How to disable inline image attachments in Mac OS X Mail.app

Leave a comment

When you open or preview mails in Mail.app in Apple Mac OS X, the first thing you have problem with is big images are getting displayed within the message. Many times this makes you frustrating because you want to read the message and not want to keep on scrolling the window left and down. This is default behavior of Mail.app and does not show the images as attachments (even though sender had sent as attachment).

To overcome this behavior, you can disable the Inline Attachment Viewing flag for Mail.app. To do so, open up a terminal window from “Applications->Utilities” and type or paste below command:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes

At any point if you change your mind and come back to the default behavior use the below command:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false

Restart the Mail.app and voila!

Also remember, this will disrupt any HTML mails coming which have images.

Google with new top bar

Today, Google has changed its interface across all application. It has introduced a new design for top bar with black background.

Also, in some cases it is showing a new search button in blue along with a magnify glass icon. And there are no separator line between left panel and the search result which use to be there earlier. Also, the menu items on the left side panel have completely new icon set with more of black and gray stuff.

iPad 2 Launch Day Experience

Leave a comment

It was 4:45 PM EST, when I entered Best Buy for picking up the new iPad 2 on the Launch day, i.e. March 11. Not to surprise to me, there were already 100 people in front of me. Best Buy start delivering exactly at 5 PM with no no ice or any attention. I never felt that it is something Apple product queue. I remember last year when I was behind around 120 people to get my iPhone 4 on Apple Store, we were able to make it with the people crying mad when Apple stored doors opened. But nothing like that here.

Check out for details of iPad here, Apple iPad 2

Standing in the queue with my friend Saptarshi, Best Buy came confirm which flavor of iPad 2 we want. I picked up WiFi 64 GB Black and he initially picked up WiFi 16 GB White but changed his mind within 2 minutes and settled for Black only. Best Buy only allowed one iPad per person though lot of wanted more.

Finally we got it in our hands after 2.5 hours wait. When asked about the cover to choose, we asked for the Apple Smart Cover, black one. But within minutes we realized that it is not the Smart Cover which we got I our bags. Later got it changed with the right one but Best Buy was with limited colors and we settled for Grey one only.
