File attachment in mail on Mac OS X

I tried to send 3 files attached to an email. The files were 3 jpg images totaling 4,5 Mb.The files were converted automatically to BinHex at the time of sending the email.

Looking at the files with a text editor, I found this at the top:

(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)

There is something not working wright here because the file is not usable anymore, keeps the original jpg extension and thus image viewers cannot understand it.

Conversion happens only after sending the memo. Saving into drafts does not encode it. Encoding happens at the time of sending.

Subject: More information needed.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

I tried the following steps, but I can not reproduce the issue:

Attach a JPG image into a new mail, option “compress” is selected, but the option “Create windows-friendly attachment” is not selected.

Save the mail as draft

Open the draft, view the attachment, the JPG image can be viewed.

Am I missing something? Could you please also provide the JPG image? Thank you!

Subject: I can send sample if needed

I tried to post a file with a sample message, but it was not possible (timeout).Let me know if you need me to send it by email.

Write to me so that I respond quickly (ldd@amiura.com)

Subject: try sending the mail to an outside recipient (internet address)

Ju,

as long as the memo is not sent, the files are not converted and thus are viewable; after sending, not even the Mac can see them. If I ask Notes to view the jpg file it cannot.

P.S.: the files were drag&drop’ed

Subject: I think you selected BinHex 4.0 for outbound Mac attachment conversion.

Please open Preferences dialog, go to Locations tab, edit your current location, select Advanced->MIME Settings tab, you can see your Outbound Mac attachment conversion option there.
