Mail Attachments Iconizer Overview
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 the recipient will see them in the way 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. |
