Mail.app, Exchange server – Inline attachments problem
Posted by Mattias Jönsson
When applying attachment in mail.app you are allowed to add your attachment anywhere in your body part. If you place it in between some text you end up with two attachment instead of one. One with your acctual attachment and one with the text below where you placed your attachment in the mail.
Here is a "solution" or should I say workaround at Apple support
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2928?viewlocale=en_US
Symptoms
If you send messages with attachments via a Mail account that uses a Microsoft Exchange server, recipients of the message may see the text of the message as garbled, or split into several attachments.
Solution
As a workaround: In Mail, choose Attachments > Always Insert Attachments at End of Message from the Edit menu.
Additional Information
Tips
- If you are sending only images as attachments, send the message as Rich Text--add some rich text formatting, such as bold or italicized text, or a bulleted list.
- Alternatively, make sure to insert your attachments at the end of your message, after the body of the message.
Exchange 2007 SP2 upgrade
Posted by Mattias Jönsson
SP2 adds support for Windows Powershell v2, and allows coexistence with Exchange Server 2010. SP2 also adds support for VSS backups of Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008.
Exchange 2007 SP2 updates the Active Directory schema. Details of schema changes, including new attributes and classes, and modifications to existing ones can be found in Active Directory Schema Changes (SP2).
Note, once you install SP2, you cannot uninstall it without uninstalling Exchange 2007 from the server.
Microsoft recommends upgrading Exchange 2007 servers in the following order:
- Client Access Servers (CAS)
- Unified Message (UM) servers
- Hub Transport servers
- Edge Transport servers
- Mailbox servers
