• Needs a Yosemite version

  dkrockvilleDecember 7, 2014

  Pros

  Great app for handling attachments

  Cons

  The Mavericks version is still in beta, after months; there is no Yosemite version.

  Summary

  When will developer update the app? Is it all over for Attachment Tamer? Is there another Mail plugin alternative?

• Best way for mac users to email attachments to PC users

  ferd farnsworthOctober 16, 2013

  Pros

  I've been using Attachment Tamer and Iconizer before that for years. Why Mac Mail doesn't work this way to begin with is incomprehensible. As a Mac user in a still-mostly-windoze world, this tool let's me ensure recipients get attachments the way I want them to. Easily set defaults and change them on the fly when needed with a simple right-click selection.

  Cons

  I guess the free version's notification was a little annoying, but this little tool quickly became so indispensable, I was happy to pay for it.

• great way to insure compatibility across platforms

  Sore LoserMarch 3, 2013

  Pros

  Easy to install, regular updates to software, and removes issues with MAC mail attachments (especially Microsoft) that do not show up on PC mail clients.

  Cons

  None: works as advertised.

  Summary

  This is an excellent product that does what it promises and maximizes compatibility across different platforms and e-mail clients.

• not installing

  BilgeCJanuary 31, 2013

  Pros

  There are no pros in my case.

  Cons

  The installer app is not installing anything, and the support email id is non responsive for over 3 days. I'm not exactly thrilled. I use OS X 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2.

• Excellent, must-have!

  MaryaKZApril 19, 2011

  Pros

  Finally makes clunky Mac email program work much more smoothly, with respect to handling attachments. They are displayed as icons at the top of the incoming email, and I can choose whether to look at them or not. Other display options available too.

  Cons

  Version 3.02 had major bug; version 3.03 fixed that & works fine now. Excellent customer support from the developer!

  Summary

  I have been using Iconizer, the previous name of this wonderful little program, for several years, almost since I got my macbook in 2008. It has always worked fine. I was prompted to upgrade to Attachment Tamer a few weeks ago, version 3.02 at that time. This caused a huge problem in that I was no longer able to either reply to or forward any email that came with attachments -- clicking on either of those commands did not even bring up the mail window; nothing at all. After scouring forums to no avail, I simply wrote an email to Adam Noheji, the developer, &#38; explained my problem. He responded within a few hours and advised me to download the next version, 3.03, which immediately cleared up the problem. So here are two wonderful things: the software works great, and the customer support is exemplary! Apple's email program is pretty awful on several levels, but at least now, with Attachment Tamer, there is one less thing to gnash my teeth about.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 19, 2011<p/>Addendum: Using OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)

• Must have Mail.app plugin!

  ErgoladMarch 15, 2011

  Pros

  Great Support Stable Solid performance Tight integration Super-fair upgrade policy!!!

  Cons

  None that I can think of!

  Summary

  Been using it so long in combination with Mail.app I can't imagine what it would be like to use Mail without it! This is a solid, ever-evolving Mail.app plugin. As a switcher, and once heavy user of Outlook, this tool solves a lot of the issues that I had in regards to attachments in Mail.app. Have been using it, and its previous incarnations from the beginning. Happy with its performance, and support, when needed, has always been prompt &#38; truly helpful. Love the new features in V3, particularly handling rogue ATT attachments that seems to find there way into messages when viewed by Windows users.

• Attachment Tamer 3.0 - One great update!

  psr--2008March 13, 2011

  Pros

  Suppression of attachments, unless wanting to visualize. It is just so sweet how well it works.

  Cons

  I see nothing to complain about. Attachment Tamer is perfect and a much needed addition to Mail.app.

  Summary

  This latest major release (3.0) is by far the cleanest looking interface of all, as I have used version 1.x and 2.x. Little used settings were removed and great new ones added. I particularly like having the ability to show the attachments at the top of the message. One simple right click on an icon and you have your attachment in all its glory. This is if you want to see an attachment. Many times you do not and that is where Attachment Tamer shines. Best of all, it is free to version 1.x and 2.x registered users.
