nitmd 1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A thunderbird attachment comes in as an .eml file. Apparently outlook generates these and other problematic attachments. I take the page and print it to pdf. Evernote still rejects it with the above error. How can a pdf be potentially executable and how do I fix it? Link to comment

How can a pdf be potentially executable and how do I fix it?If you Google this, it appears to be a problem with Thunderbrd, as many others, over many years have complained about this message when sending/forwarding emails to other people, not just to Evernote.You may find thread helpful:https://webnethosting.net/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/163/10/messages-are-being-bounced-because-of-attachments-ending-in-eml Link to comment
nitmd 1 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I am aware of the problem with eml files. That's why it is printed to a pdf before being sent to evernote. It is the pdf that is rejected. Link to comment

nitmd 1 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes I read the link, and perhaps the confusion is in my original statement. I have taken the attachment and printed it to a pdf. There is no longer anything having to do with an eml. The attachment, as a pdf, if rejected by Evernote. I have the pdf files on a different machine; I will see if the inline option mentioned in that article is the setting used on that machine, but I don't know why it would matter. There is no .eml attachment to cause the problem, and I don't see how the problem can survive the conversion to a pdf. I am apparently missing something here. Link to comment

However, the link demonstrates a way to avoid the initial problem without having to print to PDF & simply forwarding the email inline - not as an attachment. Why add an extra step, if you don't have to? Link to comment
nitmd 1 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Checked settings, I am set to send inline, as the article suggests. No luck. No idea what is going on. Link to comment
RedBug 1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Try to use DropCircle:You could drag and drop your mail (in .eml format) to DropCircle and you have a true note in Evernote with all the image embedded.
