Mail Attachments Iconizer 2.1

Take control of e-mail attachments!


Mail Attachments Iconizer 2 gives you control over attachment handling in Apple Mail. It fixes the most annoying Apple Mail flaws and allows you to configure how attachments are displayed and sent using a simple interface.

Here is a brief overview of what Mail Attachments Iconizer enables compared to the default behavior of Apple Mail:

Mail Attachments Iconizer Apple Mail default behavior
Images and PDF documents will be displayed as icons either always, or if they exceed a specified size. Mail tries to display everything directly in the message, regardless of the number and size of the files, including large PDFs and PostScript files.
Attachments will be displayed respecting the sender's intention if you wish so. Mail never respects the sender's intention (indicated as “content disposition” in the message) when displaying images or PDF/PostScript documents.
Attachments in outgoing mail will have correctly set content disposition, so that they will be displayed to the recipient as you specify. You can neither determine nor control content disposition of the attachments you send. However most e-mail software is standards-compliant and respects content disposition.
Text and HTML attachments will not be erroneously displayed as if they were a part of the message body. Text files erroneously sent with inline content disposition are displayed as a part of the message's text and cannot be viewed separately.
Mail will not try to render PostScript documents directly in the messages. The whole file is processed and then the first page is displayed. This always completely freezes the application for seconds to minutes and sometimes results in a crashes. PostScript is often rendered improperly.
