email attachment grayed out on word for mac

The number of attachments neither seems to make a difference. I have the problem with both word documents and PDF files. Regarding file types of the unremovable attachments there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I also created a smart mailbox to show only mails that do have an attachment and are in the sent folder: Only the mails sent before installing lion are listed (attachements can be removed) – all lately sent mails are nout found: Obviously something makes Mail.app 'forget' that there is an attachment when sending mails in Lion, thus graying out the command to remove the attachment from the specific mail. The mail preview on the right, however, correctly shows that the mail has an attachment and it can be opnened by clicking. The paper-clip should appear next to the addressee's name. Attachments can be removed from those mails within Mail.app.Īnother thing I noticed: The mails that do have the problem do not show the paper-clip symbol in the list of mails on the left side. Mails sent through the mobile me web interface for example behave normally after being synced back to Mail.app.

Just tried it out a little bit more: The problem is related only to mails sent from Mail.app 5.0 in Lion.
