Question

ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail - SOLVED!

Hi All,
We recently discovered the problem where emails with attachments sent from Apple Mail were being received in Outlook, blank but with BOTH the attachment and the email itself as an ATT00001.htm attachment!
I've discovered that the problem kicks in if the attachment is placed BEFORE the email message! If I write an email and then add an attachment AFTERWARD, ie. below the text, there is no problem.
I hope this helps...

Mac Pro (3,1) 2.8GHz / Macbook Pro (4,1) 2.4GHz / iPhone 3GS 16GB, Mac OS X (10.6.6), MP (6GB RAM/320GB HD/nVidia 8800GT) / MbP (4GB RAM/200GB HD)

Same thing will happen with pictures inserted in line - - all text after the first picture rides along as one or more attachments. That's why I went to Mail.app > menubar > Edit > Attachments > and checked the "Always insert attachments at end of message" item. Limits your functionality somewhat but plays nicer with Outlook users.

Hi, you could try Universal Mailer plugin (http://noware-it.zxq.net), it solves this issue by correctly handling attachments. This also solves the problem for inlined images, which can now be correctly seen by recipients.

PS: following Apple's forum rules I have to state that, since I'm the developer of Universal Mailer, I might make some profits from it. Also, on the website you can find a free version of the plugin, which has some limitation but can be used to test its functionality.
