Mac mail do not show attachments inline

So I pose two questions the second rhetorical: Why do we so willingly upgrade software? There is no evidence that new code is better than old code. I also had the problem about disappearing attachments from the Mail app thought I was going mad, but could clearly see the attachments when accessing my e-mails through webmail. Upgraded to Sierra These answers are B.

I have the same issue with the attachment symbol not showing up after the procedure method in this article.

I upgraded from Lion to Sierra The first time I upgraded from Lion I lost all my mail when I was told to rebuild so reluctant to try it again I needed to upgrade my hosting mail service first then upgrade a second time.

Any ideas? I guess it may be time to dump Mail. Woo hoo! I felt deep frustration at not seeing the attachments and found this thread on the web. I tried to rebuild, and it wiped out everything in the To and Subject categories from January to yesterday and I almost had a heart attack. Luckily I went to a different mailbox and when I came back, all the emails were there. But no attachments from March 16 on. I had all the same issues, mail not working after a Sierra upgrade.

I found that some of my emails were ok, and others were not.

I turned this feature ON, and all my non working email accounts now work. I hope this helps! Some full disclosure: I still have 1 AOL that is not working, but 1 that is. With Sierra The size text 1. In the same inbox I have messages with embedded images that I can open with right clicking and double clicking opens preview. I normally zip my attached images, but I lost faith in Apple Mail. Yet another example of how Mac email is far lacking on the most basic of functions. Delay delivery? Basic attachments as icons? Heck, even groups? Apple email is still an amateur program.

Same issue here, drives me crazy. Some mails with or without attachements disappeared after I clicked on them and read them once. Nothing remains in the trash or anywhere else. Now I need to forward each new email to another mailbox if I want to keep them. It is unusable.

I have this problem too. I can see a paperclip icon indicating an attachment, but no sign of the attachment in mail. This is with OS X I forwarded the email to my gmail account, and YES! I could see the attachments in that account. It was the mac. I have tried most things to bring the the paperclp back but to no avail. What I did was to rename one of the coloured flags attachments. Then when opening the e mail or sending identify it with the coloured attachments label.

Then when I need e mail with attachment they all come up and trawl through. What do I do now? Name required. Mail will not be published required. All Rights Reserved.

The only way around this is to forward the email to yourself without attachments, but I imagine this is a less than perfect solution. Although a Mac user all my life really long I am still in the dark with so many things. Gladly pay your fee what ever it is and I will call you at a specific time of your choosing,day or night?

What do you say? PLease help me…. Hi Jason — I actually do work with folks across the country and even in other countries. All the best — John — john noproblemmac. This worked great… the person I was emailing asked for an attachment… even though it was one already. He wanted the icon evidently. Saw a hundred blogs for permanent solution, But Bam! First time ever searching solutions on net worked out! So grateful to your Terminal Thing solution. Used The Command and now files are permanently shown to me and my end Mail user as Icons. Thanks alot John! I would go online and search for a solution — terminal or otherwise — that will work with your version of macOS.

Hi John, Thanks the sending part worked great but the person who is recieving my email is still getting attachments in open view format. Is there a way to send so that they receive my attachments in icon format? If anyone has different information, please post. Thanks a million. Thank you John! Your clear, easy to follow instructions saved the day!

Put OS X and MacOS Attachments at the End of Emails

I entered the command into Terminal and it works for me when I am sending an email, but I would like to know if there is a setting for an email I received. It is easier for me to select multiple attachments to click and drag if they are set to view as icon.

Thank for these instructions. It is a lot cleaner when I am sending emails. There is no setting that I am aware of. I would Google for an answer, but be careful what you do in Terminal. This seems to be no longer true. View as icon is not visible in this list. When I right click it states none of the options you have listed, do you mind if I send you a screenshot? Hi Lev — This is an issue in High Sierra.

Hopefully it will be addressed in an update. As a writer of of many one-page manuscripts, I need to be sure that recipients are receiving icons. It is paramount that manuscripts not be viewed until the receiver often my publisher is in a frame of mind to read it — sneak peeks end badly before coffee. I want my one page pdf to appear as an icon on emails in mail for mac, so I used the command in Terminal suggested here. It works, recipients are receiving the pdf as an icon. HOWEVER, when I send a copy of this same email to myself — for my records and peace of mind — the pdf is again embedded in the body rather than as an icon!

This gives me no peace of mind and no way of knowing what the recipient received without asking them. Hi Jorie — Unfortunately the only information I could find is about an App called Attachment Tamer, but it looks as if development may have stalled indefinitely. If i hear of anything I will update this comment. Good luck. I am so grateful to you for giving me the correct solution to this issue and making the directions so simple! The client wanted a big file but my mb file leaving here arrived as 6mb. How can I stop the compression?

Try this — https: So I assume they were sent that way instead of as icons. Why are my attachments always going to the bottom of my email aol on a Mac I used to be able to click on the text and insert the attachment there. I have trouble with Mac email. I tried it by emailing scanned copies to my own email address using MacBook, it happens as well. Please help. Hi Amanda — The only way i can really get you an answer is if you email the pdf to me — john noproblemmac. Thanks, that worked. I cannot right-click, not having set my mouse to do so, but using Control and clicking on the attachment I was able to use the dropdown menu to change it into an icon.

Hi Olivia — Can you describe what you mean? Let me know. Disabling the preview to an icon is all well and good for viewing, but can this be the case for printing? Would love it if they remained as icons.
