Try a couple things:
1. Check the emails in a different email client such as Gmail's web client of Thunderbird. Both are free.
2. Make sure your page is setup to use UTF-8 character encoding. You can ensure that you are using UTF-8 by inserting the following line into the <head> of your web document:
| Code: |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> |

thanks for responding
1) on Gmail online the attachment is visible but not after downloading with Mac Mail App
2) We use attachments the whole day long and never have an issue with reading them except for the uploaded to email one via myConact from now
3) I did add that string to the HTML myContactForm gave me, added it right to the very top on it but no change in behavior. |
Unfortunately, this is an issue with how Mac Mail encodes the messages. Try installing Thurderbird on the computer. It works in this app. |

| Can you explain to me how/why this is the only way attachments are unreadable with Mac mail? I mean emailing the very same attachment works great. Only when receiving the attachment via myContactFrom will change them? |
It has to to with a proprietary standard Mac Mail uses to encode the messages. I do not have access to a Mac, so it is tough for me to reverse engineer the problem. Unfortunately, however it affects a small number of Mac users. The attachments encode correctly in every other mail client we have tested.
