Making Mac Attachments “Window’s Friendly”

Posted by Dianne Hartwick in Media, Organization, Preparedness, Uncategorized | 0 comments

As a Window’s user myself, receiving emails from clients who are Mac users can sometimes be a headache. I am often unable to see or open attachments received from Mac computers; causing me to sometimes miss important messages.  I then face the hassle of searching through threads of emails to find the hidden attachment. If this happens to you or a window’s user you often communicate with, there is a simple way to prevent attachments from being lost or unopened.

To make an individual attachment “Window’s Friendly”

Step 1: Open the Mac mail application, open a new email and click on the attachment icon.

Step 2: The choose file box will appear, in the left corner of the box is the options button. Press it and select “Send window’s friendly attachments”.

To make all future attachments “Window’s Friendly”

Step 1: Open the Mac mail application, and at the top bar select edit- attachments and then select “Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments”
