Attachments sent from Mail do not show up in Outlook

Have been running into a problem wherein attachments sent from Apple Mail do not show up for Outlook users they are sent to. If I switch and send the same attachment via GMail for instance it shows up fine. Apple Mail locally shows the attachment as having been sent. Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts on how it might be fixed?

Still a problem on a mac and much more convoluted if you throw in your iPhone don't have time to try iPad. None of the attachments at the end, plain text, fixes available that i can find. I've tried forwards and created new emails on my phone, if it passes through an email account on an exchange server and look at the emial on my phone I get a "C" extension text file, if the attachment is not at the end. if i send the same thing to my phone account works just fine.


Something seems to be happening when the mail hits the exchange server?? It does not appear to be simply a rendering issue, the email was sent from my iP4 to an email account on an exchange server and read on the same iP4 that sent it.


I've got to agree with those that are dumping this on the Apple guys. I read about this same thing happening for YEARS and it only happens with emails that originate from the Mac Mail clients.

Somewhere, I can't find it now, there is a setting to put the attachments at the end of the composed email. This solved the problem for me. I have a different issue, which is that some attachments do not show up even though they are there. If I read them with webmai, I see the attachment, but with mac mail, only the first attachment shows up, even in quickview. An example is an email with an attached one page gif and a multipage pdf. The gif shows but not the pdf. The clue is in the message size, it is obvious that the pdf is also there.
