We have used your forms for many years now but lately all attachment sent to us through the form are corrupted and will not open. Is there something we should update?

Good Day,

I am guessing that you are checking the mail via the built in e-mail client in MAC OS? It appears that older versions of MAC OS (the email client within) are having issues with emails in HTML format with attachments.

Please try changing the format of the message from HTML to Text under Edit > Basic Form Information. Is this doesn't resolve the issue, please email me the form location and a forwarded copy of the form submission to:

info@mycontactform.com

I'm having the same issue. I am using MacOS 10.6.8. I have always used the text format of my forms, but recently am not able to open the photos that are attached.

My form is located at:

Unfortunately, this looks to be a bug with how Mac OS is handling the MIME attachments. I would recommend using an alternative email client such as Thunderbird as they work fine in every other email client (including Mac's mobile client).

I should add, can you please submit a form with an image and then forward me the message? I'd like to look at the ways in which Mac OS is modifying the email headers as I think this is the source of the issue.

This will work. If you use retrieve your messages via iCloud on a browser instead of opening in the software, it opens fine.

If anyone has a fix via the iMail software, please let me know.

Thanks,
Steve
