csv attachments
There does not seem to be a separate category for the Mail app that is included with Mac OS.
There was an earlier thread on this but it is archived.
When I attached csv files to an email - and send it to folsk on windows - the file gets extra lines inserted - this causes problems for them processing the file.
The file is NOT created by Excel - but it is read into Excel - so changing the way the file is saved is not an possibility - and opening each file just to save it with different format is also not an option as the number of files to be processed makes that too time consuming.
Mail is doing something to the file that it likely does not need to be doing. If I attached the exact same file to a Mac Mail email and also to an email sent from a different email client - and open them both on Windows from Outlook - the Mac Mail file has extra lines and the other does not.
Yes I could remove the extension - or compress - or use a file sharing option instead of email attachment - the trouble is that there are many other folks involved in the process and it may be too difficult to change too much of the process.
Short term - I will simply not use the Mail client included with Mac OS X.
