Well what you should be able to do and what you can do don’t seem to work. And, I found out that this is a known bug that plagues some folks back in to Lion. So here’s the fix, and it did work for me at least. You create a message rule. If all conditions are met, all attachments containing “.” m

You should always be able to save with save attachments in the file menu even if you can't open it. Be sure to go down below "save" to "save attachments". As for opening rather than saving, if you interact with the text and move very slowly, you can often, but not always, get on the attachment.

Yes, I did that first because actualy that's always been the most reliable way for me. Shows it as being greyed out actually. The attachment is normal on all other devices, not weird imbedded object or anything. But the mac only sees it in the headers. On 11/22/13, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Did you c

That never works for me because don’t you have to focus on the attachment first? For me, under the so-called normal view, attachments do not show up in the body of the message at all. And, interacting with the header information of the message, I can see the attachments, but, cannot open using
