it here: Add attachments to emails in Mail on Mac

Specifically, check out the detail below:

"To display an attachment (such as a one-page PDF document or an image) as an icon, Control-click the attachment in your message, then choose View as Icon. To show the attachment again, Control-click it, then choose View in Place."

Regards.

How can I adjust Apple Mail to show the icon and not the preview of the attachment?

This is not possible. While you can, as Joseph_S. suggests, hide the preview while you are composing the e-mail, this will in no way affect how the attachment is displayed by the recipient. That is entirely controlled by the recipient's e-mail client. There are hints embedded in the message you send that suggests how to display the image. Those hints always specify to show the image with an inline preview. This cannot be changed. Sorry.

But is there no terminal command to manage this?

In spite of what others on the internet might tell you, there is not.
