Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / November 2005Attachment statement or icon no longer showing up in sent mail... how to fix?
It used to be that when I re-read an old Eudora message, one that had an attachment, a statement would show up at the end of the e-mail identifying which document had been sent. i could even forward the message to have the actual icon reappear which would allow me to see just what was sent. I'm now using 6.2.3 and that no longer shows up. It's unnerving because it looks as if I've forgotten to send the attachment! I now have to click the Blah-Blah icon and then I get a line buried at the top "X-attachments: ..." followed by the name of the document. I've just tested this on two old messages... in one case, doing a forward from the message list brought up a new doc with the attachments; in the other case, I had to first re-open the old e-mail, click Blah-Blah, and then forward before anything would show up. Is there a setting I can change to resurrect the old way? > It used to be that when I re-read an old Eudora message, one that had > an attachment, a statement would show up at the end of the e-mail [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > have to click the Blah-Blah icon and then I get a line buried at the > top "X-attachments: ..." followed by the name of the document. I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. When you open a message that you sent out, there is no Blah-blah-blah button. That only appears on incoming messages. I've procrastinated about upgrading, so I'm still using Eudora 6.2.1, but I wouldn't expect attachment handling to have changed. (If I'm wrong, hopefully someone else will speak up about it and correct my info.) When I look at my Out box listing, messages which had an attachment show an attachment icon in the attachments column. When I actually open an outgoing message that had an attachment, the attachment is listed at the top under the heading "Attachments." On incoming messages, the situation is a little different. The mailbox listing shows an icon in the attachments column, but what I see inside the message depends some on the age of the message and whether I still have the attachment. For instance, on an old old message where the attachment has long since been deleted, the bottom of the messages shows: Attachment converted: Macintosh HD:An Electronic Postcard from Fox (GIFf/JVWR) (00010858) On recent messages where the attachment is still present and in the place where Eudora expects to find it, the attachment is displayed inline in the message (because that's how I have Eudora set--you can also set Eudora to not display the messages in line and just double-click the attachment to open it.)

I'm still using 6.1.1 Light, in 10.2.8 and 10.3.9. It works jolly well. Would there be any noticeable advantage in upgrading? SignaturePeter Thanks for responding! Maybe it's something new with 6.2.3 because when if I look at a message I've sent, there is a Blah-Blah button! And that attachment line at the bottom of the message generally seems to NOT be there any more! Weird, eh? I checked and the difference doesn't seem to be between e-mails I received and ones I sent. One thing nifty in your response is that I never had turned on the attachments column before. In click-holding it, a menu of attachment pops up! But I'm not sure I want to use the screen space. By the way, where is the option for showing Attachments in line? I went to the attachments pref panel and there wasn't such a choice. > Thanks for responding!

Weird, eh? Weird all right, because I am on 6.2.3 and it doesn't do this - it behaves exactly like it always did. > I checked and the difference doesn't seem to be between e-mails I > received and ones I sent. I suggest you have a bit of scrambling going on somewhere, and I wouldn't like that on my system. > One thing nifty in your response is that I never had turned on the > attachments column before.

I have to say I'm surprised that you never used/knew about that column before as it's been the default on every version of Eudora I've had, way way back! It's indispensible for me to see quickly what has attachments and what doesn't, and it only takes a few mm of screen space. > By the way, where is the option for showing Attachments in line? I > went to the attachments pref panel and there wasn't such a choice. I suspect inline means inline as far as the coding is concerned and not easily separated out. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong! Rifty. PS Kathy - I don't think you'd have any problems upgrading to the newest version but at the same time I don't know what it really upgraded. The one thing it did do was upset my dual ISP system that was a cinch to rejig depending on what server I was on, but now I *have* to use a relay personality - which I didn't before.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong! Well, what I really should have said is that I've chosen to display graphics in messages. The setting can be accessed under the Fonts & Display pref panel. > PS Kathy - I don't think you'd have any problems upgrading to the newest > version but at the same time I don't know what it really upgraded. I'm sure I won't have a problem; I've just been procrastinating about spending the money. (I screwed around and waited too long, so I have to pay the full price.) I'm sure it's well worth it and I'll do it real soon now. :-) Of course, it's not entirely the money, either; I wouldn't consider any change without doing a backup of my Eudora folder, which I just haven't gotten around to. Maybe I'll do that right now while I'm playing on the computer. > The one thing it did do was upset my dual ISP system that was a cinch to > rejig depending on what server I was on, but now I *have* to use a relay > personality - which I didn't before. That could just be a coincidence; it may be that one of the ISP's changed something at the same time you upgraded. (Or of course it could be a change in Eudora, too.)

Weird, eh? Do you perhaps have Eudora set to automatically cc you on all outgoing messages? (Look in the Settings under Sending Mail--do you have a check in the box for "Automatically Fcc to original mailbox"?) It may be that you are looking at the incoming copy of an outgoing message. I have Eudora set to keep copies of outgoing mail (not to automatically Fcc). With this setting, I don't see what you are seeing.
