Attachments sent from Mail do not show up in Outlook

Do you send them as Windows friendly attachments?

It must be a setting in Outlook that needs tweaking.

If they show as sent, then they were sent.

It's not an Outlook problem. Its an apple mail problem. The problem occurs with all mailers except apple mail.

When will there be a fix?

I've also been having this problem. Receivers say they don't get the attachments despite them being sent as windows friendly. They show up as sent in my outbox. Any suggestions?

Should also note that the problem occurs with jpeg files as well.

Wonder why Apple is so hush hush about this bug?

When will there be a fix???

Same problem. Have tried both suggestions I was able to find with no joy. That is, change from Rich Text to Plain Text and to do this mod "defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes". And in both cases, attachments, JPGs in this case, were sent as "Windows friendly". A major screw-up by Apple it would seem.

Hey guys

I have a quesitons as i have not seen this behavior and it all works fine for me. So, i want to throw some questions out to you guys who its failing on.

1. What OSX version are you running? I Have tested with 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 and it works

2. Is this only failing internal or external from your exchange? I have tested interneal and external and it works

3. What do you have your attachment settings at? I have mine set to "alwasy inset at end of message" and have tested "Windows frendly" both worked fine.

So, basiclly, i cannot get this to fail as you guys have described but i beleive you have a problem, i just wanted to help narrow down the issue.

David, it does fail. The problem is you are likely emailing other Mac users. If that is not the case, please let us know exactly what kind of users you are emailing attachments to, what OS and email client they are using.

Keep in mind, this only affects IMAGES, not PDF's or other attachments like zipped files.

Also good to note is that many of the more advanced users can figure out how to right click to open/view the attachment.

However, MOST of the windoze world is not that "advanced"... My guess is you are not sending to a wider audience of windoze drones like many of us are forced to do.

APPLE? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS????

Jeremy,

Thank you for your response.

I do not disagree its failing for people, I'm just trying to narrow it down.

I emailed Mac and windows users.

But I emailed a document. Thank you for telling me its images only. I will start testing that when I get back from lunch. Now you have giving me some more to work with I can do some more testing.

Thanks again

I have the same problem where certain attachements sent from Apple Mail do not appear in Outlook.

• The problem appears on both OS X 10.7 and 10.7.1. I'm using Apple Mail with Exchange 2007.
• I have checked that the attachement does apper in my "Sent" items on Apple Mail, but not in the same folder on my Outlook 2007 (Windows).
• The problem is with PDF files as well.
• I do have both "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachements" and "Always Insert Attachements at End of Message" checked. (Doesn't make a difference).
• The problem only occurs when replying to (especially) long email messages. If I compose a new message, this never happens.
• My recepients use Outlook 2007 + Exchange 2007 (I'm using the same Exachnge with Apple Mail), BlackBerry and Entourage 2008 + Exchange 2003.

This has been a major source of embarrasement.

In my personal view, Apple Mail lags behind for the Enterprise. It has numerous nifty features that can increase productivity dramaticaly, yet it's missing some essentials. It doesn't even support Push Mail for Outlook 2007 (but my iPhone does!)

You hit the nail on the head. It is a HUGE EMBARRASEMENT.

Apple we need a fix ASAP.

Still no solution to this annoyng and frustrating issue. I have to keep using gmail web interface and this is tedious when having to send several pictures to PC users, after we look like the ones not able to send attachments!

Well, you have two options:

• Ask your friend to get a Mac! 😉 (and use Apple Mail, that is)
• Compose a new email message with the attachements.

I think I figured out how to re-produce this behavior, but any case, I'm hoping OS X 10.7.2 would fix it.
