![]() If you already have a previous version of AirMail installed, when you run the download file it will upgrade your previous version of AirMail, and will preserve your settings and address book. Maybe, bring us Markdown support too in iOS (like on your desktop version.The download version of AirMail is packaged as a self- extracting “Zip” file, which is available by following the links from the Download Page on this website. I once more ask the Airmail team to please fix this bug. Useįor display purposes, but let users know that there is an attachment. An attachment is an attachment and an image is ultimately an attachment (if not remote). If Airmail treats my email as a multi-part/alternative MIME message, fine I guess (even though I didn't include any HTML elements), but handle the image correctly. Only when the sender outright indicates within the text that they've included an image, would the Airmail user realize that there was a problem – and perhaps chalk it up to a sender's email client issue. I'd wager that many users of Airmail do not realize that this is even happening. Since Airmail is not handling the sending of emailed attachments correctly, it also explains why it is not rendering received emails that contain image attachments correctly too. When I open the email in Mail, the plain text is visible along with the two photos (open, visible and inline). Now, from inside the Apple Mail app sent folder, you can see that the exact same email has an attachment because there is a paperclip that indicates it. ![]() When opened, only the plain text part of the email is visible with no indication that attachments were included. From the Airmail sent folder, you can see that the email header summary does not include any visual indication, like a paperclip, that the email includes attachments. I intended to send a MIME Content-Type: text/plain email with two attachments – to get technical on how Airmail or any standards compliant MUA should handle this. Of course, it's up to the recipient's email client to decide on how to display that email, but on Airmail's side there should be no confusion. Any standard email client would send the email out and represent it as one that included an attachment. I selected two images this way to attach to the email. I opened up the Airmail composer, wrote some plain text, then tapped on the photo library attachment icon. Here is an example of how Airmail contributes to usage problems and makes it unreliable.įrom inside Airmail for iOS, I composed an email to the Coda team. I have Apple's built in Mail client set up not to download remote images too. If emails are delivered to Airmail clients missing intended attachments, that will cause obvious issues and makes Airmail unreliable.įor security and bandwidth reasons I have settings set not to download remote images or automatically download attachments in Airmail. However, UX and user expectations need to be carefully considered. If there is an inline image, it does not trigger the attachment icon – as it is an inline image vs an attachment In fact, I receive way too many emails in Airmail that appear blank or oddly missing photo attachments that the sender obviously included, based upon the text content of the email.Ī reply from the Airmail team reflects the crux of the issue: ![]() This is a critical bug that I've observed on the Mac desktop Airmail client too. This is really just my one gripe review, but one which is critical enough to affect usage and result in miscommunication – something no email client these days should do.īug: Emails do not always display attached photos or indicate attachments. There are enough other reviews out there to learn more about those things. I really love the customization of Airmail and it is superior to other email apps for iOS for this alone.
