Why Do I Keep Receiving Mime-Attachment Files in Mac Mail ?

Question

I'm using Mac Mail on Leopard. Certain people keep sending me attachments that Mac Mail is converting to Mime-Attachment. I can't open them or do anything with them. However, the same email and attachment work just fine in any non-Mac environment. I can open them via Web mail or in a Windows mail client.

Most, but not all of the attachments are CSV files. As I said this only happens with certain people who send me email. How can I stop these files from being converted to mime-attachment?

Thanks!

Answer 1

A CSV file is a text file, so if it's being converted to mime text you should be able to read it. (Set your email program to handle mime text with your text editor.)

Answer 2

It occurs to me too in all my computers and with diverse browsers, I actually were forwarding my yahoo emails to my Gmail account the position I even don't have any problem downloading, or seeing those connected to the body of the message. Yahoo! what is going on, are you attempting to do away with your honest purchasers...!!???
