Mail no longer shows attachments in paper clip column

I am experiencing this problem in Sierra. Since upgrading to Sierra, all incoming emails (not Sent emails) that have an attachment do NOT show the paperclip icon in the expected column in the viewer window. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've the same problem after an upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra.

No attachments shown in paper clip column of classic view

Is this the inbox or the sent box?

In classic view you control click in the column header area and check attachment. This should carry over to the new View.

Newly sent mail seem to be missing the Attachment paperclip (sent box.) Hopefully this can be sorted with enough feedback.

Yes old import mail of mine in the Sent box show the icon, Since Lion upgrade the icon is missing from newly sent mail. Bummer

I think the problem (bug) is bit worse. Try sending just an attachment (no text). I get this for a display:

Perhaps why the icon missing, is because Mail can't determine what's in the message correctly. Well, let's see what comes out in 10.7.2 🙂

Exact same problem here. Have you heard anything yet? Nothing in this thread either applies directly, or fixes the issue, for me. 10.7.1, Apple Mail (all current), multiple POP and IMAP accts checked, no paper clips in Sent. Tried, for fun, to moving sent mail with attachments (and no clip) into another mailbox, like Inbox, to see. Still didn't show up. No response from Apple on bug report, of course.

I did get a follow up from the bug report on Date: August 15, 2011

From the Developer Support- it is a known issue.

I cant' believe it's been a known issue since August 2011 and at the end of March 2012 it's still not fixed. This is a major hassle. Apple, please do something about this!

10.7.3 here, and still the same issue persists.

Apple, fix this please.

In Lion the paper clip is shown (if there is an attachment) after the senders name in the message list.

OSX 10.7.3

Got signed out.

The sent paperclip shows up fine if the mail is put into folders on your Mac or if the reply is opened.

You can always change over to the old classic Layout > Mail prefs > Viewing.

Just left click the bar and select the columns you want including attachments..

I have 0SX 10.7.3, I'm in classic layout mode because that's what I prefer. After switch to Lion, the paperclip for sent emails simply does not appear. Perhaps it does for you, but it does not for me, and apparently many others. If we could figure out why it is a problem for some but not for others, maybe a fix could be worked out.

If I open the email, then I can see the attachment, but this isn't the problem. The problem is that the paperclip doesn't show up in the paperclip column for any sent email, so when I'm trying to find sent emails with attachments, I can't identify those with attachments.

It is also odd, because the clip DOES appear for incoming mails, just not sent mails.It's a real pain, and clearly many people have this problem and Apple has not solved it.

I have the same problem. Has anyone tried Thunderbird?

Thunderbird works fine, I've used it off and on, no complaints at all - message rendering is good, but I've noticed one or two odd things which may have more to do with the message, not the mail app. If you're an iPhone user, I dont know how well it integrates, but it's the best desktop mail option if you want to ditch Apple Mail, IMO. I can't believe how annoying it is not to have the paperclip for attachments in sent mail in Apple Mail, but it really is bothersome. Has anyone found a plug-in for Mail that fixes this? Clearly Apple has other fish to fry.
