I want to get attached, but mail won’t allow me….

I have to make a resolution to try to stop coming up with bad puns, or word gags for my blog posts… But I do it so unfrequently….

Sorry, I got off on a tangent there…

Have you run into a situation where Apple mail just seems to reject any attachments that you add?  For example, through the Attachment button, or drag and drop?

If so, try turning off “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message”.

If that solves you problem, then you have run into a bug…  The console window will probably report:

  • Canceling drag because exception ‘DOMException’ (reason ‘*** NOT_FOUND_ERR: DOMException 8’) was raised during a dragging session.

It seems that in some situations you can’t drag and drop an attachment into a completely blank email message.  Simply add content to the message body seems to resolve the issue…
