Mail 8.1, attachments in outlook are showed with ATT00001.htm files

Question

Mail 8.1, attachments in outlook are showed with ATT00001.htm files

At my work I use Mac and Mail 8.1 app. Everyday I send attachments to Outlook users and they see with attachment files ATT00001.htm. If I send 10 attachments outlook users see 20 attached files - 10 of them trash files like ATTxxxxx.htm. Before upgrading to Mail 8.1 I was using add-ons to Mail app like Universal Mailer http://universalmailer.github.io/UniversalMailer/download.html

which is not supported in Mac Mail 8.1;

and before Yosemite I was using Attachment Tamer from http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer

which is not supported in Yosemite.

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this problem (any add-on to Mail app which will be working with Mail 8.1)?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I have been looking for an add on like Attachment Tamer since updating to Yosemite, and it appears that the Universal Mailer works without an issue on Mail 8.1, and solves my inline attachments issue I had when people get my mails on Outlook on a PC. So thank you, you just solved an irritating problem for me.

It seems like I just needed to reinstall Universal Mailer (in spite the fact that I already had the same version installed before upgrading Yosemite).

This add on is working after being reinstalled.

Thank you, kingluc79!

I was looking for the alternative for Attachment Tamer (since they haven't released an update) to work on Mail 8.1

After reading this thread I removed Attachment Tamer (through it's installer) and installed this Universal Mailer.

Necessary configuration was done under Mail > Preference > Universal Mailer

Unfortunately I'm still sending jpg as thumbnail.

Is anyone having the same issue here? 😟

We have the same problem in the office too since the update to Mac OS X Yosemite and Mail 8.2. We are using Microsoft Exchange. Every mail we send from Apple Mail will have an attached .html file after every attachment. This is especially bad when there is still some text after the attachment, because this text will be moved into the .html file too so no receiver will ever read it.

Looks like a similar problem was already existing some years ago:

Mail attaches an HTML file for each file that I attach

It seems as I could solve the problem though installing the Universal Mailer mentioned above.
